Microstuttering tests on ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

gosh, Going by the thread you started on AMDzone would it be right to say that you believe the problem to be caused by Intels "schizophrenic behavior" and a cache problem?

And I quote;

Is less more?

Is 50 FPS more than 100 FPS if it is stable?

If you have a computer that can do 100 FPS, there is no way that the eye can see any problems there. The monitor can only show 60 FPS. But if the processor dips a misses 5-6 frames because it is jammed somewhere (maybe the FSB). Will you notice that the game doesn’t have a smooth flow even if the FPS is sky high?

Could it be that Phenom doesn’t need as much fps as intel because phenom doesn’t have that schizophrenic behavior. Intel is fast when data is in the cache, if it isn’t in the cache it is slow.
