Someone must of had this problem in the past and fixed it? Thanks.

This is so frustrating, I just can't seem to get to the bottom of it, I think it may be some setting somewhere like you say that is causing it, maybe I can tinker with the AMD Catalyst settings but I'm unsure on what to change. How would I find out my CPU temp? A few stutters happened yes but it happened to run quite smooth, i'll try get another set when it's at it's worst. ---------- Post added at 11:49 ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 ---------- Yeah, tried the no logs parameter, I've tried a whole bunch of different launch options but nothing works. I'll give that a go, cheers.

It isn't the GPU as I upgraded and the problem was still there. ---------- Post added at 18:10 ---------- Previous post was at 18:06 ---------- g Here are some screenshots: Is there anything there that you can see that might be causing this? This is while playing the DayZ Mod on Arma 2. I played Arkham Origins single player the other day and there was a slight stutter at times as well.

Thanks for the reply mate. My full specs are: CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivy Bridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit Graphics Card: 7970 HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive - HDD SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive OS: Windows 7 64Bit Monitor: Asus VN247H 23.6-inch Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) ATX Motherboard The SSD seems to have fixed the stutter on DayZ standalone but like I said the problem still persists on Arma and the DayZ Mod on Arma 2? I did what you said but I don't really know what is normal and what isn't? Shall I take a screenshot of Afterburner while I am in game? All my drivers are up to date and the problem has always been here since I first built my computer so I don't think it's a driver problem. I did mention if I should update my BIOS as I haven't done that, could that be a problem? it's always seemed to much of a daunting task so I have left it haha. Could there maybe be a setting in the CCC (AMD software) that is making this occur? What seems to happen is I'll get a steady frame rate of 60 FPS and then it will drop to about 45 causing a stutter, it's only a millisecond but it happens quite a lot and it's so frustrating, once you notice it, that's all you focus on. When it comes to in game settings, I've tried having them really low and really high but it doesn't change anything. It is worth noting this does not happen on games like Titanfall and BF4.

I bought an SSD and have installed it today and the problem is still there, so infuriating. ---------- Post added at 18:12 ---------- Previous post was at 17:55 ---------- Putting DayZ Standalone on the SSD seems to have fixed it? But Arma 3 and Arma 2 I still get the problem.

Yeah mate. 5.9 is my score, the HDD is the lowest of all the components.

I experience it in other games as well such as Borderlands 2, Rust and Arkham Origins which is single player and I get it a little bit. I can run pretty much everything on full, as I said my FPS is smooth apart from the FPS spikes.

The thing is I tested that out mate and started my PC with no programmes running and no background interference but the problem still persists, I don't think my system is that dusty either as it's only a year old and I check it regularly. All my drivers are up to date as far as I'm aware? I haven't updated my BIOS though since I've had my PC as I'm scared to do it, looks very technical haha, do you think that could have an impact?

Thanks for the reply Ezcoo. I have read quite a few times that an SSD would greatly improve my situation but I want to make sure it is that before spending over £100. Tbh though I can't think what else it can be? My GPU and CPU are more than capable enough, I have enough RAM so maybe I should just go for it?

Hi all, Basically I have had this problem since forever! I can't seem to get rid of it, I even upgraded to a 7970 GPU and the problem still persists. This happens in Arma 3/DayZ/Arma 2, basically anything Arma related. I can play BF and TitanFall for example with no problems at all. The problem is every 30 seconds or so I will get this tiny little bit of lag/FPS spike which only lasts a milli-second but it's very annoying and noticeable and really ruins my experience, sometimes it can go a couple minutes without it happening but the problem is always there and comes back. I can run them flawlessly besides this little stutter, it will be a steady 50 FPS then quickly drop then shoot back up again. I have updated all my drivers, messed with the in game settings, turned off Anti Virus and Firewall, set Arma as High Priority in Task Manager, disabled all start up programmes etc but the problem never goes away. My specs are: i5 CPU 7970 GPU 8GB RAM 1TB HDD Windows 7 I've had this problem for a year now and really want to get to the bottom of it, can anyone shed any light on this problem? Thanks a lot.

Cheers for the reply, I only have the reply to thread option? EDIT - There we go, obviously you need a minimum of two posts, it's appeared now. Thanks!

Hi, how do I create a thread? It's driving me mad as I can't find the option anywhere!
