in a lot of games i get a tiny ammount of stuttering, its as if the game will be running perfectly at a high framerate but every so often it will skip a few frames and its really bugging me
it happens more in some games than others, the witcher and sins of a solar empire have it badly but in x3 its hardly noticable

also it doesnt seem to happen atall in some other games

i have ruled out the graphics card, hard drive, motherboard & processor because each of them has been changed since i originaly started having the problem

im thinking that now it either has to be ram or power supply but memtest didnt report any problems with the memory & i have no way to test my psu

here is my system

Windows Vista ultimate64
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 (also tried a Q6600)
Nvidia GTX295 (also tried a GTX280)
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX
Asus P5Q Deluxe (also tried a Abit IP35)
Corsair HX 620W Psu
500gig Maxtor SATA (recently installed after my old HDD gave up the ghost)
300gig Maxtor SATA

i have also tried it with and without a SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio installed so i know that the sound isnt a issue

i run it all at stock speeds, all my drivers have been updated on a regular basis and my temps seem to be fine

i run all my games at 1680 by 1050

any ideas? :confused:
 
res slightly to small maybe bottleneck of cpu for that card.

overclock cpu or try bigger monitor if can get hold of one.
 
thanks :) ill read some reviews on them
do you think that running it on my 1080p bravia might be a good way to test this theory out before i spend some cash?
