Stuttery laggy enigma

extrememachine · 26 Jun 2015 at 13:11

For some of my games to run smoothly I have to select a lower resolution and then higher one regardless of the frames displayed on screen.
For instance in crysis 2 I launched it at 4k it was displaying like 100fps but was suttery glitch and laggy, so I chose 1600p and it ran smooth as butter so I went back to 4k and NOW it is as smooth as ever.
Explanation??

3 graphics cards?

Microstutter by the sounds of it.

Also i remember someone else in the forum having issues with crysis 2 and high resolution he needed to launch into a different res and then back for it to work smoothly. Though that may not be the case here if it also happens in other games.

Tomb raider will run like butt at 4k with nvidia if you have hair works on just FYI in case that's another of your game choices

EDIT : Is the system in your signature up to date?

We talking about the PC in sig? Could be some SLI related driver issues possibly?

Quite possible that it's just issues with 3 cards. Adding more than 1 card causes a few hiccups and adding more than 2 well as a rule of thumb it's all downhill from there

Sli has no issue on other games and gta5 runs fine unless I put it at 4k.
Only issues with few.

I'm pretty sure you can turn down the amount of AA AMD hairworks uses in Tomb Raider so it doesn't hit performance as hard and it does not change the way it looks at all.
