I have just been doing some messing around with BF3 and not been overly happy with microstutter (I am hyper sensitive to these things) with my two Titans. I did some messing around with the NCP and had a play with V-sync whilst playing BF3. It seriously makes a big difference and I didn't notice any input lag.
I am curious to know if I am alone in spotting this and if anyone has a way of eliminating it?
If you want to know if you have any Microstutter, download Fraps from here:
http://www.fraps.com/download.php
Under the tab 99FPS, tick the box that has 'Frametimes' and in the box at the bottom which says 'Stop benchmark after []" place how ever long you want to do the test for. I usualy do a 5 min bench but 2 mins will be enough to show if you have any microstutter.
Once that test is complete, you will see the frames come back in the corner. Stop the game and download this little program called 'fraps bench viewer' from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/frafsbenchview/
Your bench results are generaly saved in C:\Fraps\Benchmarks and look for the bigger sized files. All you then do is drag and drop the bigger file to the fraps bench viewer program and you can then save that as an image by clicking the second tab which asks to 'save chart as image'
I would be very interested to see some results for certain systems.
Here is mine after messing around with V-Sync in BF3 and swapping to one card. Very smooth and very pleased with the results. These tests were at 1920x1080
A couple of stutters in Hitman but nothing to whinge about. Generaly pretty smooth. All the following tests were at 5760x1080.
Again with Sleeping Dogs, Very smooth with just the one noticable spike.
FarCry 3 has been the pain in my side since release and when Nvidia released the 313.95 drivers, it was smooth as a babys bum but even when I switched from 680's to Titans, the more powerful cards struggle to keep this game smooth and this is one of those games that seriously shows the micro stutter. I know it isn't the game now because Nvidia released those 313.95 drivers and if it was smooth as silk in that, it should be for later drivers. Sadly not the case.
Crysis 3 is just horrid as well. Even when I get flying frames per second, it still doesn't feel smooth.
Settings maxed
AA toned down a little
As you can see, no problems at all with Tomb Raider. Very smooth.
These are just a couple of tests and most are fine but some of these AAA Titles are shocking.
Like I said, I am interested in what you guys results are and if anyone else is getting/seeing microstutter. No fanboys, just good ol fashioned honesty
