Graphics Card tests
« on: Saturday, November 27, 2010, 18:10:18 PM »
When I play CoD 4 I get these frequent stutters, kind of like lag spikes. I usually have good internet so I tested it on two other games, STALKER Call of Pripyat, and Alpha Protocol, both singleplayer games. Both get the same thing. So it may be a problem with my graphics card. Are there any tests I can run to see if it is?

OCCT is a all-in-one stress test. Run the GPU test and the CUDA memory test too. If I were you, I would whip out Task Manager and GPU-Z to see loads and determine if your CPU is holding you back or something.

Might look bigger, but it aint.....

Sounds like you're dropping fps. I use to get the same thing. The settings might be to high for your gpu. Pull up fraps or some thing to see your fps when it happens versus your fps normally.

nope, CoD4 only uses about 30% of my GPU. The FPS does drop when it stutters though.

How frequent are these stutters?
Pretty frequent.

I dont know. This problem is weird. Maybe something is on that shouldn't be on.

One as in programs running or a setting in-game?

I also tested it on STALKER Call of Pripyat and it still only uses 60% of my GPU. The CPU usage was pretty high, not 100% though. It is a weird problem. I'll try to turn down the settings next time and see what happens.

I was thinking something is running in the background spiking the cpu from time to time dropping the fps. Games these days still use GPU and CPU so if the cpu spikes, then the game can stutter or temporarily stop depending on how hard the cpu was hit.

I tested CoD 4 without any other programs running.

It could also be your harddrive.

See, I would think it's his hard drive if he was low-ish on RAM and the game was hitting up the paging file frequently but that doesn't really sound like the issue here. I'm stumped to be honest. We went through anything I could think of on X-Fire. Did you ever defrag Killaman?

I forgot to, I'll do that tonight.

EDIT: What  program should I use? I some how lost the one I used last time.
