Hey guys

Welcome to the companion thread to my article on micro stutter. You can read over the article here: http://www.overclockers.com/index.ph...ds&Itemid=4266

So follow the instructions in the article and put down your results. I'll rewrite the posting format below so you don't have to switch pages

OS
CPU
Ram
Motherboard
Storage config (hard disks, SSD's, etc.)
Other expansion cards (RAID, sound, etc.)
PSU
GPU('s)
Graphics Driver version
Do you notice micro stutter subjectively?
Were you able to identify micro stutter objectively?

Eventually I hope that this forum will serve to identify possible causes and solutions for micro stutter, and show graphics card manufacturers that this IS a problem we observe and care about.

Note that this is not a discussion thread, I'll be making a discussion thread to go along side this. I know micro stutter is a touchy subject for a few of you and maybe you don't agree with my definition of it etc., but this is not the place to discuss it. If you have any question about an individuals setup, please PM them. DO NOT start asking questions in this thread.

And I will reiterate. RESULTS IN THE ABOVE FORMAT ONLY!

I'll update this first post should any particular trends start to show themselves.

Thanks guys, hopefully this will be helpful to you and the community as a whole.
