Was hoping microstutter was a thing of the past too. i7 might alleviate some issues with ms and it seems to be a great platform for multigpu. Playing with vsync on and triple buffering might be the way to go.

Don't see how a cpu can help with microstutter in a multi gpu setup.

Isnt the problem that when you have 2 gpus rendering seperate frames you can always get ms?

So GPU1 renders the first frame at say t+0, shortly after GPU2 renders frame 2 at say T+1, then we have a long wait as both render the next frames. GPU1 then renders the third frame at say T+10, GPU2 renders the fourth frame at say T+12.

I know the above is a great simplification but isnt ms all about the problem of alternate rendered frames being shown very close together so you get a very uneven frame rate distribution?
 
dam you tax man

270 Euros = 244.865467 British pounds

with 17.5% vat: £287.87
with 15% vat: £281.75

so yeah, your about as close as can be i think

I7 has a tonne of bandwidth so hypothetically speaking, choke points should be minimalised. And with vsync you get a smooth output if it's +60fps and with triple buffering it will spit out the right frame. All hypothetical though since I can't test it myself, yet... :cool:
 
1gig is well and trully enough for 1920x1200 anything over that and you may run into issues.

the only game that is the exception GTA. and it runs like crap anyway so who cares lol
