Do you get Stutter and do you do any of the following.

As in the title, Do you get Stutter and do you do any of the following.

I just got asked about this in another thread and I suspect there is more to it than which brand of cards you use.

For a bit of fun could you answer the following questions at the bottom of this post so we can see if there are any trends appearing.

Please do not debate about Mantle or DX12 as this is about stutter in general and not API's.

This is not an AMD v NVidia thing either so no debates and arguments about brands either please.

Please be honest with your answers as this is not about brand loyaly.

Severity of stuttering usually depends on the game, most likely to drivers?

Silent_Scone · 20 Jun 2015 at 13:11

For the sake of any results generated from this remember if you are running at or above the SPD programming (XMP) then you are in fact overclocking your memory. Not overclocking your memory would imply you are running at stock speeds from JEDEC. For example X79 1600Mhz, X99 2133mhz. I refuse to believe there are many people in here who buy binned overclocked memory kits and run them at default SPD lol

Very little stutter based on game, driver and setting. For example GTA5 had some stutter on 15.4, but 15.5 fixed that for me.

Do you have any additional information or comments you wish to add
I value system stability and silence over raw performance, hence my choice on a conservative overclock and not tinkering with the graphics cards.
In the past with Xfire I never noticed much stutter with Dual FirePro cards, although with the older 4870X2, 2900GT's and NV 7950GX2 it was terrible.
