I'm running a single 7970 and have been trying to iron out some issues I've been having recently. At this point I'm thinking im getting microstutter, but I don't know how to properly identify it. In battlefield 3/4 I get 100+ fps constantly but lately it feels more like 30-40 at best and the gameplay is far from the smooth experience I'm used to. It does sometimes run smooth but in the past month it's been very hit and miss.

Cooling is fine, temps have always been around the same. Haven't done anything in ccc, Ive even uninstalled windows and installed a clean ccc. Haven't touched v sync and its one of the only things i will not do, ill take bed performance over input lag any day of the week.
