Its almost always a program running in the backround thats a RAM hog that cause this problem, most common solution is to find that offending program and terminate it and test it.Īlot of games HATE Mc Norton for some reason. If you can get MEMTEST and run a test on the RAM sticks and RAM slots in your system, faulty RAM causes stutter as the CPU then has to re-address, causes CPU spikes and ultimately a delay to send the info to the graphics cards and you have stutter. Go to task manager and open the performance tab, then click on recourse monitor, and let it load up, look at CPU usage and RAM usage, your looking for programs running in the backround, programs that cause stutter in the backround of games are intense programs like anti virus, seek and destroy, registry scanners, windows movie maker, TVplays, Raptor ,Nvidia shadow play, any game recording software, and a range of others, look at the CPU usage and see whats spiking, do the same for the RAM.Īlmost all stutter problems are a cause of a bottleneck somewhere, and in most cases its low core count, low clock rate CPU's that just cant handle the huge amounts of data new PC's are running smooth.Ī weak power supply will cause stuttering as the video card is starved of the power it needs to run at top speed.Ī full C drive, even if its an SSD drive will lower CPU/RAM performance the less on C drive the better on a gaming rig.Ī mechanical hard drive can cause stutter but is rare.Ī horrible chipset on the motherboard can cause stutter but is rare now days.


The higher a monitors refresh rate the sharper the picture and smoother the motion. This could be conflicting with your monitors refresh rate.Ĭheck your monitors refresh rate, needs to be 60htz min or higher. V-sync, go to the Nvidia control panel / manage 3d settings V-sync / force off. Have you tried setting the video card to all default, no tripple buffering which can cause stutter if the PC isnt up to speed, no pre-processing by the CPU also, a slow PC can get stutter from that also, I will run through a few things you can check, that can stop stuttering in many different games. How about posting your full system specs champ ?
