Hello again friends,
Okay, so I know I have already stated something on this, but in the meantime (before a new card purchase) , I have to deal with this still very active tiny stutter. I recently tried my friend's DuckTales Remastered on my PC and it seems that even though it holds a complete 60 fps without movement, I still experience the strange micro stutter lag (if I am using this phrase properly, if not sorry). It's every few seconds and a side by side comparison to XBOX 360's version, shows that it is truly an issue, as the problem isn't present.
I'm starting to wonder if my GPU is messed up a bit or if it's a background service that persists to annoy me.
Any suggestions?
Is there anyone out there that has had this issue?
I retried a few methods: I tried messing with CCC's options, but it didn't get rid of the micro stutter.
I Put Dxtory on 60 fps limit with Wait for Available Buffer and Force CPU Processing
checked, it still didn't help.(4 processing threads)
I tried killing explorer and running from desktop, even killing CCC.
I tried using gamebooster and dxtory together (gameboosters options were set to kill
explorer,kill CCC, and launch from desktop); dxtory still worked but actually caused more
stop lag issues.
I disabled HIDs.
I just don't get it; it's so similar to what I experience in COD4:MW, but I know for sure windowed mode (1280x720 to 640 x480) didn't help this, as it may have for COD4 game. (Not sure though, size does seem to make it harder to see.) I also turned off AA, which made no difference.
I also tried keeping CCC on, but turning off Vsync and triple buffering, and then using DXtory simultaneously; absolutely no difference.
I think I should attempt to use a VGA monitor, what do you think?
I also learned that micro stutter is through two cards, which you may have already stated in this post; I don't have two cards, so what would I call this " every few seconds stop type lag"?
Also I did testing on Dead Island once again and apparently didn't do the right research from the start, because the only way to have a smooth experience in this game is to have the controller hooked up; why is this?
Which of these processes could I kill?
I appreciate all the help thus far.
I know I have diagnosed this as a GPU problem, but there doesn't seem to be a connection since some games with higher GPU requirements do not have this issue (MAX PAYNE 3 when properly set); this indicates to me that it is a program issue, but even with a re-boot and the install of the 64-bit OS, there is still an issue, and it is with older games even...
Could any of these services be turned off?
