HD 7950/GTX 670 Micro-Stuttering

[bystander]

The value of the micro-stutter improvement with the 670 is a personal one. I don't think any of us can honestly give you the answer you want.

As far as 2GB's being enough, it is plenty now, except in 1 case; modding. If you use a lot of game mods, you may have issues with 2GB's. The only other time it ever runs into issues is with extreme resolutions and extreme settings, particularly AA settings, but those settings are not achievable on a single card anyways.

^ However frame-time bench says otherwise.. My point is while a HD 7950 stutters 8% of the time, a GTX 670 stutters 2% and that's totally acceptable Thousands of users are suffering from this issue with 79xx cards and all I need to do is google HD7950 for micro-stuttering.
AMD claimed that they fixed this issue a bit with the beta.5 driver. I have it running after a clean windows 7 setup and the stuttering I felt in 13.1 and 13.2 are same. This became true when I plotted it again. AMD is fooling us 79xx users saying they will fix this issue but all they are doing it talking.. They didn't even admit there's a huge micro-stuttering problem with 79xx cards until those guys found it and showed the reports to AMD bags..
Apart from that I would like to know about VRAM cooling on Asus GTX 670 DC2(not top) as I'm going to OC it to the maximum level without voltage tweaks if I get it.. Please share your experience..
Thanks.

I play Skyrim with 3D Vision, my experience is completely different from yours.

Also, that issue was only fixed, or improved, in a few games, not all games. At least not yet. They are working on it. Skyrim was one of the games that they worked on.

^I'm not saying GTX 670 is micro-stuttering. HD 7950 is.. You have a GTX 680 setup or a HD 7950?

Still no luck. No GTX 670 users around and I got to return the card tomorrow.

The overall fix is coming if you're willing to wait

Edit :- Has AMD finished with the new driver or do we have more fixes are on the way?
