GTX690 Stuttering

[Spaceme1117]

Hello.

Does anyone encounter stuttering in games running on your GTX690? I know that it runs in SLI but since it is a single card solution, is it still susceptible to stuttering?

yes and no, The drivers use frame metering technology that does a pretty good job of syncronizing frames. I haven't seen it in action but from what I gather it does a good job of minimizing the effect of microstutter.

If it has the same impact of the frame limiter setting in Radeon Pro then I suspect it would be acceptable to almost anyone. I'm very sensitive to microstutter and Radeon Pro cured my symptoms

The advantage of 670 sli is that you can disable a card at will with a 690 you are stuck with sli and can't disable a card no matter what.

Are you sure?

I was able to disable SLI on my GTX295.

Of course you can disable one GPU on the 690.

I was having stuttering problems with my single Evga gtx670 ftw with BF3,the only fix seems to have been enabling adaptive vsync in the nvidia control panel while also enabling vsync in game.

Results may very but if this is one of your games and this solution i mentioned above works,keep us updated.

you can disable MULTI-GPU on the 690. Go to the Nvidia control panel

Warning noob question: where is that frame limiter option in Radeon Pro? I can't find it.

of course it can still stutter as it being a single card does not change the fact that its still two gpus.

The advantage of 670 sli is that you can disable a card at will with a 690 you are stuck with sli and can't disable a card no matter what.

you can disable a gpu on a gtx690 just like with any other dual gpu setup.

While we're on the topic of microstutter, I have a question about amd cards in crossfire. I currently own a single 7950 and plan to get a 2nd one soon. I've heard that you need high frames to reduce microstutter with amd cards. Does using radeonPro eliminate this?

RadeonPro is claimed and tested to reduce the microstutter of crossfire. I am fairly confident you will find that the dynamic sync option will reduce it. Having not tested my 7970s for a while I can't tell you how much it improves and whether its dual 680 good but toms hardware and quite a few people here seem happy with it.

Personally I found xfire on 7970s unacceptable, it was nearly unplayable. I hope radeonpro fixes it and that amd allows the solution to remain/incorporates it.
