June 10, 201312 yr I've finally come around to build my X79 system and I quickly thought there was more stutters compared to my old P55 based system even thou the FPS was higher. Analyzing a few FRAPS recordings confirmed my suspicions. I tried a few things until I found the culprit. The BIOS/UEFI. My motherboard is an Asrock Extreme4 and it came installed with the 1.80 BIOS. It was update nr 6 dated 5 months from the launch BIOS. I upgraded to the latest 3.00 BIOS and the stutters improved a lot. I just want to get it out there that the BIOS/UEFI is capable of causing noticible stutters, so keep it updated.
