So, this is the first thing that I saw that made sense and was cheap to test. Cause I don't have that many spare parts lying around just waiting here to be tested. Here are my specs and my problem:
Geforce GTX 760 [zotac]
Intel I5 4440 3.10GHz
Motherboard: Asus B85M-E/BR
RAM: corsair vengeance 8gb & 4GB DDR3 1600
psu: TR2 600W
OS: W10 pro
2 monitors 25"
I got this setup there's more than one year I belive? before that I had a RAMPAGE GENE IV, but it got torched and I had to exchange motherboard [a cheaper one, unfortunately] and processor as well[²], after that I started having problems with FPS in all my games, but I also didnt have time to play so I just got over it ( after months of several drivers, fixes, and shits ). Yesterday It got on my nerves and I started looking for a solution that didn't involve zotac warranty [I live in brasil, cannot pay shipping to the us for fixing it], nor exchanging my videoboard, cause it was fucking expensive and I cannot afford another right now. I stumbled upon this post and went digging. That's exactly what I changed on my bios settings settings:

I couldn't find anything related to hyper threading, apparently my processor model doesnt have that shit anymore, didn't bother looking why, yet.
And I also couldn't find anything on Video frame values? But what I COULD find, was a fuckton of power/efficiency/speed/whatnot management for my processor. I didnt turn everything off, but I turned those that I found more appropriate... [cause im a very qualified professional... pff]. But fuck that, TA Fuc***** DAH, it worked!
I went from crazy 40/70 fps on GW2, with those damn stutters of 7FPS (SEVEN#%@¨), that werent' really stutters cause they never recovered to 80/190!!!! (shit doesnt stabilize for fuck, it depends at what im looking at in the game atm, water, cities full of players, rock landscapes), and it doesnt just drop anymore.
I got minor stutters, when Im looking at gifs in one of 20 chrome abs, changing windows seem to cause some minor shit too, but I cannot complain, game is superb s2.
Ah, my motherboard also keeps changing my ddr to 1333, even tho its 1600 so i changed that too.
Grade A advice there dude, thanks a lot!

Hi everyone,
I believe I have an answer to this frustrating problem. I was doing just fine with my Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 760 for over a year and for no apparent reason, the video started stuttering badly in Battlefield 4. I tried ~everything~ to fix it --updated drivers, unloaded programs & services, tweaked the card with EVGA's Precision-X program and Nvidia's control panel. Nothing worked. I read all the message boards and everyone else seemed to be as baffled by this problem as myself. Well, I did not give up. Are you ready for this???
What I discovered is that the solution lies in your CMOS settings. First thing you want to do is set your video Frame size to its maximum value. Mine was set to 128MB and I increased it to 1GB. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I went it to the ~Processor Optimization~ section and TURNED OFF "Hyper-Threading" and all processor optimizations and power-saving what-ever's.
Upon rebooting and going back into Battlefield, I now have crisp, SMOOTH frames --even at the "Ultra" quality settings. The game has never played so fast ever! It is simply amazing how hyper-threading killed my game's performance. Apparently, simultaneous multithreading (SMT) increases cache thrashing and many coders are abandoning it in favor of out-of-order execution which is said to give better performance. Give it a try. It's an easy fix your frame-skipping woes.

Hello all,
I recently bought an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 and the card seemed dead. I would get low resolutions and 16bit graphics when I booted up. I returned the card and got a new one and now the card seems to work but is stuttering when I actually go to play a game and the FPS are really low.
My system is:
GPU: MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
CPU: Intel i7 4770K @ 3.5GHz
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3
PSU: Thermaltake 500W
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
I have tried the latest drivers, older drivers, reinstalling the OS, all connections to the card. Different settings, etc. I even lowered the settings within the game and the framerate is still low. I've updated the motherboard drivers as well.
Is there anything else I can try? Any idea what the problem might be?
