|
 |
in a lot of games i get a tiny ammount of stuttering, its as if the game will be running perfectly at a high framerate but every so often it will skip a few frames and its really bugging me
it happens more in some games than others, the witcher and sins of a solar empire have it badly but in x3 its hardly noticable
also it doesnt seem to happen atall in some other games
i have ruled out the graphics card, hard drive, motherboard & processor because each of them has been changed since i originaly started having the problem
im thinking that now it either has to be ram or power supply but memtest didnt report any problems with the memory & i have no way to test my psu
here is my system
Windows Vista ultimate64
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 (also tried a Q6600)
Nvidia GTX295 (also tried a GTX280)
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX
Asus P5Q Deluxe (also tried a Abit IP35)
Corsair HX 620W Psu
500gig Maxtor SATA (recently installed after my old HDD gave up the ghost)
300gig Maxtor SATA
i have also tried it with and without a SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio installed to i know that the sound isnt a issue
i run it all at stock speeds, all my drivers have been updated on a regular basis and my temps seem to be fine
i run all my games at 1680 by 1050
any ideas?

Can you take a video of it happening ?
Anyway, maybe it's a software problem, have you done a clean reformat ? Install win7 clean and cross fingers. Don't install any drivers unless the absolutely necessary. No mobo drivers especially.

4gb is enough, doesn't justify hickups on your PC, which is a beast.
But maybe the mem is shitty (?). Can you borrow some from a friend ? Also, have you messed with your BIOS settings ? Is there a BIOS update available ?

Oh, those are good.
Very GOOD !!
I hate you.
P.S.: Not that it would fix your problem or anything, unless it's really mem-related. Because it's not performance-related.

someone on another forum that i use just suggested that maybe its the res that i play at
he said that maybe its causing some kind of bottle neck with my card and that trying a bigger monitor (higher res) might solve the problem

1680x1050 is a normal res, it cannot bottleneck the GTX295 !!!
And how will higher res resolve that ? It made no sense.

Just a thought, nice rig by the way , maybe a driver issue , you have seem to cover the other bases.....in my experience 90% of PC problems are software..good luck

It`s a DX problem which exists since ages. everybody has this problem, most don`t even notice.
So don`t bother searching.

All times are GMT + 1 Hour |
tried windows 7 and altho its a lot better the problem is still there, i also tried it with only the basics installed (direct x, graphics and sound drivers) but it was still there
maybe ill hold off a while then on the ram, my only other option would be the psu but i would have thought that if i can complete crysis and warhead with no problems then it isnt a power issue
i was under the impression that they were talking abotu the bios so maybe this could be the cause?
