Hi,

Bit of a strange one. When I am playing any game, just before a character speaks, the game stutters/lags as if it has to load something.

This is the only lag I get and it is strange as I have a High spec Gaming rig.

SLI TITANs,
ASUS P9X79,
PRO i7-3820 4200GHZ set with turbo ratio.
16 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum
1200w Corsair PSU
250GB Solid State
1TB WD Hard Drive

I haven't tried anything much apart from a reload so far, as I am not too sure where to start.

Would love to hear some suggestions or if someone has had this issue before.

Cheers,
James O.

Skyrim, Cod Ghosts, Crysis 3, the stanley parable (which is on par with half life 2 for graphics so really isn't taxing), and saints row 4. Anything that has a lot of speech seems to be worse :S

Very annoying, as a lot of games have a lot of speech.

Just bringing up an old thread that I have had some headway with.

I had the RAM running at 1600 mhz at 1.5v (basically defualt settings but bumped up to 1600MHZ). I thought that was fine (as that is what it states clearly on the side of the RAM).

I was still getting the stupid frame drop issues. (Worse in some games then others)

I hit defualt on the Motherboard and notice that it goes down to 1333mhz for RAM. This got me thinking.

I did some research and apparently 1600 MHZ on Corsair Vegance RAM only works in XMP mode. (as that adjusts voltage and some other settings).

I haven't tried XMP mode yet, but I did test at 1333mhz for a long while, and the FPS drops went away in all the games that exhibited them (Titanfall/Crysis 3 and some other high demand games).

A little bit of a noob thing for me to overlook. I always had suspicions that it could be something to do with the RAM, but it did seem much more GPU related.

I hope this will help someone else who has had hours and hours of frustration and failed attempts to sort this out! (I stumbled across this after basically rewiring my entire PC from the power supply up to ensure that I had put everything on the correct Rails (turns out on my PSU it is one 12v rail at 100AMPS so that was a waste of time!)
