All of my games look choppy and jittery even at high fps.

Intensive background application maybe?

I don't mean to sound rude, but have you read the other comments? I have reinstlled windows and purchased a new Hard drive, it is not a background application. And even if It was, I would have bad fps which I do not have.

I am not going to install my Nvidea drivers BECAUSE I HAVE AN AMD GPU! IT IS NOT THE BLOODY DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TRIED SO MANY BLOODY DRIVERS, I WOULD NOT HAVE STARTED BYING COMPONENTS IF IT WAS THE DRIVERS!!!!!!

Sorry, misread your post.

I am a little confused, you are certain it is the CPU, but you think it is drivers and gpu?

well I'm certain it's the cpu, but if you don't if you don't agree with me about the cpu than your position you think it's a problem with optimization and drivers.

No, I just it could be a Motherboard or PSU problem, or even RAM.

how much ram do you have? Motherboard unless it's broken in half isn't going to be doing this. Psu, how big is it then?

Yes I did read that, but it could be a windows background service or caused by a program that you use everyday. Just a thought.

Dude, it is not the mouse, I have tried a new one. I didn't list it because I thought it is a bit too minor of a change.

Dude, I was basing it on an issue that I had and something you did not list. I did state that it is an issue that I have and may be something that is an issue with you. Maybe state everything that you have tried next time. Sorry that I tried to help with my responce.

Please stop with the bottlenetting crap! It is NOT bottle necking! I had this with my old GTX 560Ti! And when I first built my system It was fine, it just happned one day.

7970 is way faster than a 560 ti. You have to change your CPU. Stop trying to deny what is fact, an I3 cannot handle most demanding games, can't you upgrade it? I am sure it will be much faster.

I would say a 3570k would be a good choice.

I will say what everyone is saying, that is pretty weak CPU for gaming. But I think this is ram issue more than CPU. My old build had similiar symphtoms with 4gb of ram. Nice steady fps and annoying minilag. I had to bood pc everytime I wanted to play BF3. Otherwise it came unplayable.

You mentioned Hdmi somewhere, i'm surprised many people are saying its a bottleneck, it's cant be because of a bottleneck if he is getting 60+ fps, what's the refresh rate of your monitor. I'm damn sure that the problem is with your monitor, coz there's no other reason you would get laggy gameplay over 60+. Try a friend's monitor or any different display on the house, you mentioned you used a TV too, but then again you must've used a HDmi cable, the problem is the refresh rate you're monitor is running on.

[Chavez300]

is your computer running your monitors in the right  refresh rate?

What worked for me was lowering the "report rate" Hz for my mouse. Set it at 250Hz or less. Mine was at 1,000, and despite my PC being very powerful my screen was skipping when looking around. Lowering it solved it right away.
