Wait a minute...he posted a thread like this 5 times??!?
Eh, maybe 4. I've lost count.

The point is, Anandtech has dealt with his inability to follow advice, adhere to requests, and even dealt with his "here's my problem...you guys fix it" commands. Time and time again we learn how annoying he can be and he learns, well, how to rephrase his scenario and post it again on a later date.

It has just been shown that we can't help him. Having another go at it just worsens his attempt at solving his problem.
Or says 'I have this video/fps charts if you want them' but, never, ever, ever, posts them.
To be fair, he did upload a ~275 MB fraps video of NFS: MW and the "stuttering".

It's just that the video didn't really show anything wrong and it at one point became evident that the stuttering he was describing was actually screen tearing due to lack of Vsync. Then he complains about the frames being capped at 60 when he enables Vsync.

In any case, I'd agree with apoppin in that I don't know when his gaming rig became "perfect" because his own posting history describes otherwise.

I think Video really does need active Moderation like ATOT, even if it is just to prevent morons like Akshayt from posting again.

When oh when will the mods do something about this idiot?

I have dealt with people like Akshayt in my daily work....He is probably for real...HOWEVER the problems more than likely isn't with his PC...I would be willing to bet that he has a really cheap monitor which can't cope with higher frame rates and once he gets past the refresh rate, it tears and shimmers like crazy giving the impression that his PC is "Stuttering"

I just can't believe that a rig with a video card that fast can behave as bad as he reckons...after all my 7800GS is much slower than his X1900XTX and yet it gives me a super smooth gaming experience ALL the time, even with AA/AF on at higher resolutions...even as far back as when I was using my 6800GT all the time it was smooth.

I just don't get it.

I did not know he posted a video of MW's stuttering (so-called). Well then, if he complains about it being capped with vSync, he should...
RAISE HIS REFRESH RATE.
TADA.
VOILA.
That way the cap won't matter as much (although the human eye can barely process FPS above 60 anyways...)

Yes... and although we have tried to help and ask for video/fps graphs/etc, he always either:
Disregards the advice
Or says 'I have this video/fps charts if you want them' but, never, ever, ever, posts them. Even when we ask for them. Yes, we want them POST them.

examples:


Extremely crap FPS on 1900xtx in Rainbow Six Vegas

Gothic 3 Performance thread!

1900XTX not performing...

Severe Image Tearing Issues...

notice we NEVER see a *Perfect Gaming Rig* :p

well, he does have a 'gift' for *Crying Tiger* and an inability to appear to be insulted ... expect to see him post this same crap again and again till someone takes it to Forum Issues ...
--or we get a decent *explanation* from the OP

i am still wondering IF he ever got a Philips Screwdriver ... since he claims he or his mother couldn't get one in *his Village*
:roll:

IIRC I did that when he posted his "XTX not performing" thread....but the lack of active moderation in this forum prevented anything being done.

like I said before...we need a full time Mod here in video.

i didn't have room for everything and only spent 2 minutes *searching*

IF i detail it for the mods, i will be more thorough

the SAD thing is that the OP will ReAppear in a day or two as if *nothing has happened* and start his crap all over again
:thumbsdown:

i say we be *ready* for him with the stones ...
:frown:

... of truth

and *remind* everyone early in his threads what is really up with the OP

until the mods decide 'what to do about video', we are left to police it ourselves. ;)

*where?* ... not in this thread
:confused:

Mods make an appearance in Video only when *invited* ... usually by PM or by posting in FI when someone complains that the rules were violated and posts a link to the specific violation. ;)

that's how someone in Video got a vacation last week

Yep. It seems the OP contacted them, because they were going after the flamers, not the OP.

Where do you see *Edited By AnandTech Moderator* ?
:confused:

OK, page ONE

The flamer will also get one free entry into the Ban thread in OT.

there is no doubt this thread should be locked ...

and we certainly aren't *flaming* the OP

generally

we are asking him to *explain* what he is really doing ;)

He got flamed pretty hard on the first few pages actually. :Q

Good luck getting him to explain anything. Methinks he gets a kick out of posting these threads. :beer:

if he won't explain, we should simply refuse to give him any more *help*

and i believe he craves attention ... any kind

it just doesn't sound like he lives in india at all from what he has said :p

[you DO know there are people posting here with alternate accounts and personnas]

Just think, if nobody replied, it would quickly fall to page 2 where we wouldn't have to look at it. And when he kept bumping it, a mod would ban him for double / triple posting.

Just a thought

Unchecked Write Combining. Now performance isn't choppy. But I am still getting a lot of stuttering, both with CAT AI disabled and enabled.

122 posts in this thread, and all you have actually done thus far is:

Scan for spyware
Remove Norton
Unchecked Write combining.
And all your other posts contain something to the effect of: "Whats the point in doing that? I don't see how yada yada yada."
How are you ever going to learn?

Nobody has suggested me any other point other than what I have already done. I have even defragged. What do you want me to do now?
