begins to stutter you don't want to happen while you're trying to be able to post tech quickie when you're shifting gears in the manual car or worst of all in the middle of a big match and while it seems like PC gamers are locked in the 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 the 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 salad the 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 it as 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 try for two hours going one mile an hour and the other two going a hundred and nineteen 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 loved 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 caused 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 C that suddenly become more processor intensive because an explosion just happened or something that usually manifests as a drop in framerate that makes your game look less smooth but not as stuttering instead things that can cause actual see include problems to 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 also 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 are 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 they 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 if you ever had to control multiple computers at once but hated dealing with the T is 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 1 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 for 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 ok guys thanks for watching tech quickie like this video if you liked it dislike Li if you
