Stuttering?

[ScottytooHotty]

Hi All,

I have a pretty beefy PC, 3570k Oc'd to 4.4ghz gtx780 16 gb ram, you get the idea but for some reason games tend to stutter quite a bit, this also happens in windows if I move something from one of my screens to the other, I have one dell ultrasharp that is 1680x1050 60 hz 16:10 and one Iiyama 1920x1080 120hz 16:9, could the fact that the screens are so different be causing this?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

So I have borrowed a different monitor that is the same resolution as my main monitor and I still get the same problem, it almost looks like the frame rate is dropping dramatically but I have tested it and it stays the same.

Any help with this appreciated.

I'm guessing the Iiyama, but which monitor do you game on?

Yeah I game on the Iiyama

I was getting stuttering in games recently and what fixed it for me was installing

VCRedist 2012
www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30679

I also repaired my install of VCRedist 2008 and 2013 by running the installers and clicking repair.

2008

2013

I didn't have VCRedist 2012 installed and after installing it my stuttering in games stopped. But i'm not sure if it was installing it that fixed it, or if repairing the 2008 and 2013 versions is what fixed it, or even if it was a combination of all 3
Anyway, it was one or all three of those things, so give them all a try.

I get it myself on occasion, I have a LG Flatron W2234S which also has res of 1650 x 1080 @ 60Hz, even though I have the twins in my rig it still does it, and to say between the 2 of them there isn't enough grunt to do it is not even possible where I get the stuttering, I get it when playing videos through MediaPlayer, BS Player Pro also nets the same result, but I don't get this in games. I have narrowed it down to overclocking, if I drop to default, it doesn't do it so to me that tells me that the CPU and GPU aren't in sync properly so need to really up the PCI-E bandwidth so as then it should eliminate the stutter, but doing so then creates a whole host of other issues so am reluctant to do so.

My solution at moment is through AI suite and to setup the TURBO app thing in there to drop the CPU to default when any video player loads up, I not sure what software you got for your motherboard if it anything like Asus's AI suite, either way try dropping the overclock and trying it without it and you will probably see the stuttering drop.

***EDIT***

I haven't been getting this in Windows 10 (Build 9879)
