110 Hertz refresh rate or higher causes minuscule stutter.

[DrowningMoose]

After about 3 months of suffering from annoying stuttering and about 2 months of attempting to fix the stutter with new components and such, I finally set my refresh rate down to 100hz and found that the stutter has disappeared. I have a two monitor set up with an Acer GD235HZ being my main display. This monitor has a refresh rate of up to 120hz which is what I had it set on all this time until recently. QUESTION: All I would like to know is if the cause of the stutter is coming from the DVI cable or the monitor. I am also 100% certain that it's not any of the hardware in my ccomputer because it has all been replaced in the process of fixing the stutter.

what are your pc specs?

what are your pc specs?

Intel i5 3570k
Corsair H80i
MSI Z77A-G45
Gaming G. Skill Ripjaws X 16Gb
EVGA GTX 760
CorsairHX750
WD 1TB HDD
Intel 80 GB 335 series SSD
Toshiba 128 Gb SSD
Displays: ASUS VS238 Acer GD235HZ
There is nothing wrong with any of these components. They have had no effect to the cause of my stuttering and I have done everything I can with the geforce drivers.

Have you checked CPU, ram and GPU usages? And if so, and your GPU is 100% its down to you not getting enough fps for the monitor...
Basically as you have a 144hz refresh rate, you aren't giving it enough frames to show and is therefore stuck displaying 1 frame while it waits for the GPU to give it another one to show.. So I think your only option is to either buy a beefier GPU setup or reduce your refresh rate to 60

Well I recently switched from a 780 to this 760 to see if that would fix the stutter in CSGO, but that did not help and I am getting enough fps usually around 200 in CSGO which is where I notice most of my stutter. My ram and cpu have been replaced fixing nothing but the only thing I haven't replaced is the mobo.

that wouldnt fix it... if anything, the 780 to 760 is a downgrade and would only increase the problem, have you tried the pc on another monitor?

yes Ive tried it on my other monitor that only has a 60 hertz refresh rate and there is no stutter, but like Ive stated before at 100 hertz on my Acer I get no stutter at all.

well the monitor probably is faulty, i would recommend RMA'ing if you can

Alright I will try that thanks for your help.
