Odd, intermittent FPS drops with low GPU usage
Hi,
I'm running Windows 7 on an Intel i7-2720QM laptop with a GTX 580M graphics card, 8 gigs of RAM and a Samsung 850 SSD drive.
Game performs okay on the lowest settings, at 1080p resolution. ...
I FOUND THE CULPRIT!
"Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation", audiodg.exe caused the stutters.
Disabling the Windows sound effect engine solved the problem!
Here's how to do it:
Control Panel -> Sound -> [Select your primary audio device] -> Properties -> Enhancements-tab -> [x] Disable all sound effects.
(Or see the attached image)
