Hi,
I just recently purchased this card, coming from a $20 video card. I had no problems with the cheap card, other than I couldn't play games on very high settings. Now with the 650 I can play my games on max settings, but I've been experiencing random stuttering. Sometimes in games, but not even during intense moments, just randomly. It also happens when watching Youtube videos. It'll stutter for a few seconds and make a strange 80s robot kinda sound then go back to normal. My resolution is only 1360x768 as it's all my crappy tv can do.
I've checked to make sure my drivers are up to date. I have it hooked up to my tv through the mini hdmi, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Also when I first got it the sound on Bioshock wasn't working so I downloaded a realtek driver. I can't remember if I had any stuttering before the driver, but I don't think so.
I was thinking I might need a new video card, but I've ready that 550w should be enough, so I wanted to check here before going out and buying one. I've tried searching forums for a solution but most of what I found people either had a much weaker psu or a different video card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my setup:
AMD Phenom II x4 945 3.0 ghz Processor
MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) Motherboard
Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
ULTRA LSP550 550W PSU
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1024MB GDDR5 128bit
