So... got my replacement card back a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was working fine, although I didn't have much time to use it because I've been pretty busy. Ended up downloading the new drivers that Nvidia released today that were supposed to give huge performance gains. Performance for me...

Yeah, really hope that fixes it. Thanks for the help though bad_kitty.

EDIT: Didn't notice at first you were replying to riverslq. But it's my GPU. Borrowed a GPU from a friend and that worked fine. Going to go ahead and RMA it. Going to take a few weeks to get it back, but I'll post on here once I get it back whether or not it helped. oh and @riverslq: I tried...

Yeah, I just have one card. I tried upping the voltage on the gpu a little bit through evga precision x, but it still stuttered.

Ok, I'll try that. But with these 780's I think they dynamically set the voltage level, and watching a video isn't really stressing the card at all, so I don't see how voltage would be an issue but I'll give it a shot.

Yeah already tried all default settings, been running with default settings for a while now.

Overclock was through bios. I already ran malwarebytes but will run it again tonight.

Okay, so I tried taking my graphics card out again and running off the onboard gpu. Fixed the issue. Watched movies for like 3 hours and not a single stutter. Not sure what to do about that though. I've tried doing a clean install of drivers. Tried reformatting my computer. Wonder if I should...

I don't have any other ram, but I reset back to factory default settings which puts the ram at 1333 MHz at 1.5v and it still stutters.

I already have the latest BIOS. Okay, so my DPC latency was a little off so I updated some drivers and a few other things and got my DPC latency to where it should be. It still stutters. So I noticed when it stuttered there was a spike in CPU usage. So I decided to record my desktop with a...

The problem is they don't offer a USB driver for Windows 8. I tried the Windows 7 driver but says it's incompatible and aborts installation.

Hmm, so I plugged my mouse and keyboard (deathadder 2013 and black widow ultimate 2013) into a USB 3.0 port and my USB driver DPC latency and execution time went way down. Nothing seems out of the ordinary now. Going to have to play some games and watch some movies and see if it fixed it.

Hmm, so started up LatencyMon and noticed something. The USB driver has a much higher DPC and Total Execution Time than any other drive. Like 10x as much as other drivers. Disconnected everything for keyboard and mouse and it's the same. For my motherboard (Asus Sabertooth z77) they don't have...

Yeah, I also found a tool I hadn't heard of before called LatencyMon that seems to give you more detailed info on latencies than that DPC tool. Will try that out tonight to see if I can isolate it to a specific driver. If that doesn't seem to help I'll run tomorrow and pick up a new PSU and see...

I think it starts as soon as I install Windows, although usually right after I install Windows I install drivers, so it could possibly be an issue with one of the motherboard drivers. I was just reading a post where someone was saying sometimes intel chipset drivers don't install correctly on...
