DirectX choppy in every game I play it with?

[Luhrs]

Specs:
GPU: Geforce 770 SC.
Processor: Intel i5-4570, 3.20 GHZ.
Ram: 8 gigs.
Cooling system (Incase of a question of it overheating) Corsair Hydro H60.
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 Military class.

I don't think the motherboard is relevant, but never hurts to add right?

Literally every game I try to play it with lags, TSW, Last Light (Have to literally modify the ltx file to put to DirectX 9/10) Crysis etc. etc. Even games with low specs that have directx lag.

I know my processor isn't the best but I've heard of 4570k's being able to play with DirectX so I'm not sure if it's the processor or on my end.

EDIT: I have good FPS in Last Light, just choppy gameplay.

its definitely another issue, have you reloaded all your graphic drivers?, updated your DX?

what is your cpu, gpu, and temps of both while gaming.

lastly what powersupply do you have

Reloaded? Yes, updated DX? Yes.

GPU is 66-70.

CPU is unknown, don't know how to monitor it but sometimes I alt+tab and try to look at ETU. I've stress tested and the most I've gotten is like, 60's? I'll run one real quick.

EDIT: Used ETU to stress test it, max was 57.

Also, by lag, what are we talking about here?

Choppy gameplay, FPS is sometimes good. Sometimes bad, usually good.

well firstly last light will not be playable on one gpu on ultra. even with 2 7970s i only can hold around 60-80 fps with everything maxed and it will dip lower sometimes depending on how high i set AA and stuff. believe this was on 1080 cant remember if i tried it on 1440p.

does turning off AA and lowering settings help

you shouldnt have issues playing games as long as your arent trying to max every single game you play, also if your games have the option enable raw mouse input helps with the weird input lag

I always turn stuff like AA off, and no lowering settings don't help. No matter the settings, I could run any game on the lowest settings with DirectX 11 on and it will be like trying to play Crysis 3 with a 2003 computer.

I play just fine with all that stuff off on Last Light (AA and Tessellation) 1080p and Ultra with DX9. No problems there, I have fine FPS but the gameplay is really choppy on DX11.

So the problem isn't DirectX games, but DirectX 11 games? DirectX 11 games are usually more demanding, as the main reason dev's use DirectX 11 is to push the limits on visuals.

Are you using V-sync? V-sync can cause a lot of lag and can make things very choppy if you don't reach your refresh rate and if you do get FPS to match your refresh rate, then you gain extra latency.

Oh god no.

V-Sync is the devil to me.

what powersupply are you running, sometimes reloading your OS fixes weird issues. have you updated your chipset drivers

You might want to download GPU-Z and make sure the card is running at the proper bus interface. AMD cards tend to run poorly when not fully seated, Nvidia cards tend to lose colors when not properly seated.
