I fired up Dead Space 2 for the first time since getting my gtx670 and noticed some hitching when just walking around. I had vsync forced on from the control panel and thought that might be causing it since the 600 series are having issues staying at 60 fps with vsync. before going to the control panel though I noticed when it hitched it was not always dropping below 60fps. anyway I turned vsync off and started the game up again and it was still there.
to be clear all I have to do is walk around and Isaac will hitch every 2 to 3 seconds at what seems like perfectly spaced intervals. its like something is polling so I turned off Precision completely and restarted the game and it is still there. it might not be very noticeable to some people at first and does not seem to hitch when running but as soon as you see it happen while walking its obvious that something is not right.
I tried Dead Space 1 and it is perfectly fine so it seems to just be Dead Space 2 that is affected. I know it has never done this before because I have played through this game numerous times on my gtx570 as well as some other lower end systems. I guess it is either the gtx670 or 301.42 driver that is the culprit here.
