NVIDIA 6 series stuttering

[Stublerone]

I know that problem caused by vram on nvidia cards at arma 2, but this should already be fixed by nvidia. There was a key combination or work around, how to unload the vram on the fly without rebooting. But I don't know, if this fault perhaps came back in some ways???

590 = live with stutters as it is your dual card causing it in close work to the vram. Again I have to say my opinion: Bad technique causes bad and unefficient work!

This power setting issue sounds like the problem with ati cards, which are running only at 500mhz video mode, when watching tracks. Perhaps, this problem is now also arising for imprved power settings of the nvidia cards? Did you already delete the ubi teaser file? This forces ati's to run only in video mode.

And again: stutters with a 680 should happen, because they again have insufficient vram! See phat's testings!

I have a PNY GTX460 (factory oc) video card, and don't have any problems,,, no stuttering, good fps..
it is on an older MSI P7N motherboard with 4 gb ddr2 ram...

I use the latest video drivers..

This is just an FYI, not to just say, hey I don't have problems with my gtx460 in 2d/3d, just sayin' it's a good video card.. I have had it about 1 year.

Of course with several flight sims, once in a while something gets bugged and I have to restart, or reboot, but that's normal for all computers...

I used to run ATI / Radeon, but Nvidia work much much better for me and my friends for flight sims.. (Opinion).

I just bought a evga gtx670 ftw and I ran CoD, Skyrim, Alan Wake, Crysis2 and Shogun2 with it and did not encounter any stutters.
I am however using the latest beta driver and have v-sync enabled in most games together with triple buffering.

As previously posted, the 304.xx beta driver officially is made to fix intermittend stuttering due to v-sync, that made me use that driver, didn't even try the latest whql driver.

For anyone who is thinking about a 670, all I can say is it took me a long time to be able to upgrade my gpu and I am very happy I did. Performance is awesome (compared to my old 470) and the card runs silent and about 10 to 15 celsius lower under load (with increased settings) with the same afterburner fan profile that I used for my old card. It is at average at about 50 to 55 celsius and so far nerver broke 62 celsius.

Yes, I am using the latest Nvidia 304.79 beta drivers and it seems to have fixed the problem for now......

Invest in a SSD if possible. My stutters went instantly.

Or, if you have enough RAM installed, install RAMDRIVE

SSD does not solve the stuttering with GTX 600

I don't know, why people do not listen to the posts of phat and me. It seems, that some just know it better.. Omg....

And again, one post tell us about crysis, skyrim and games like these. Please do us all a favour and do not mention performances on such games. On my old gtx 285 ssc, all these games ran also in acceptable fps and quality. So you can see, that they are simply casual games with eye candy and a totally different way to program a game. And they are multi platform, which means, that they have to suite to all platforms. That means ps3, which has an incredibly low ram and up to some opinions, never was able to compete with a pc! Guys who think, that it was better than any gaming pc in its first months, are totally wrong.

To come back to multiplatform games: they are mainly programmed for xbox and ps3, so they manage to use low ram, low visibility distances and too much eye candy to camouflage bad things. If you will now buy a graphics card, it is bored to death. Scenario: ps3 and xbox360 will stay for 10 years longer ->this will mean, that you are able to play actual games with a gtx 580 even in 10 years, because we currently see not much development in games. Bf3 is also only bf:bad company 2 with eye candy, not more! So, please do not compare any game of these with clod or pc exclusive games. There are good games, bit technically they are eye candy and no improvement of gaming! That is not only my opinion, bit also the opinion of othe core gamers, who are waiting for new big improvements and not for hollywood games, where the developer/publisher earns millions with crappy games, who will be over after 5 hours and have no motivation to play it even twice. Some games like call of duty and bf3 are just copied and pasted, with new textures and new featured eye candy techniques, not more in my opinion.

All in all, please stop mention skyrim as comparison. It is totally the other party of gaming development.

SSD is good I use them.

Does this issue also by any chance also apply to the 5xx series of cards?
