FPS Stutter..

Hi,

On most game I play I get solid FPS but every minute or so I get a slight stutter in the frames, it only lasts a second but it's very annoying when Ive spent over 300 quid on a graphics card, I don't expect that to happen. For example when I play DayZ or Rust I get a solid 60FPS but every minute or so it'll dip to about 40 and cause a little jitter or lag spike, that's probably the best way to explain it, apart from that it runs brilliantly.

How can I stop this? Is there a setting in CCC I can change? Or any other setting somewhere?

I have a 7970 GPU so it's a very good card which should run everything fine.

I'm desperate for some help as I can't seem to fix it and it's so annoying.

Appreciate any feedback, thanks.
 
I remember using some mods in Arma2 to reduce stutter. The problem here is to load new textures from slow memory or even disk into fast GPU memory, I think.
There are settings to draw more frames in a buffer ahead IIRC.
 
It's with most games, not just Arma etc. I have it on Borderlands 2, at times I'm getting over 100 FPS on Ultra but it stutters every minute or so which is really annoying!

What do you think might be causing this?
 
DayZ and rust are alpha games so I would expect issues. I know DayZ had some pretty bad lag recently as I was playing it myself.

Not sure about the other games I'm afraid.
 
Another example is on Borderlands 2 I get over 100 FPS at times but every minute or so I'll get a stutter or lag spike which will drop it to around 60 but cause the screen to freeze for like a millisecond.
 
Could be a cpu issue, dayz and arma that it's derived from are notoriously cpu bound games. Even with the latest generation chips.
 
idk if a hyperthreaded cpu would help in those games,even so that cpu shouldn't be bottlenecked with a single 7970

tried raising the power control slider to 20%

and maybe one/two clicks more cpu memory controller voltage? cpu/vtt

I'm scared to mess about with the GPU and CPU settings as I've never done anything like that before, is it easy to do and safe?

I'll look in to that Setter.
 
if its cpu then messing with gpu wont fix anything so id try cpu first,if your cpu is stock then a slight oc would help
 
if it was me i would open the task manager to see the cpu usage, then keep it open , launch and play the game and after you get a few lag spikes go back to the task manager and see if your core got close to topping out or if it did top out then try an overclock.
I seriously doubt it would be your ram as i'm sure you have 8gb.
 
I had a problem with games stuttering, i had an SSD drive for a while and since getting that i forget to defrag my mechanical drive with all my games on, since windows allway so quick with the SSD. Since i dont know ur spec , i guess you could need to defrag drive if it mechanical.
 
I use the below as startup options on Dayz SA
-nosplash -noPause -cpuCount=8 -maxMem =8192 -high -nologs

Obviously your CPU count will need to be 4 and maxmem a useable figure (depending on you ram)

But try that and see where you go, I tend to get a fairly decent 60fps in Dayz now with the odd dip to 40.

-nologs makes a good difference IMHO
