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

OMG you did not apply full screen? x.x

Lol glad to know its fixed, but I'm laughing so hard (no offense!) xD

I fixed it, MeteorsRaining was right, it wasn't my GPU. I had to just exit and apply full-screen mode. That issue drove me nuts.

I'll definately do that, its not that it'll surely solve the issue, but the fact that you have faster boot and loading time is a huge improvement itself, if you can, get yourself one :)

have you tried adaptive vsync?


Tried that as well, no luck.

When the textures are loaded for the first time in VRAM/ Cache, they're bound to take up lots of power and hence the game does stutter on every texture setting maxed out, the bandwidth is just not fast enough to make it unnoticable. Its pretty normal.

Unigine score is great, the FPS is great, everything seems fine, temps are good, you DO NOT have a faulty card for sure.

Its even better you don't have screen tearing (Vsync is to not allow screen tearing by freezing the GPU until either the frame refresh time is achieved, or it doesn't allow the screen to be refreshed if the scene isn't drawn out completely by the GPU, hence lower but stable FPS).

Vsync eliminates screen tearing, and since you don't have that issue Vsync off will get you better FPS. Its good on that dept as well.

I'm starting to think its not really an issue on the GPU side, maybe you're over-estimating this beast?

I don't think I'm over-estimating. It's just the fact that it does perform so well that I can't understand how is it stuttering at some points, even if it's for a split second. Do you think it may be my old hard drive? Should I upgrade to a SSD?

Could you possibly have a faulty video card? How old is the video card?


Around a week old.
