Hello, I'm having this weird "issue" where games that run at full speed (without speedhacks, before anyone asks, I know some speedhacks tend to cause frame skipping and such), sometimes feel like they are running at 30, it's not constant, for instance, I did notice this more on Nightshade, every once in a while, around every 2-3 minutes, I get a period of choppiness, for a couple of seconds, then turns back to normal.
It also happens in software mode apparently, and as I said, the FPS and VPS always stay at 60, but they feel choppy. I've heard that my ati card could probably be causing this. I'm going to upgrade soon so I might go the nvidia route again..
My rig:
2500k
z68 extreme3 gen3
8gb ripjaws
hd 4870 (catalyst 12.6, tried with 12.4b, didn't change a thing)
Win7 Ultimate x64
Temps of every piece of hardware are alright, too, so you can rule that out.
Note: Weirdly enough I'm also experiencing the same problem with Dolphin (specially noticeable in Metroid Prime), obviously not related to this forum but might be good to write it here anyway.
