New gaming PC issues...

Hello all,

Recently my family purchased me a prebuilt gaming desktop from the company Cyberpower as a birthday gift. It is well put together and uses pretty high end parts. Ever since I have had it I have been experiencing weird gaming issues. If a game has any kind of frame rate limiter on as default I get horrible juttering, and if I am able to turn it to unlimited I get insane framerates but terrible vertical tearing. Some games like Just Cause 2 and a few others simply lock up the system and it restarts. The only games that run flawlessly are Euro Trucker 2 and Battlfield 4. I tried contacting cyberpower support but the informed me it sounds like a software issue and not a hardware one. The system is...

Win8.1 64bit
Intel i7-5820 6 core 3.6ghz factory oc
MSI Mobo model MS-7885
16 gigs ddr4 quad channel memory
AMD Radeon R295x2 video card.
1 256gb SSD\
1 1TB HDD

I really appreciate any help in this as Im still new to all the PC gaming stuff. I didnt know where else to post this as I was unsure of what part might be wrong with it. Thank you.
 
Probably microstuttering. Since you're using Crossfire that's most likely your issue. I'm not sure with those cards since it's 2 GPU's on one actual board if you can disable the Crossfire but try disabling it in Catalyst Control Center and see if that works. I don't have much experience with Microstuttering and SLI/Crossfire but that's all I can offer. Somebody else can probably offer better guidance.
 
Ive started tinkering with CCC and if I disable Crossfire it remedies the issue. Im just now concerned if that means there is something wrong with the r295x2. It is a dual gpu card and dont know if it is supposed to run apps in crossfire.
 
Dual GPU is Crossfire. Crossfire is typically used with 2 identical cards and they share the processing power between the two. To achieve a very high end card sometimes manufacturers will make what is essentially two chips and put them on one card. This is the case with yours. So while you only have one card you are still running Crossfire.

Microstuttering is just a function of how the technology works. There isn't a whole lot you can do about it except disable Crossfire. Doing this of course will kill your performance since you're using about half of your GPU capability. New drivers will sometimes rectify microstuttering but a lot of the time there isn't much you can do about it.

Luckily that card is quite capable even when it's not Crossfired so you still should be able to run most games without any trouble. Make sure your drivers are up to date. You can also play around with VSync settings and stuff like that to see if you can get it to play nice. Like I said I have no direct experience with microstutter and this is pretty much all I know about it. Wish I could be of more help.
 
I've found that if you set the ingame fps to 59.4 or 60 exactly it remedies the issues. I'd search for commands on the games you play and set the ingame fps to 59.4 or 60, make sure v sync is on.

I only ever had the problem with battlefield 4, since fixed another way but I found that it worked.
