I recently bought myself a set of parts and built this gaming PC. Unfortunately since setting it up I've been having an issue with "stuttering" fps or micro lag every few seconds (while gaming) that isn't related to my internet. This led me in the search for information on the topic, and after hours of research and tinkering I'm left with a question unanswered.
The graphics card I'm using is Zotac GeForce GTX 970 4GB.
MSI Kombuster Link --> http://www.ozone3d.net/msi_kombustor/
I've obviously read (after purchase and installation, unfortunately) about the issue with the last .5 ram on the card. Although I'm not ruling out that being the issue, some stress tests using MSI Kombuster have me wondering.
I did the FurMark Stress Test to test the memory and at 2gb my results were....
MSI Kombuster
FurMark Stress Test
Score: 5236 points (87FPS)
GeForce GTX 970/PCIe/SSe2
1920x1080, AA: 4x MSAA, 60000ms.
Pretty good right? My results at 3gb weren't so pretty at
Score: 1004 points (16FPS)
With all the other information being the same. My question then is, Is it normal for a GPU to drop performance so significantly going from 50-->75% ram utilization?
Thank you for your time and I appreciate any responses!
