Hi everyone, I have been having a problem with stuttering in games.

laloadv · Sep 8, 2014

Hello, I noticed that most of my games stutter. I messed around with the Nvidia control panel but it didn't help that much. The weird thing is that if I play without Vsync and the frames never drop below the 60 mark it still stutters, for a split second. I really need your help with this one.

GPU: GTX 780 TI WIndforce edition.

CP: I7-4790K.

PSU: Seasonic 650w.

Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero VII

Should I go for the latest one?

you should always go for the latest driver ..but never install a driver in its beta state .. some drivers are just minor updates to the other so always check the changelog to see if its worth updating.. remember to chose the answer for the question

It did help, but there is this weird choppy feeling when I turn the camera 360 degrees at some places. Other places are smooth as butter, is this a monitor issue?

Anyone?

I don't know what your issue is ,but I got a new sapphire card to replace a older card and it did this shuddering weather it was the same as you I don't know I fooled with it for about 4 months and got another card and swapped them out and it had no issues so I assume the sapphire card was faulty in some way [all cards were amd] so after you have tweaked it and made adjustments and tried out different drivers and the issue is still there it may just be the card it self

no i dont think the monitor would have been the cause of the issue.. the small stuters can just mean your disk needs defragging or your pc has alot of programs installed .. there can be multiple reasons for the small stuttering now.. you can if you dont mind do a fresh windows installation ..that would certainly do you alot of favor in games..

Thanks for your advise, I will reinstall Windows. The hard drive is over 3 years and it has been terribly slow, and crashing a lot. Do you think this may be it?

yes it could be really fragmented as i said before.. you should defrag it and then reinstall windows and if the drive still crashes then replace as soon as possible.. if you have the budget i would suggest replacing it with a ssd as they are faster than hdd and would give considerably faster performance in games ..hope i helped you out

When I defrag it, it doesn't fully defrag it.

jbrown156 · Sep 9, 2014

it should completely defrag you hard disk and restart your computer and finish the process.. how did you defrag the hdd ? did you use a program or did you use cmd ?

junkeymonkey · Sep 9, 2014

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

check your event viewer for disk errors

try data life guard for wd drives or seatool for Seagate

I defraged it through 'my computer'.

jbrown156 · Sep 9, 2014

laloadv :

you can use one of the programs listed by the other user or you can use a program called advance system care from iobit .. it does way more than deefragging your hdd it cleans registry finds security vulnerabilties and even free up ram for faster gameplay.. it has feature used by many gamers called gamebooster which works magic.. try using that to defrag and speed up back your computer

Didn't work unfortunately. Do you think I should reinstall Windows?

junkeymonkey · Sep 9, 2014

did you check the drive in some way as I posted above ?? if its a drive issue its silly to reinstall windows back to it ??

laloadv · Sep 9, 2014

junkeymonkey :

I did check the event log, nothing. I will try one of the programs you mentioned.

junkeymonkey · Sep 9, 2014

if the defrag fails it should show in it with a error code

I don't know what windows your using ??

The defrag was successful, Internet is way faster. But, the game still feels choppy when moving the camera. Using Win8.1

i dont see what could be cvausing the stutter after defragging.. you can try the windows installation and see

junkeymonkey · Sep 9, 2014

not to say its whats going on here but as I posted above I had this with a sapphire card and it ended up being the card due to the old one worked fine it replaced and the new card that replaced it worked fine

some times you just get a bad card

do you got a backup card to try ??
