Stuttering with most games using 460 OC and Windows 7
Hello, I have Windows 7 64bits and I have a problem with games that I can play with more than enough frames/second (40 or 50) but stuttering (or jagging, or choppy, I don´t know really the difference) animations that gives the impresion that I have only 17pfs. It happend with most games (not all), and the problem is more visible in some of them.

My system:
- Asus P6X58D-E mobo
- Intel core i7 930@2.80 Ghz (not overclocked) + Noctua cooling (no temperature problem)
- 6gb of DDR1600 (configured manually the speed in the BIOs, because automatically detect it like DDR1060)
- Gigabyte GTX 460 OC
- Realteck integrated soundcard that I have disabled in the BIOS, and uninstalled drivers in Windows7 to test, but solves nothing.
- Nvidia 3d vision + samsung 2233rz monitor. I have unplug the usb and unisntalled the 3d vision drivers, but solves nothing.
- A good quality 550v PSU. I think it is not a lot, but more than enough for what I have, and I suppose it is not a problem.


I have uninstalled all Nvidia drivers, reboot and enter in safe mode using F8, and used driver sweeper to clean all rest of Nvidia and Realtek drivers, reboot and enter Windows7 normally and installed last Nvidia WHQL divers (258.96) without stereo drivers, and it is still the same problem, a lot of stuttering.

No sense why having a lot of frames/second I have so bad smooth animations. I have tested with Arma 2 - Operation Arrowhead (with a lot of stuttering) and Nvidia control panel, changing Vertical sync on/off, threaded optimization on/off, triple buffering, but nothing changes. I have change all possible graphical things into the game that can cause low performance, but always stuttering. My system is recent and no virus or any strange things, of curse last directx, and some game working without problems. What happend?

- Dragon Age Origins: seem to works without problems.
- Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead: with 50fps I have a lot of stuttering. Nearly Unplayable.
- Bad Company 2: playable, but some stuttering.
- Assassin Creed 2: very noticeable stuttering. Acording with framerate (45-55 pfs) I would have perfect animations, but seem to be 18/20 fps. I reduce resolution, graphic effects, etc and win also more pfs, but still stuttering animations.
- Divinity II Ego Draconis: terrible stuttering. Totally umplayable.
- GTA EFLC: noticeable stuttering. Playable, but noticeable.
- Mount&Blade Warband: perfect, no problem.
- Trine v1.08: perfect.

Is a driver problem that affect all the GTX460 owners and be solved in next drivers? or there is something wrong here?

You really do [i]need[/i] to overclock your cpu. Most of the games you're having issue with are either high cpu usage or poor gpu utilization, or even a combo of both (and most aren't multi-threaded enough to take full advantage of all of your cores & threads available). DAO is a little more gpu heavy, and Trine will put a ridiculous workout on your gfx card, so they're not as effected as much by your slower cpu speed. A relatively easy OC, to say 3.6GHz, will make a huge difference in ACII, Bad Company 2, GTA, and ARMA (ARMA can be brutal on any setup if you start trying for the higher settings). You've already got the hardware, cooler, etc., you just need to do the OC.

You might genuinely be having some issues with your 460, but at least try the (stable) OC long enough to benchmark some of your trouble games.

I have disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS of my mobo, and now stuttering of Arma2 has dissapear and I can play smooth. No difference in the other games.

My PC is worse than yours and I can play all those games without problem but I had to disable hyper threading and power boost or my pc crashed 20 minutes after starting the game

i would suspect your power supply is not up to the task. try heavy stress testing your pc- do cpu and gpu max testing at the same time and log you temps. also test your ram to make sure its all functioning properly.

System:

Intel I7 920 overclocked to 4ghz

Asus Rampage Extreme II

2 Ge-force 480 in SLI

GTX 295 PhysX Card

12gb ddr3 2000mhz ram

Intel SSD in RAID 0

BR RW

1000w Sony surround sound

NVIDIA 3D Vision



3d displays tested:



Mitsubishi 65" DLP 3d HDTV (good old 1080p checkerboard since 2007!!!)

Panasonic VT25 (nice 2d but I returned it due to cross talk)

Acer H5360 720p on 130" screen (the best 3d)

23" Acer LCD monitor (horrible cross talk- sold it)

Samsung 65D8000
