Over this month i've replaced almost the entirety of my rig with new components to fix a problem, including complete fresh installs and everything.

I got a new motherboard/cpu combo, same cpu make but better motherboard, i added a second gcard and made that the main one instead, disabling sli, i replaced the RAM, i installed windows onto a new faster SSD and i'm STILL having issues with this rig.

95% of games just stutter and jerk when i move the camera left/right, doesnt matter if its vsync, no vsync, gsync, 60hz, 120hz, i play 60hz vsync and it just does it so many times over and over and over.

walking left/right is fine but looking left/right causes issues.

I used most of the older components to rebuild up a second pc with a 680 instead and theres NO Issues on that rig, and that makes absoloutely no sense.

This issue is driving me up the bend, it doesnt matter waht i do, what drivers i sell waht i do what settings. Nothing fixes this issue. It's making my phyiscally ill trying to fix this poxxy thing and i wouldnt bother if i didnt rely on it for work.

i7 4790k @ 4.5ghz, akasa venom cooler, 16gb hyper x ram, asus formula vii motherboard, x2 970 msi, 750w psu, 1 250gb hdd, 1 250gb ssd, 1 500gb ssd.

There is literally, nothing i can pinpoint the problem to but its just there, on every game like clockwork. Note that its only when i control the camera, NEVER when im strafing.

Please can anyone help.
 
VRAM issue with the 970s? What resolution are you gaming at and have you tried running at a lower setting?

Its not fps related, its not the vram. This is every game regardless of settings, resolution, etc.
But i game on 1080p

It's a problem somewhere and its causing games to be unplayable.

I'm pretty much very close to just stripping it, selling the parts off and just using a ****** crap computer and not have a hobby anymore, months ive been having issues.

Maybe the first graphics card has gone faulty? have you tried both cards on there own?

Yep, both old and new, the issue still persists.

I literally have no idea what can be causing it, its either the RAM, psu or the cpu heatsink.

I highly doubt its the heatsink, i highly doubt its the ram either as i tried extras
and no idea on the psu but its stronger than my otehr one.

Have you tried your old 680 in your new PC to see if its the GFXs? Also, have you tried a different monitor, sounds odd but it might be your GSync faulty? Lastly, are you able to capture this to show us? Using a mobile phone to capture it will be best as software might hide the issue.

Does it also happen when using the mouse to move rather then the pad? Are you using SteamPlay?

My gsync is faulty, i dont use it, however it happens on every monitor.

When i use my 680 in my better rig (well better in terms of specs not performance it seems) it still happens. Im not able to capture it due to the nature of framerates and howt hings are recorded.

It happens on mouse but gets covered up a bit, not enough to warrant smooth gameplay.

i dont use any external things and the only peripherals attached are a mechanical keyboard, mouse, power, lan and cables into monitors.

I am in the process of sending a few components back for a refund, im not able to test the psu but i tested the ram and the issue still existed.
No componenets show any faults on any tests.
 
What is wrong with your Gsync? The PSU can't be ruled out I guess at this point. You are installing a proper Legal version of windows ain't you? Have heard of dodgy ones causing issues before.
 
Well, if it isn't hardware... what's running on the machine at same time as games, anything else running in background, game streaming software etc.. malware? drivers corrupt? tried reinstalling gamepad drivers, malwarebytes scan, just pulling at straws here

My first thought was reinstalling windows will likely fix it, but he says hes already done that .

Got my legal copy of windows 7 home upgraded to 10, its an OEM but tahts fine.

I dont have anything running in the background, except obviously steam.

The thing is, i was getting all these issues with my old motherboard and cpu, so i replaced those two, and i still got issues on my main one (i obviously did afresh install)

But when i installed those components onto my guest rig they werent there, so one by one i replaced the parts in that guest rig with my main rig, ram, gcards, harddrives and the issue still woudlnt show. But it still happened on my main one.

So i replaced some ,parts of the old one into this one and the issue was still there. The only thing i didnt try was the psu in the guest rig but i have had a 970 run int he guest rig with a 2600 cpu and it was fine aswell.

So i'm at a stump, im gonna do a fresh install of windows again and when i get the refund from the new processor that im gonna send back i'll pcik up a good 1000w psu and see if that helps.

The only thing i havent tried is the CPU Heatsink, but yknow, i highly doubt 2 fans on a heatsink isr eally gonna do that, its an Akasa venom, (And yea, i have cool temps all around so no worries there :) )
