Nvidia acknowledge Stutter problem!

If you are going to spend vast amounts on anything you should do your homework first. Its well known that single gpu's in general have the least problems, sli/crossfire introduces more problems and trifire/ quad gpu setups are only good for benchmark scores.
 
I may have experienced this issue once or twice in BF3 but it's not been a major problem. What I do have a problem with is massive amounts of texture shimmering in BF3 with my MSI GTX 680, I had some with my GTX 570 but loads more now, even after a fresh driver install and Driver Sweeper cleaning run. I guess a clean Windows install would solve it but I'd prefer not to go through the hassle.

The TDR issue affects both AMD and NVIDIA. Hundreds of threads with both cards having problems.

This is where the forum falls flat on it's ****!:(

It's a massive problem for 560 owners, bios flashing, upping voltages not using firefox, downclocking factory cards etc, with still no clear fix in sight, but yet again it turns into an AMD problem too when it's simply not the case.

AMD suffers nowhere near the amount Nvidia does at the moment on TDR's.

I am at work but I will link you to the many many TDR problems that BOTH cards suffer when I get home.

Just out of curiosity, what GPU do you currently have Tommy?

It is a little sad that some feel the need to blast one side or the other over driver issues. I thought we had agreed that BOTH sides have their problems a VERY long time ago. The fact that some feel the need to drag AMD into a Nvidia driver issue thread and vice-versa is a bit pathetic. Can't we all just hug some trees and get along?

I had zero problems on my MSI 560 tis.

Strange that it's a confirmed driver issue, must be present in some system configs only as I have NEVER EVER had ANY stutter issues with ANY driver release or ANY nVidia card.

Currently running GTX680/2600k and 301.34s without issue.

Same no issue at all I hope they don't fix it that then creates an issue for those that had no problems to start with.

Q/A at nvidia HQ have work to do! ;)
 
Gregster, are you telling me you don't know what I'm running?:)

I'm not scared to put the boot into either, the 7 series zero core basically doesn't work(I know 2 owners that it simply doesn't do anything), CrossFire from what I gather isn't up to much either with the 7 series either.

Much the same as myself with my 69's but I'm not ignorant(not aimed at you in the slightest bhavv:)) that others can have faults.
 
Zero core works fine, card works fine, AMD drivers are fine, card overclocks without getting hot and noisy, without thermal throttling and without stuttering in any game/benchmark.

Dunno what you lot are doing, but obviously something is wrong :p
 
@Gregster, general tdr issues hit both teams regularly, which your links show, most of them from 2010 but the 560TDR issue is in a league of it's own.

Point out the bios flashing for stability/downclocking in the 69 series to cure TDR's that's plaguing a series of cards.

There's a better link straight from AMD regarding TDR's:

http://forums.amd.com/game/messagev...=120896&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

Note that it also started back in 2009 and compare it with the 560 thread over at Nvidia.

TDR search from TPU:

http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=techpowerup.com&q=tdr

This is not a Nvidia bashing by any means, point out where I've bashed Nvidia and AMD in the thread.

Shouldn't folks be aware that there is a problem regarding the 6's, in case, you know, they want to buy one?

Quite disappointed tbph in your reaction mate.

Yep zero core simply does not work for me either.

@davebeast,

I've seen it not working myself first hand, so clearly there is a problem somewhere.
 
As I recall correctly Alan wake didn't work correctly with sli either but now we are both clutching at straws. This stutter problem is far more general than a specific game related problem. This seems to affect single gpu users and can affect all games. Big difference.
 
It seems on here that its ok to slander amd's drivers but when anything shows nvidia in a bad light driver wise it turns into bringing amd drivers down as usual.

All tommy did was post some information thats relevent to 6 series users. Theres just no need for this kind of reaction. Nvidia themselves know about the issue and are trying to fix it. Its probably not an easy fix or there would have been a fix released by now.

Nvidia drivers are not perfect and most likely never will be.
 
As someone said earlier if the issue is hard to replicate, it's hard to show nVidia's development team so that they can look at the code.

But as ManualG said it looks like they have recreated & identified it, probably only on certain hardware combo's this is showing up as I don't have this issue at all with my 680 and neither plenty of other 6series owners too I imagine.

Yes...I'm sure the purpose of this topic is trying to be informative and helpful :D

As for slandering AMD drivers, it's not so much about Nvidia fanboys alone doing it, but there are just as much AMD cards owners doing the same..particularly people with crossfire. I still remember people with 5970 and other crossfire setup couldn't get their problems resolve no matter what they try, and people helpful calling them noobs that don't know what they are doing and insisting crossfire doesn't have issues...
