    GTX 780 throttling and stuttering

    Come to think of it...I didn't walk to the mail box, but I did take out the trash...that's it! Thanks toyota! It wasn't just core parking it was HPET too. Disabling HPET reduced my overall latency by quite a bit. That could explain a few things.

    GTX 780 throttling and stuttering

    I agree, that all of those things seem unrelated...yet...they are not present anymore! BTW, I will add that if I alt+tab out of BF3 now, the stutter returns.

    GTX 780 throttling and stuttering

    Welp - I figured out my problem! It wasn't the PSU. It was HPET and CPU parking! I don't know why in all of my posting in forums, and Googling I didn't come across those solutions before, but that was it! Now there is almost no stutter, the card overclocks much better, and I think the coil...

    GTX 780 throttling and stuttering

    I have very similar issues: -I returned two different EVGA GTX 780's due to artifacts and random slow-downs / stuttering in BF3 -I returned 2 GTX 760's that I was running in SLI due to random slow-downs / stuttering -I am about to Return a Galaxy GTX 780 HOF for slow-downs / stuttering...

    What is Wrong With My Q6600?

    All the Prime failures where rounding errors. The blue screen during the Prime test was a pagefile access error (because I set Prime to run at 3200MB in custom).

    What is Wrong With My Q6600?

    Hey guys, I got a Q6600 from Fry's on BF and replaced my E4300. Since I really don't have a lot of time to mess with it, I just figured I'd go for a modest overclock of 3GHz. However, I can't get it to to through more than an hour of Prime 95 for more than an hour without one of the cores...

    Sounds exactly like the PS3 pre-order "mistake." They get all of our info, issue invoices, then say they never intended to have PS3 pre-orders. Just as well anyway since the PS3 ain't too dam good.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    I guess it would be easier to just ask: 1) Do the 650i boards have SATA corruption issues, or holes in the OC straps (like the 680i boards did/do)? 2) Do the 650i boards have any other problems?

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Thanks for the reply. When you say "No problems like that with the 650i's" do you mean: a) The new 680i has fixed the problems the 680i had, and the 650i doesn't have the old problems either b) The The new 680i has fixed the problems the 680i had and the problems the 650i had. Thanks

    Hey guys, I've been thinking about buying an Nvidia 6x0i board ever since they came out, but the SATA corruption and Mem/OC holes on the 680i's scared me. Do the 650i's have any of the problems that the 680i's did? Or are they fixed on the 680i's now too (with BIOS updates)? Thanks

    I don't know about the 360 version of R6V (The only part of R6V I've seen for the 360 is the demo), but I can tell you that the MP in the PC version of R6V DOES switch to lower detail and it looks like A$$. There is NOTHING you can do about it.

    It's obvious that they just do the credit on a certain day and everyone that qualifies gets it on that day, no matter when they made the purchase. So it could end up being a few months or a few days.
