    GPU "Microstuttering" FAQ

    The way I understand it is that any game that always runs over, say, 60fps all the time or 99.99% of the time will be fine. A game that runs under 60 FPS will stutter, a game that runs 300 fps but drops below 60fps "sometimes" will stutter when it drops below 60 (sometimes). The lower the FPS...

    GPU "Microstuttering" FAQ

    @christpunchersg Anything is possible but more than 2 years down the road and nothing seems to have changed.. although some of the posts in this thread suggest it's improved with 4850s and ATI have some new tech with the 4870x2 there seems to be a fundamental problem with multi-GPU as stated by...

    GPU "Microstuttering" FAQ

    I can't say for certain but it sounds more like bad slowdown in FPS rather than stuttering. Of course I could be wrong! :) Some particle affects used to and still do cause poor FPS.

    GPU "Microstuttering" FAQ

    A lot of the video shows stuttering when moving forward and strafing. He appears to have a logitech G11 which is wired so I suspect the stuttering is related to the graphics cards. However I do agree that a wireless mouse or keyboard which lost connectivity very briefly would give you a very...

    GPU "Microstuttering" FAQ

    From my personal point of view microstuttering, when it occurs, makes a game pretty unplayable. With a single GPU you can get slowdown yes but not stuttering (unless something is wrong). The youtube video posted by gerrson shows the stuttering, it doesn't look all THAT bad but it "feels" much...

    GPU "Microstuttering" FAQ

    I really had thought this microstuttering issue would have been fixed by now. I noticed it a couple of years (or more) ago when I first tried SLI with 2 7800GTXs. I ended up selling one of them because I couldn't cope with the stuttering. A few days ago I bought a 280 although I dithered for...

    17" BenQ 12ms, HP L2335 and Sony SDM-234B Comparison

    Update: Well the noise from the Sony turned out to be a known issue. Sony took SIX WEEKS to repair the monitor, the only upside being that it came back working and undamaged. Sony UK do NOT provide a replacement screen but offered to loan me a CRT or lower spec LCD. Since then - I have...

    17" BenQ 12ms, HP L2335 and Sony SDM-234B Comparison

    Update: Had a problem with the Sony P234. Now when switched on from cold I get a very high pitched wobbling noise from the screen. Quite loud at first and fades to almost zero after half an hour or so. I've put another post on the boards asking for help with this because other than the noise...

    Sony P234B Noise problem!

    I have a near perfect Sony 23". It WAS perfect but now when I turn it on it emits a very high pitched warbling noise. The sound is really annoying. When the screen warms up the sound gradually diminishes but you can still hear it easily for about 20mins and after that it goes very faint...

    HP L2335 23" 16ms... sweet

    Martin64: One dead pixel is very low although mine didn't have any - how you got someone to agree to no faulty pixels is beyond me! I had similar issues with bezel and base scratches & dents, their QC sux. Uneven backlight.... Have you checked this by moving your head around? If the problem...

    Sony’s SDM-234/B 23 Inch LCD Display

    The HP L2335 is a 16ms screen and uses the same panel - LG Philips - as the Sony, The BenQ and the Apple.

    Question on LCD response times

    Thats a great post by Synful Serenity and I agree 100%, from my own experience there doesn't seem a great deal of difference between the 17" 12ms Auoptronics panel and the LG-Philips 23" 16ms panel from the ghosting/blurring side. I've been wondering about this business with some people not...

    Should i get a TFT or a CRT for Gaming?

    I (finally) changed from large CRTs to large TFTs. TFTs do still ghost, even 12ms ones, but you don't notice it much when you actually play games unless you look for it. I've played MP in LAN sessions when I still had a CRT who were using 16ms+ TFTs and they didn't seem much affected at all...
