[citation][nom]redgarl[/nom]I have two 6850 in CF and it's amazing. I never knew about micro-stutering until I saw a topic here. With a 120Hz HD tv, you don't notice anything. I believe it is more a joke to scare people than anything else.[/citation]
Oh, its most certainly real and can be a huge problem. However, it doesn't get seen by everyone and there are many situations that can affect its severity, so it's not always a problem anyway. Radeon 6800 is known to be one of the worst current card series about it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be an issue for you. I've heard of other people with huge issues with 6870s or 6850s and I've heard of other people that don't have issues.
