Can anyone help me with my micro-stuttering and poor performance on my gtx 970?

Zaathion · Feb 2, 2015

As the title states. I also feel as if this could be my processor or ram but im not sure. In cs:go and Insurgency I get frame stutter but in WoW I just get bad performance and no frame stutter. Any help would be wonderful.

have you updgraded from previous AMD GPU? or is this your first GPU?

Zaathion · Feb 3, 2015

Yes I upgraded from a r7 260x. Big upgrade. I have uninstalled those drivers now but I did not do it before I put in the 970 I did it after. I also have reinstalled windows 8.1 many times.

iamlegend · Feb 3, 2015

You have to used DDU when reinstalling the drivers. There is a guide for fresh install of the drivers here in tom just search it "laymens guide blahblahblah" or search in youtube on how to use DDU.

iamlegend :

DDU when reinstalling? DDU means display driver UNinstaller right? and I think I found my problem. When i get the stutters my disk usage goes up to like 1-4% then when im not stuttering its at 0%

iamlegend · Feb 3, 2015

Yes that`s it. So you HDD/SDD has a problem.

Zaathion · Feb 3, 2015

iamlegend :

Change of plans. That was not it. It did it at 0% usage D: . I have no clue what it is.

iamlegend · Feb 4, 2015

provide your whole system specs.

iamlegend · Feb 4, 2015

So have you done the fresh re install of Nvidia drivers?

Zaathion · Feb 4, 2015

iamlegend :

Yes I have even went back to previous drivers.

iamlegend · Feb 4, 2015

Did you used the DDU? Which I suggested earlier?

0nard00 · Feb 4, 2015

If all else fails, best return the card asap. This is either a driver issue, or the card itself. Same happened with me when I bought a 7870. Doubt that that's a bottleneck somewhere in the system.
Try using DDU in safe boot.

Zaathion · Feb 4, 2015

iamlegend :

Yes I did. One thing I noticed was kinda weird when I went to use DDU it gave me the option to uninstall AMD drivers. Could it be that AMD is still on my system somewhere?

iamlegend · Feb 4, 2015

Yes, that it the main cause that your system is failing. Do you know how to use the DDU? As I said earlier, search on youtube on how to use it, or search it in toms.

You will also be needing to fix your system registry after wiping out the old drivers.

How old are you btw?

Zaathion · Feb 4, 2015

iamlegend :

15. Just built my first PC at Christmas so sorry if I come off as a noob.

iamlegend · Feb 4, 2015

Because it seems that you are not following the instructions that i give. Ok go on and try to wipe your drivers using DDU.

jezz

1. Download DDU (google it)
2. Run DDU in safe mode
3. Download CC cleaner
4. Fix system registry
5. Wipe your A**
6. Have fun

Zaathion · Feb 4, 2015

iamlegend :

I apologize for being a jackass aswell. I did the following steps except Fix system registry. How does one fix system registry?

iamlegend · Feb 4, 2015

Run cc cleaner, under registry options, click fix.

Zaathion · Feb 5, 2015

iamlegend :

I picked the solution a bit to soon. I am still getting it. I think it may be my CPU considering the games I play are cpu intensive.

iamlegend · Feb 5, 2015

Nopenopenope, your CPU can handle pretty anything you throw at it when gaming.

Monitor your CPU usage, do you know how to use the MSI afterburner?
And what settings are you running when playing CSgo?

Zaathion · Feb 5, 2015

iamlegend :

Yeah I know how to use afterburner. I think. You look at cpu0 usage right cause its all the cpu's. Right? I may need a refresh. Also I have a OC on my gpu im going to take it off and see what happens.
UPDATE: Without the oc the stuttering was worse

iamlegend · Feb 5, 2015

What the hell is happening.

OK do this,

Run a benchmark, e.g. unengine valley
Open the afterburner and set to monitor CPU (usage & Temps), GPU (usage and temps, core clocks and mem clocks, voltage).

Compare the monitored voltage reading and compare it to what you have set in the MSI afterburner.

Can anyone help me with my micro-stuttering and poor performance on my gtx 970?
