Hey thank you for the reply. I actually have an SSD already but what is GFX and do you think there is bottleneck by my Cpu? I would love to know what GFX is.Thanks

no there is not a bottleneck there

Most Mobo's only have one 16x slot and the rest are 8x. Most likely he just has one 16x and one 8x.

Per MSI and retail sites like Newegg, both the top and middle slots can run at x16 when running just a single card. The MSI website says it has two Gen3 slots both at x16 and 1 Gen 2 slot at x4.

I've been saying from the start that he probably has a bad MOBO. His PSU and GPU both work fine when used in another system and he's tested with multiple monitors. Only option left is a bad MOBO, but I responded in a PM that he can try a clean install of Windows as one last troubleshooting test in case it's some odd registry or DX .dll issue.

Hi everyone I am ahving a huge problem with my computer. I am getting constant stutter between 59 and 60 fps and the screen keeps stuttering. I have figured out that the problem is not my video card by testing it in another system and the probelm still happened when I put a Saphire Radeon card. But the Saphire Radeon card did not have the problem as bad and it required less power. But the problem was still there and I have no idea how to fix it. I also downloaded Gpu-Z and it says the slot is 16x but it is running at 8x. The video card is not in the slot closest to the Cpu but that slot is blocked. I also tried putting it in the one other slot that was open and the problem was exactly the same. I would love if anybody could tell me software of hardware problems that I might have.  I have tried the card in all other slots and nothing has been fixed so I have no idea what to do

 

Thanks in Advance

Please tell em anything else that you might need to know or any tests that you want me to run!

 

update these drivers ASAP

oh also check out your CPU temps, make sure that you have a stable OC or none whatsoever also make sure the cpu has the cooler properly seated and the thermal compound you chose is sufficient, if your cpu starts to overheat it could possibly throttle itself , also same with your GFX cards make sure they are at a stable OC or none , make sure you have the latest video/motherboard drivers /bios updates/ etc / make sure your using geforce experience with the Nvidia card. could be a driver conflict with the amd card do a clean wipe of windows 8.1 it will help with direct x 11.1 which i believe is supported on the nvidia 760 , i know it is on the 780's.  if all else fails replace the motherboard sadly

Try resetting the bios. Leave it at default and test again your games.

So I have already updated the Bios and nothing has changed. I have tried many different Video card drivers and again nothing has changed None of the Temps ever get over 70 on either the Cpu or the Gpu. How can I reset the Bios? Will that actually do anything if updating it did nothing?

"x16-x0-x4 or x8-x8-x4" mnetioned in tom's hardware review of it so like ram unfortunately it run x8 if you stick it in the 2nd slot no matter if the main slot is unoccupied.

 

You may be able to fiddle with the slots speed in bios but most likely you either gonna have to live with it or change your cpu cooler setup.

Have you monitored the graphics card in afterburner while playing the game(s) that stutter? Look to see if there is unusual usage or memory spikes

I do not know, however if your having issues with frame rate specifically it would mean that the signals are not being properly transferred to the GPU.

Ok so it is basically something wrong with my motherboard. That is good to know. So I guess i will get a new one. Do you guys know any good motherboards that have 4 ram slots and 3 6gb/sec sata connectors and that have 2 Pci16x slots and have a LGA 1155 slot that is not to expensive?

If you are going to use the same cooler which I guess is blocking the your slot I suggest getting a mobo with a x1 pice slot above the the x16 slot. That would mean that your slot is one level down which then should have clearance for your card to be plugged in.

Cool I will try that later tomorrow since it is late here

 

Is there any way that I can tell if they are damaged?

well most mobos have all of there slots x16 in 3.0 with (1) card if you add a second then the other slots go down to 8x or 4x depending upon how old/cheap they are are currently my MB runs both cards at 3.0 x16 because i spent alot of moolah but it works haha. honestly that part doesnt really matter its just raising the cealing to hit a bottleneck it may not even help with performance unless you are throwing crazy scenarios at it like 4k gaming with 3 or 4 titans or something dumb. check each stick individually in each DIMM and see what happens. you said your temps were good so thats ok,. make sure everything is running at stock.

next try wiping the operating system and reinstalling ONLY the geforce experience drivers /regular drivers of course. on Win 8.1! with direct x11.1 it helps alot with performance of gtx 7xx series cards so do it ! if you dont like the look you can make it look like Win 7 with Classic shell its free and i use it on my win 8.1

try reseating the CPU or try with another PSU if thats an option for you

also try disabling onboard video if you can

next need a new motherboard man =[ get ready to RMA =[ sorry.

look for blown capacitors or poofing ones thats a bad sign also

I have monitored my graphics and also I got a score of 800 in Unigine heaven benchmark with Extreme tesselations. I have tried using windows 8 an nothing has changed when I tried it so I went back to Windows 7

I don't know what to say, either believe the manual or Tom's. :/ Read the whole page to see what they found out.

Ok I will read that and see what I see. You are probably right buit do you think that maybe there is still a problem with my motherboard?
