Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right section but thought it was the most relevent.

Anyway I seem to be getting some slight hesitation in game, just to note this is only in one game (fifa14) that I play, the other game (Batman) is fine with no hesitation what so ever. It's not enough to put me off playing but it is annoying.

My spec is:
Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2 mobo
AMD 8350 cpu
Saphhire R9 280x Toxic GPU
16gb 2400Mhz kingston hyperx RAM
Samsung 250gb 840 Evo SSD
Corsair H105 water cooler

So thing's I tried so far:
I changed the clock speed from stock to run at a constant 4Ghz to see if this would improve anything but it hasn't.

I've tried changing the memory speed from 2200Mhz down to 1333 Mhz (note the Asus mobo doesn't seem to support the 2400Mhz).

Game settings I've tried varying from max resolution 1920x1080 down to 800x600 and still made no difference, I also changed the quality from High down to Medium and it improved slightly but it was still noticeable.

I checked the FPS using Fraps and it stayed at an average of 60, alternating between 59-62.

I would have thought that my setup would have been capable enough to run it at High settings? All the drivers are upto date except the latest 14.3 beta driver for the GPU. Mobo is on bios version 2301.

The temps I have been getting in game were as follows:
CPU - 38 degrees
Vcore 1 - 50 degrees
Vcore 2 -45 degrees
GPU - 52 degrees

Any help much appreciated.

I was thinking for a second.. am I going to need to bust out a psychology book to find out why you're hesitating in games :D

Your spec is more than enough to play Fifa14, most definitely.

Dropping the memory down that much might have affected the timings, which could make things worse rather than better if they're unstable, If your board can't handle the 2400 it'll automatically(or should) assign 1866 or 2133 w/e it can do.

If by "hesitation" you mean tearing or something of that sort, judging by the fact you say you average 60FPS vertical sync is probably on, try it with it and without it on, also try it with AA/without.

I'd probably say it's nothing to do with your hardware, it's either something conflicting with the game(which could literally be thousands of things) or something simple like the game was coded by a chocolate covered monkey on a mountain and therefore is prone to running like dick, never played it, but Fifa is EA so ye..

EDIT: Also try reinstalling the game, clearing settings, etc. Try to rule out things, it screams driver issues but it might be worth going back to an older GPU driver and seeing if it's maybe a problem that's been brought in by accident
