usually a frustrating experience when something begins to stutter you don't

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,160
want to happen while you're trying www post Techquickie when you're shifting

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:22,080
gears to manual car or worst of all in the middle of a big match and while it

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,600
seems like pc gamers are locked into constant battle with their bank accounts

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:29,519
to buy the hardware that will give them the highest frame rates possible many

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,000
people still experience stutters and hitching even on high-end systems that

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,719
seemingly should be able to run just about anything without breaking a sweat

10
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:43,120
so why does this happen well it turns out the frame rates aren't the only

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:48,559
factor that will determine how buttery smooth or uh salady choppy your gaming

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:53,199
experience will be you also need consistent frame times to avoid game

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:57,120
breaking lag in the form of stuttering think of it this way suppose you're

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,600
driving between atlanta and charlotte a 240 mile trip and you want to get there

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,119
in four hours one way to do it would just be to drive to smooth easy 60 miles

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:10,960
per hour but if you have a death wish and a lot of money to give to the cops you could

17
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:14,880
drive for two hours going one mile an hour and the other two going

18
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:18,640
119. assuming you arrived in charlotte alive

19
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,960
you took the same amount of time to get there either way but the second option

20
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,400
was probably far less pleasant unless you really love just stomping all the

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,400
pedals in your car so this is what's happening when you get

22
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,640
inconsistent frame times your graphics card could be spitting out the nice

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,920
smooth 60 frames per second you covet when you check fraps

24
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,479
but instead of each frame being displayed on your screen for the same amount of time

25
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,200
some frames might stay on the screen for far longer than they should

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:52,000
so why do these huge variations happen even on powerful hardware well spikes in

27
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,399
frame time that cause noticeable stuttering are usually because of high

28
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,240
latency with some tasks your graphics card is trying to accomplish and i'm not

29
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,079
just talking about trying to render a scene that suddenly become more

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,520
processor intensive because an explosion just happened or something

31
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,599
that usually manifests as a drop in frame rate that makes your game look

32
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,120
less smooth but not as stuttering instead things that can cause actual

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,599
latency include problems with your drivers not being optimized well for a

34
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,400
certain game your GPU having to suddenly pull a bunch of assets at once from your

35
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,560
video memory issues with a pci express bus that can

36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,080
be caused by poor motherboard design or something like an adapter putting lots

37
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,319
of data through it or even delays while your gpus talk to each other to attempt

38
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,480
to sync up properly if you're rocking two or more video cards on that note

39
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:43,519
inconsistent frame times are an especially common issue with sli and

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,360
crossfire setups and because poor frame times aren't a direct result of how

41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,519
difficult it is for your GPU to crunch numbers and render the frame simply

42
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,519
turning down your in-game settings may not help in the same way it would if

43
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,239
you're just trying to get more FPS so then is there a way to fix this

44
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,080
problem well it's difficult to recommend a universal solution since poor frame

45
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:07,920
times are often specific to a certain game on a certain model or brand of

46
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,680
graphics card but some gamers have have success limiting the frame rate outside

47
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,080
of their games using either the default settings program or a third party

48
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:20,400
utility this can be helpful if your high frame times are being caused by hardware

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,120
bottlenecks like a busy GPU that can't handle all the requests your CPU is

50
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,599
making but this also means you may have to settle for a less visually appealing

51
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,480
experience meaning this problem can be a tough nut to crack especially if your nutcracker

52
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,879
costs 500 and is aggressively overclocked

53
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:40,879
so have you ever had to control multiple computers at once but hated dealing with

54
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,040
the tedious switching between different keyboard and mouse combos well then

55
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:49,360
check out synergy 2 it's designed to be easier to use and more seamless than

56
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,560
synergy one synergy is a mouse and keyboard sharing software it works on

57
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:58,319
Windows mac and Linux computers you get features like the ability to share from

58
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,080
anywhere where you can automatically control any other computer without

59
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
reconfiguring it ssl encryption to protect your keystrokes from attackers

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,879
and dynamic networking which detects the best route automatically based on your

61
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,640
setup it always runs in the background on all operating systems so you can set it and

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,880
forget it you also get a cloud bridge which allows you to use synergy across

63
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,320
vpns and tricky home networks and if you get the pro version you get

64
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:26,720
access to other cool features like clipboard sharing drag and drop files

65
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,479
copy paste lock screen sync and lots more so check out synergy 2 today at the
