Stuttering cutscenes in all games

[Estorm732]

Hello. I've built myself a new PC recently, but there seems to be a problem with it. The cutscenes in every game look really choppy. It's almost like they stutter.

The games themselves run fine, but when a cutscene appears, it looks like it's being displayed in 30fps or something, except the FPS doesn't drop in numbers when measuring with Afterburner/Fraps etc. I've tried various drivers, even re-installed Windows, but the problem just persists.

Here are my specs:
i7 4790K
Asus Z-97 pro
Corsair 16GB DDR3
Asus GTX 970
Kingston 120GB v300 SSD
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD
Thermaltake 750W PSU
Windows 7 64-bit


Thanks.

Name the games. Assassins Creed does it. Runs at 30 fps and choppy. Theres some workaround but forgot what it is. Other games do the same thing and usually they do run at 30 fps in cutscenes.

Well, for example GTA V , Metal Gear Revengeance, Thief... (the most recent one)

Did you install chipset drivers, graphics drivers etc?
Throw away anything that came with the system, those are usually old. Go webhunting.

But first, try these settings

I remember something about having to go to Nvidia control panel myself, especially power saving turned off (max perf) and single monitor performance seemed to be important. Hey, it's been a year, can't remember everything =)

Hope it helps

Well, I have updated graphics drivers several times, but any other driver is from the installation CD.

What other drivers such as "chipset" should I update? Where can I find those? For example the chipset driver, is that CPU related (from Intel's website) or MoBo related (From Asus website)?

Chipset is usually motherboard. I've never owned an Intel so I don't know. On AMD side, chipset drivers are usually gotten from mobo maker but sometimes straight thru AMD also.

Did you try the tweaks?

I have. Using maxium performance through power management settings did make the cutscenes in GTA V smoother, but it cooks up the CPU for some reason, which is running on stock cooler. I'm gonna get a heatsink.

However there was no change in other games such as MGS Revengeance using the same settings, confusing.
