usually a frustrating experience when something begins to stutter you don't
want to happen while you're trying www post Techquickie when you're shifting
gears to manual car or worst of all in the middle of a big match and while it
seems like pc gamers are locked into constant battle with their bank accounts
to buy the hardware that will give them the highest frame rates possible many
people still experience stutters and hitching even on high-end systems that
seemingly should be able to run just about anything without breaking a sweat
so why does this happen well it turns out the frame rates aren't the only
factor that will determine how buttery smooth or uh salady choppy your gaming
experience will be you also need consistent frame times to avoid game
breaking lag in the form of stuttering think of it this way suppose you're
driving between atlanta and charlotte a 240 mile trip and you want to get there
in four hours one way to do it would just be to drive to smooth easy 60 miles
per hour but if you have a death wish and a lot of money to give to the cops you could
drive for two hours going one mile an hour and the other two going
119. assuming you arrived in charlotte alive
you took the same amount of time to get there either way but the second option
was probably far less pleasant unless you really love just stomping all the
pedals in your car so this is what's happening when you get
inconsistent frame times your graphics card could be spitting out the nice
smooth 60 frames per second you covet when you check fraps
but instead of each frame being displayed on your screen for the same amount of time
some frames might stay on the screen for far longer than they should
so why do these huge variations happen even on powerful hardware well spikes in
frame time that cause noticeable stuttering are usually because of high
latency with some tasks your graphics card is trying to accomplish and i'm not
just talking about trying to render a scene that suddenly become more
processor intensive because an explosion just happened or something
that usually manifests as a drop in frame rate that makes your game look
less smooth but not as stuttering instead things that can cause actual
latency include problems with your drivers not being optimized well for a
certain game your GPU having to suddenly pull a bunch of assets at once from your
video memory issues with a pci express bus that can
be caused by poor motherboard design or something like an adapter putting lots
of data through it or even delays while your gpus talk to each other to attempt
to sync up properly if you're rocking two or more video cards on that note
inconsistent frame times are an especially common issue with sli and
crossfire setups and because poor frame times aren't a direct result of how
difficult it is for your GPU to crunch numbers and render the frame simply
turning down your in-game settings may not help in the same way it would if
you're just trying to get more FPS so then is there a way to fix this
problem well it's difficult to recommend a universal solution since poor frame
times are often specific to a certain game on a certain model or brand of
graphics card but some gamers have have success limiting the frame rate outside
of their games using either the default settings program or a third party
utility this can be helpful if your high frame times are being caused by hardware
bottlenecks like a busy GPU that can't handle all the requests your CPU is
making but this also means you may have to settle for a less visually appealing
experience meaning this problem can be a tough nut to crack especially if your nutcracker
costs 500 and is aggressively overclocked
so have you ever had to control multiple computers at once but hated dealing with
the tedious switching between different keyboard and mouse combos well then
check out synergy 2 it's designed to be easier to use and more seamless than
synergy one synergy is a mouse and keyboard sharing software it works on
Windows mac and Linux computers you get features like the ability to share from
anywhere where you can automatically control any other computer without
reconfiguring it ssl encryption to protect your keystrokes from attackers
and dynamic networking which detects the best route automatically based on your
setup it always runs in the background on all operating systems so you can set it and
forget it you also get a cloud bridge which allows you to use synergy across
vpns and tricky home networks and if you get the pro version you get
access to other cool features like clipboard sharing drag and drop files
copy paste lock screen sync and lots more so check out synergy 2 today at the
link below okay guys thanks for watching techwiki
