I have played through CoD4 (1.4) and noticed a "micro stutter" problem.
Does not matter what resolution, Single or Dual GPU
CoD4 stutters randomly for about 1sec
Using Fraps I have recorded the anomaly and found that indeed about 8-9 frames are missing / duplicated when this happens
(Just still frames, no key frames but the clock keeps ticking)
I have not played on line.
Punk Buster is not installed.
I have tried:
Custom configs
Official and Omega Drivers (169.21)
nHancer Compat settings
Dual (AFR1 and 2, SFR) and Single GPU rendering.
Optimized settings (at an abysmal 1024x768)
Changing the PCI latency settings.
Enabling and Disabling 60Hz FrameSync
(which surprisingly plays smooth a butter until the glitch hits)
Nothing seems to make it go away.
To me it seems like the system freezes randomly for 1 second or so.
I have watched the CoD FPS indicator flash Red for a split second when the lockup occurs.
I could be running at 120-200 fps/sec and it doesn't matter.
I have not been able to find a solution.
Micro stutter is a term I had not heard of before.
I have read everything about it from "its input lag" to "its a virus" to "Multi core systems have a data sync problem"
"nVidia does not care" and "ATI posted a hot fix" that works sometimes.
Does not seem to effect any other game that I have
Call of Duty 4 is the most graphics intensive game I have.
Doom, Quake4 and FEAR are not effected.
It is really annoying during game play and seems like a ugly smear on a such an expensive new system.
If anyone can has any insight I would greatly appreciate the help.
Here is a summery of the system.
