Getting jutter with Nvidia? Uninstall MSI Afterburner.

I had huge stutters recently, tried a bunch of stuff but after I uninstalled MSI Afterburner all the judders disappeared like magic.
Try it if you are using that software (or other overclocking variants).

Disable the power monitoring in Afterburner. That's enough to remove the stuttering.
(The stutters are exactly on the probing interval, increasing/decreasing has direct impact on the stuttering)
Also most do not have the problem with version 388.00.

Hi, what do you mean by switch power monitoring off? Do you mean if i uncheck the box in "monitoring" for power, thus removing power % from the graph will remove the stutter?
I too found that my computer was stuttering in vr with Afterburner on. I have been turning it off (not ideal) or playing with the polling rate of the monitoring.

i only had to disable the overlay from afterburner, you can not see it in the rift, but it makes eveything stutter

I never use the overlay. But i did sort it out with the advice above. By Unchecking therefore removing the power % from the graph, my stutter completely disappeared. I also noticed that when my pc is idle. My core number 7 always looked to be slightly on the heat graph. That has fixed and is now more or less the same graph as all the other cores at idle.

Correct.

Hi, I noticed lots of tracking stutters after nVidia v388.13 and/or latest windows update (Fall Creators Update)

The stuttering you are discussing on here are related to frametime variance, or tracking?

I ask because in my case, the problem is present when Oculus head tracking is involved. I have constant 90 fps, and if I leave my head steady, stutters are gone, but as I move my head to look at another place of the virtual world, the stutters are very disturbing, ruining the experience, even when the game is reporting constant 90 fps, so I suspect it's a tracking issue.

I tried Eleven table tennis, Robo recall and IL-2. The stutter is present even at Oculus Home. Tried Oculus drivers v1.19 and the latest public beta v1.20 with same results.

PS: Before the windows and driver updates, my OR was working better than ever 😞
PS2: I have MSI Afterburner installed and running, but monitoring was paused during the above tests. I will try disabling power monitoring as suggested.

Thanks.

 Go to this link at the bottom to bring you to this magical forum post.  Look at the comment from aisepos! His suggestion actually fixed everything. Oculus has never suggested this but now they will. This man is a genius and he actually figured out why I was having my problems... all 6 months of them.  I can’t guarantee it’s a cure all but I hope this helps you too and give him a shout if you see him. He is a God!!!! 

Thanks to everyone in their suggestions if they are reading this. I really appreciate all the help and working together to figure out these things for the community.

See you in the Rift!
