Hey again, dudes!
I need some help trying to pin down this micro stuttery annoyance i've been dealing with lately.
Specs:
intel core i7 4790k non oc'd.
8 gb (2x4gb) crucial baliistix sport ddr3 1600 ram
gigabyte z97x gaming 7 mobo
gigabyte gtx 970 windforce (non g1 edition) oc'd to 1400 mhz
evga supernova 750 watt g2 gold 80+
and for storage i'm just running on various ssd's like the toshiba q series and intel 530 series.
Anyway, I've noticed some odd behavior with stuttering. In World of Warcraft i get some strange occurances:
1) ~.5 second stutter when i tab or click on other players, nps, objects etc. This doesn't happen every single time, but if i had to guess it would be around 40% of the time, so it's starting to get rather annoying.
2) ~.5 second stutter between zones ( so like, on flight paths crossing between zones, or just travel in general)
3) my authentification "success" screen takes ~20 seconds to complete from time to time. Other times it runs straight through the process with little to no delay at all.
4) ~.5 second stutter when world obectives are completed (battleground flag capures, achievement unlocks, etc)
I'm in a pretty high-end raiding guild, so while this may not seem like a huge deal, it's enough to throw me off sometimes and will likely affect my performance in raids. I'd like to get this sorted before the season starts.
Here's what i've tried so far:
1) Complete fresh install of the game.
2) Checked drivers (all are current)
3) Uninstalled all add-ons (i run rather light anyway, but i did this just to make sure)
4) tried running the game without any oc's.
5) disabled security software
6) deleted cache/wtf folders
7) tried game with/without vsync (no change either way)
8) tested internet usage during gaming and speed. (everything is right where it should be)
9) scanned for viruses/malware.(completely clean)
I'm running the game in full screen mode. Someone suggested switching to windowed mode, then switching back helped their situation, but i really don't see how that would affect me, though i'll probably try it tonight. I've done a few searches to see if anyone else with my gpu/similar set up is having this issues, and while some people complained of micro stuttering in games, most of those guys have sli configs and are playing different games. Is there other stuff i'm missing here? Anyone else been having these issues? I've talked to a few other people i know who play, and they claim to have no issues, but that's likely anecdotal.
I should mention that i haven't noticed these stuttering issues in other games outside of very, very rare occurances, which leads me to believe that wow just isn't optimized for high-ish end systems, but i refuse to believe that there isn't a fix. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
