Hi everyone!
Specs:
Gigabyte GTX 580 super overclock edition x2 (SLI)
Gigabyte G1.Sniper2 motherboard
Intel 2600k (o/c to 4.5ghz)
12gb RAM
Corsair 1050 HX psu
Force 3 60gb SSD (Windows 7 pro 64bit installed)
Western digital 2tb Black (Games+stuff installed)
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2233sw (60hz)
The problem I am experiencing is stuttering when vysnc is disabled across all games. If I were to enable vysnc, the stuttering is gone and the game runs silky smooth at locked 60FPS.
I have tested with both GPUs running as single and the problem still occurs. All drivers are updated including the motherboard. I have tested locking frames at 50, 60, 70, 80 etc and the problem still occurs if Vsync is disabled despite the frames being locked below the monitor's refresh rate (50-60fps).
I am not sure what the problem is. I know of the phenomon of screen tearing and this definately is not that; it clearly is stuttering to the extent of frame skipping. This exact problem was explored here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1646309
The following video provided by user adrift02 shows the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X86bHg3ORjw
Games to note that I have tested this in:
Just cause 2
Starcraft 2
Battlefield 3
Mount and Blade
minecraft (teehee)
Witcher 2
I can max out all of these games and have solid 'smoothness' when vysnc is forced on along with tripple buffering; but when disabled...the horror...THE HORROR!!!
I really dont know what to do anymore...Is my monitor the culprit for not refreshing fast enough forcing GPU to hold back frames to the extent of this. If this were the case; why when vysnc is disabled and I force frames down to 50-60 the stuttering still occurs. Or are both my GPU's faulty for not being able to render and send frames in a correct order? I'm not much of an expert on this so please feel free to highlight the 'obvious' and 'stupid' in what I'm saying.
If my monitor is the culprit then that'll be great; easy fix. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? If anyone can give me there two cents on the matter I'll be very grateful!
Thanks very much!
