Micro-Stuttering in games

the fx6300 cpu is awesome for the money!! gets my approval and stuck in every budget build I do for people.
can push it over 5ghz on a stock cooler!!

as for the issue its not a hardware issue if its limited to just this game. it could simply just be a compatablity issue!

just check all the drivers are up to date amd run fraps, see what fps youre actually getting. if its stuttering at 100fps then its again not because its struggling

Thanks, didn't think about trying Fraps.

Will try this out

Update:

I installed FRAPs and ran the game, It runs with 58FPs due to the limiter on Radeon Pro. I adjusted this to 60FPS and lowed a few other settings and disabled the in game limiter. Its seems to have got better maybe even gone completely.

Is it possible the the limiters were interfering with each other and causing a conflict?

Thanks

v sync can cause stuttering and tearing if enabled. because the refresh rate and the fps dont match perfectly.

personally I always turn it off and allow my games to run at whatever fps my rig can handle.

having vsync off causes horrific screentearing which renders a game UNPLAYABLE no matter the fps i get, Also, the eye cant see more tham 60 so whats the point of ruining your experience so you can have a higher number in the top left of your screen:)

Microstutter is commonly caused by crossfire set ups,
Also, Pre Built "Gaming" pc's also tend to ship with poor cheap PSU and the same with the Ram. Could also be a factor

As for CPU, the AMD 6 core FX series are great, so much bang for such little buck.
The exact same statement as above for the gpu, although driver support may not be as good, it does have mantle and it saves you a lot.

The problem has been solved. It appears to have been a problem with settings within radeon pro. A quick reconfigure seems to have fixed it and the game is running perfectly.

Thanks for all the help guys

That's interesting because I've seen the opposite. I guess it depends on the game and era. On some older games I would get tearing if V-Sync was enabled, on newer games I would get issues if V-Sync wasn't enabled. It just depends on the game and how it's optimized.

Same here Drew, if a game happens to be pumping out a couple of hundred FPS then I found the screen would get terrible tearing.
I always have V-Sync on as I find it gives smooth game play and my monitor can only kick out 60 anyway.

bf4 is a game where id get ghosting and tearing if I enabled vsync. if I disabled it id get over 100fps but with no visual issues.
even though my monitor(s) are rated to 60hz.

I think if you have a BenQ top monitor it eliminates screentearing without vsync? correct or am i wrong lol
