Systems Specs are as follows:
Amd Athlon Xp 3000+
1024 ddr Corsair
GeForce FX 5900
Plextor DVD Burner
200GB Maxtor 7200
550w PSU
Windows XP Pro SP1

This card stutters every few seconds in any game.

It's just as noticable when playing Halo or UT04 than it is playing the Hazard Course in Hl. :rolleyes:

Antialiasing + AF are disabled to my knowledge. I've both underclocked and overclocked the card with no success.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Edit: Oh, and I've tried the drivers that came with the card, Windows Update drivers and the latest drivers from Nvidias website.
 
I had the same problem with a crappy card called FX5200, it was a driver issue, but U said U already changed them, (btw did you unistall the driverz correctly, completely ?) so another issue could be proper cooling but it´s unlikely. The mobo must be the problem, better yet the correct bios optimization, so check it out.

If could be that you had overclocked the crap out of card (3d overclock) and the delta (difference) between 2d and 3d overclocking is too high, that plus bad cooling could make the card choppy for a couple of seconds.


If this doesnt help try installing an old OS like win98 or winME and check the problematic games, there you could verify the mobo problem.
 
When I installed the drivers, I just ran the uninstall utility in Add/Remove, restarted, installed newer drivers from the executable. Is this the wrong way?

Can you be a bit more specific with the BIOS? I've had a look around but couldn't see anything obvious.

By the way, thanks for the help. ;)
 
You might have something running in the background causing this, like Palm Pilot or a scanner. Open up Task Manager and see if the cpu usage changes every few seconds, then see which app running is using it.
 
Quite often that tends to be network related.

Disable your network and try your game. If so, you know where to start.
