HORRIBLE STUTTER LAG

Yep, this thing's dead.

My HD 6770 is being a pain in the ass.

Just recently, it developed a stuttering issue. I can't even play NFSU:2 on the lowest setting. Or any game. Not any kind of 3D game at least. This happens with every 3D game.

 

It'll bounce around at 60FPS for one second, then 2fps for 5 seconds, then 50FPS for 3 seconds, then 1FPS and the game will hang for 3 seconds, then continue at 60FPS.

 

Tried restarting and everything. 

 

GPU has been dying and is forced at 850mhz with no change or otherwise I vertical tears just by moving around the GUI in windows 8. I tried this on windows 7 with no drivers and it has the issue, so it's not a driver problem.

 

 

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

Run MSI Afterburner when you're playing to try and figure out what's going on. Is your GPU dropping down in load when it happens? Try some older drivers from AMD maybe.

 

That or your GPU is near enough dead, then you need a replacement ASAP

I've tried 12 different kinds of drivers. MSI afterburner recognizes there's a problem and locks the frequency at 850mhz. I can raise it and lower it. But when it fluctuates automatically, i get vertical tearing and black lines. 

 

Thing doesn't drop in load however, which is weird. 

 

Thing is on it's way out, I agree. Shame, I don't even have enough money to do my own laundry.

Hmm, odd for Afterburner to lock the clocks, it'll even adjust the 6100 my motherboard has all the way up to around 900MHz.

 

Set Afterburner to measure and display your GPU core clock, then see if that's changing at all, I've had times where MSI has only changed the 3D clocks so when the GPU goes into 2D/Desktop it halfs the clock speed I set.

It doesn't change clock period for some reason with MSI afterburner open. But when it opens, the vertical black line tearing stops.

I'd guess it's something to do with the GPU clock, then. I don't know if there's one for AMD, but I know for Nvidia someone made a small batch file that would lock the clocks at 3D speeds, but that might make the issue worse for you.

 

Maybe just set Afterburner to run at startup with your system and apply the overclock straight away, but it's looking like a new GPU is in order pretty soon

I have it enabled to lock the clock speed at 850mhz at boot, which is it's stock. So i'm having tons of issues with it.

Tried dropping it down to about 800MHz and seeing what happens? Gotta be worth a try

Ebay has really cheap HD7950s if you want something used for a bit.. Still wouldn't trust if they were used for mining or not but they're really nice for that price.

i found a pretty much unused HD 6850 on craigslist for $45. I'm entertaining the offer.
