APHill Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi Gents, I need some advice as to micro stutters in all of my Sims (COD, ROF, DCS, and IL 2) I’m trying to figure out why it’s happening. I recently replaced my GTX 770 card with a GTX 980 and it made no difference at all. I also replaced my 1920 X1200 res monitor with one that is 2560x 1440 Here are my system specs, Processor: Intel® Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, Memory size 4095 MB Board Manufacturer EVGA Corp Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 8160MB RAM Mainboard Model: Asus P8P67 Monitor ASUS PB278Q 27-Inch WQHD LED-lit Professional Graphics Monitor (2560x1440 resolution) Thinking of replacing it with this one ASUS PG278Q ROG Swift 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor (2560 x 1440 res) that supports G Sync technology, Link: http://www.amazon.com/PG278Q-27-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00MSOND8C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1424652653&sr=8-3&keywords=g+sync+monitor%27s (I am not sure if you need the graphics card to support if too if so I would need to swap out my brand new GTX 980 for a 980 that does support it) Power Supply 550W Can anyone spot the weak link here that might be the problem? Not enough RAM? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Have you tried overclocking your CPU? As for G Sync I think you set that up in the G force experience screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 23, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 The only thing I can think of, is missing or invalid chip set drivers. I got a quite similar board (P8P67 LE), and these are the ones I have installed: ************************************************************ * Product: Intel® Chipset Device Software * Release: Production Version * Version: 9.2.0.1015 * Target Products: Intel® 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family * 2nd generation Intel® Core processor family * Date: October 04 2010 ************************************************************ I downloaded those a while ago from here: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8P67/HelpDesk_Download/ (this is a direct link to P8P67 board, not sure which sub-version (Pro, Q or other) you are using, but do check! Let's do some old fashion trouble shooting: Post your DxDiag report, the 64bit one. (Start, Run, DxDiag.exe, press the 'Run 64Bit DxDiag' , press save all information, then upload or paste the DxDiag.txt file here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APHill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 FT, Thanks much for your help. Attached is my 64 bit DXDIAG and a screenshot of my mother board info using a little program called CPUID I'm not sure if it says what version of mother board it is. maybe it says on the board itself? Have you tried overclocking your CPU? As for G Sync I think you set that up in the G force experience screen Not yet Crash, I wouldn't have a clue as to how to do that, I would have to beg my son for help. LOL! I may do some begging in the future though. 64 bit DxDiag.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APHill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I downloaded drivers for the MB. What a bewildering thing. Do I run the first AsusSetup.exe in the main folder , or the one thats in the Driver folder. When I open the Driver folder there is another folder called "Chipset" inside that is another AsusSetup.exe! So, which .exe do I run? all ?

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 23, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Here's what I found after a first look: - From your DxDiag report: Line 67 in your report shows empty space past Video Accel: , where as mine states: Video Accel: ModeMPEG2_A ModeMPEG2_C ModeVC1_C ModeWMV9_C Not too sure why it is different, or how to fix that ... they look like installed video renders. I can only find the line being empty in existing reports, on systems where no video drivers have been installed... - There are later versions of your Bios (you are on 36.02, looks like latest is 38.01) I downloaded drivers for the MB. What a bewildering thing. Do I run the first AsusSetup.exe in the main folder , or the one thats in the Driver folder. When I open the Driver folder there is another folder called "Chipset" inside that is another AsusSetup.exe! So, which .exe do I run? all ? I do not think it matters much, really can't remember ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APHill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 The latest Bios I can find on the asus site is 3602. Can you post a link to what you saw? My MB is a version 1.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 23, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Well, you are right about 36.02 being the latest version for your board, if indeed you have a bare P8P67... There's a lot of sub-types for the P8P67... that have later BIOS versions available. You 100% sure it's a plain P8P67? How to tell for sure? Download ASUS PC diagnostics, install it and run it... it's first screen will show the correct type and sub-type... (Only if you are unsure of the type, for sure!)

APHill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Pretty sure its a plain one. Thanks for the nice utility. I ran it and the screen shot is below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 23, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 After installing them Chipset drivers, can we have a look see at a fresh 64bit DxDiag Report please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APHill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes, here it is. DxDiag latest.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
