I have been doing a lot of searching around and have found COUNTLESS forum threads about people having problems with their games.
First let me say: this is NOT related to Hard Drive Hitching, this is related to stuttering. I find many people on those forms would reply with "defrag the hard drive", which is not related to stuttering.
Ok, so reading thread after thread on this problem I have found something that is playing a huge roll into this. One of the biggest fixes I read about is "roll back to the older video drives . . ." and a lot of people said that worked, but it seemed for the majority this didn't work. It certainly didn't work for me.
My system:
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ult. Corporate Edition
CPU: Intel 3Ghz w/6Mb L2 Cache
MB: GA-EP45C-UD3R
Mem: 4Gb
Vid: Nvidia GForce 260
Alright, here is the deal. I too suffer these damn "micro" stutters. You notice them mostly when looking down on the ground in your games and moving forward as well walking forward and looking to the side at the same time. It's hella-annoying.
Time after time, fresh install, tweaking the OS out, changing this changing that. Even latest and greatest drivers.
Then I found out the most interesting thing about this problem: chipset drivers. Before I go into this I want to mention that in Windows XP Pro I do not have 'any' stuttering in my games whatsoever.
Ok, the big find in Windows 7 that's causing these stutters (from what I have researched) thus far. Windows 7 is not allowing me to actually install the chipset drivers. After downloading the drivers either from Intel or Gigabytes webiste neither will install. (yes, I do "Run as Administrator")
However the chipset drivers for the SATA hardware 'does' install, but the PCI bus and everything else, Windows 7 refuses to use those drives and instead only uses the Microsoft drivers.
I have NO doubt in my mind that this is why myself and thousands of others are having these stuttering problems due to the chipset drivers not being properly installed by the OS itself.
---------- Alright, so what can I do to get Windows 7 to use/install my Chipset drivers, and has anyone ever heard of this? I run the inf installer (run as administrator) and sure enough as I watch it install it only goes off and installs the SATA drivers and turns around and tells me it's completed. Going into Device Manager the PCI Bus and other motherboard drivers are using Microsoft drivers only. Oddest thing I have seen to date with an MS OS. 😱
If there is some way I can make Windows 7 use the inf chipset drivers (all of them) I think....I KNOW my stuttering issues will be gone.
BUT! Anyone else that suffers from these same problem: can you check the chipset drives via your Device Manager, too? I would like to know if those parts of the motherboard on your system too are using Microsoft drivers instead of the correct ones.
Any help to this would greatly be appreciated. 😉
