7950, is terrible

It's becoming increasingly clear you know nothing about these CPU's, despite this, I believe you now, less than I did before. Not only are you making claims that fly in the face of all known facts, you are becoming increasingly incoherent with your claims as this goes on.

This is going no where...

Maybe explain how it works is the best way. We all learnt somewhere

@ gregster. yeah, 'perhaps' that ^^^ might have helped

Hi again. My CPU is a IB 3770K oc'ed to 4.8Ghz with HT enabled. My RAM is DDR3 2.4Ghz 8GB XMP. The sound stuttering is exclusively when playing music and videos - both in browser and through media player. Gaming audio is perfect.

EDIT: I use the 'High Definition Audio Driver' via an HDMI cable.

It might be a good idea to make a new thread about that. its different to the original problem you had so a new thread with a new title would grab fresh attention.

I was thinking the same. :

The 12.3's work afaik with no problems, I don't use HDMI for audio, but I have read about the issue and it's pretty poor it's not been properly fixed yet as they had working ones in the 12.3's.

Get 12.3 drivers, run it to unpack the files, either just uninstal the HDMI drivers from the AMD installer and just run the 12.3's HDMI package, or:

***W7 only***

Cut the 12.3 HDMI drivers from the package and swap them with the 13.1 HDMI package after unpacking to your C drive, uninstall AMD drivers/caps-restart.

Use AMD's new AMD Uninstall Utiity as long as your not using W8-restart.

Goto where you unpacked the AMD driver and run setup>hopefully, working HDMI.

On failing that, if it's for an amp, I also read that a splitter running between the amp and screen, forces the audio to kick in as it should.

Might help you, as I said, I don't use HDMI.

Well tbf humbug, computer hardware to me is about the same as to what logic is to religion, I know pretty much nothing about any of it. I can notice when the fps starts to drop into the low thirties yes, but otherwise it's all the same to me. I know what low thirties feel like and my Fx-4100 never had that feeling from my memories a few months ago of Skyrim on the said Fx-4100, maybe it never fell into those frames, or maybe the stuttering is clouding my memory.

The only game so far, that I've noticed an actual significant FPS (i.e not microstutter) improvement is Crysis, otherwise all the upgrade has done is pretty much removed microstutter from a few games in my eyes, which to me is well worth it as I can't stand microstutter.

I'd rather play a game at a consistent 20fps than a game at 60 fps with stutters.

Perhaps you can tell the fps of a game by looking at it, whereas I can't and neither can the average person so...

The fps improvements aren't the worthwhile improvement from the new CPU as far as I'm concerned, that's the point I've been trying to put across, hence why I didn't even know the Fx has less raw power than the 3570k, as the only thing I've noticed is the stuttering gone, which as you pointed out earlier is due to bottlenecks.

No need whatsoever to be rude just because I don't know what a 'Thuban' or a '1090T' is or whatever.
