My FPS is always a pretty dependable 45-60. The only problem is the gameplay is very jerky all the time. It feels like i'm being showed the same frame multiple times in a row leading to a micro stutter kind of feeling. The quality of the frames are just as jerky in D3 as they are in BF4 even though I could easily run D3 twice at max settings with my setup. I only tested it on a few games and it looks like the same stuttering is present in all of them. I've tried playing with a few settings in the Nvidia Control Panel but I can't see any noticable difference.

Heres my setup:
FX-6100
GTX 660 DCU2 OC
SP900 256GB SSD
5900RPM HDD
10GB, DDR3-1333, PC3-10600 MB/sec
M3970AM-HP
Windows 8.1
 
I did a lot of playing around before I tried the motherboard upgrade so I dont think thats gonna help. I think since its the only thing that hasn't been replaced my only real option is a CPU upgrade. I tried overclocking a bit more but Prime95 always runs into an error until its clocked to 3.8. I tried 3.9 and I kept getting an error eventually no matter how much voltage I pumped into it.
