GTX 970 GPU usage spikes and Frame Rate drops

Hi all, anyone having the same issue?
I'm playing a relatively low(?) graphic intensive game ( League of Legends ) and this also happens in the sims 4. I have The Crew and this issue does not happen so frequently. Could anyone kindly assist to provide me some info on this?
My driver version is the latest (347.25)
My system specs are:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
ASUS P8Z77-V Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40 GHz
CORSAIR VENGEANCE 12 gig ram ( 3*4g )
MSI GTX 970 4G Gaming
Corsair Force GT SCSI 120 gig (SSD for OS)
Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1tb (HDD for Games,Videos etc..)
SeaSonic M12II Bronze 620W
If anyone needs any more information please let me know... Sorry for my English as it is not my native tongue...

CORSAIR VENGEANCE 12 gig ram ( 3*4g ) <-- that will cause a performance hit as you will be in single channel on the memory not dual channel! (on that platform you need even numbers of sticks and a odd amount will force single channel only (for max performance its 2 or 4 slots populated))
it could possibly be contributing to you issue!
Badboy2k first of all thanks for the very quick response! Secondly, does it mean that I would have to pluck out 1 of them? And is there any order or position I have to place them in? I had 4 sticks but 1 of it was spoilt so I took it out...

  • JMF Dimension and frame rate

    Why I'm not getting success when I try to determinate the Dimension and frame rate of the VideoFormat passing the parameters to the constructor ?

    Skype is generally on autopilot.  I believe 1920x1080 (1080p) would be the max resolution as far as I can recall.  If the Internet connection isn't good enough at both ends, it will drop down to the resolution the call can handle.  The max resolution of the mobile device would be dependent on the hardware and the Skype client.  The webcam resolution compatibility is sometimes dependent on the version Skype.  Some people achieve better compatibility with the desktop version 6.1 vs the current 6.3.  If you want to monitor the resolution you can view the call technical info.  It will display the current resolution of both feeds and other call stats.
    This external site has some good info on it, though a bit dated, it should provide some insight.  I'm not sure if any of the mobile resolutions have been updated greater than 320x240.

  • Frame rate drops on 1410 and 1405 cards.

    Hi-
    I am using a 1410 and a 1405 card. 
    I am experiencing a problem of dropped frame rates while using imaqGrab function.  I am putting this in a timer control ( just like hlGrab example provided with nivison) and get really high frame rates and then a drop to really low frame rates.  The drop seems to be at consistant intervals.  I have tried using each card independantly to isolate problem.  Happens with each card independatly.  I have tried using a buffer and not using a buffer.  Timer control on UIR is set to 0.000 for timer interval so should be happening as fast as possible.  Anyone have any ideas? 
    Blue

    Hi  Blue,
    How do you see the frame rate drop and how do you
    measure
    it? What is the expected frame rate in your application?
    Thanks and have a
    great day.

  • Motion 5 Frame Rate Dropping

    So I'm using motion 5.0.7 on my 2010 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and no other applications open and when I play video footage at 1080p at 25fps in the playback window, even if I have done nothing in the way of editing it, the frame rate drops to 7fps and lower. This is particularly frustrating as the video tends to 'jutter' when playing back?
    Any solutions?

    Well, laptops don't have the most powerful GPUs in them, which is an issue for Motion.  What is the duration of this project?
    Go to the Render menu (top right in Canvas) and make sure you turn off all functions you don't need (lights, shadows, etc) and drop the quality and resolution settings a bit lower.

  • Gtx 970, Core Clock Spike Normal?

    Is it normal for my gpu1 core clock to have small, consistent spikes?  http://i.imgur.com/8DcQxY7.png?1
    I recently updated my drivers since some older drivers would make the fan in the msi gtx 970 4g have consistent spikes.  Looks like that's gone, but I'm not sure if this is normal for my core clock.
    EDIT:  Derp... that's the fan tachometer, sorry.  Looks like it's still having the same problems.  Has anyone found a fix for this yet?  I know I can rollback to 344.16... I've been using that up until now, but I had to update to 344.75 in order to use Physx on High on Borderlands 2.  This sucks :(.

    It is a vell known problem. There is a fix and it is also anounced through this forum. You should update your bios for your MSI GTX 970 card. Please see this thread: Fix for GTX970/980 Fans Randomly Turning On issue

  • System heat up and frame rate reduces to 5 fps approx. while playing FIFA 12

    The game works very well in first 2 minutes of startup but after that the fan speed increses abnormally and hard disk also heats up. this is followed by reduced frame rate about 5 fps which makes it very difficult to play the game. While this problem is not seen with earlier versions of FIFA 09 and FIFA 10.
    I am using HP-Pavilion dv4 1204tu laptop. 3GB ram. Windows Vista SP1 32-bit. and Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelator Series 4.

    Interesting, and yet the video card worked beautifully through Mac OS X 10.5.x and 10.6.x until 10.6.5 came along. And the game binary hasn't changed, so the problem must be with the OS.
    Further, if I understand the hierarchy of responsibilities in the software correctly, it's not surprising that the game worked with a video card it may not have listed as supported: Apple supplies an OpenGL library, and compatible drivers for the video cards it sells (that would include my video card, of course), and the games use the OpenGL library to do their graphics. So there's an Apple-supplied abstraction layer (or two) between the game and the video card. In principle, the game doesn't need to know what type of video card is present; just which of the many of the OpenGL features the OpenGL library supports, and whatever the OpenGL library allows it to discover about a video cards' functionality. That way, game developers don't have to create separate versions of their games, or huge amounts of their own video card abstraction code, in order to write a game that's compatible with all of the many video cards on the market at any given time, and all of the new video cards that will come along after the game is published. (I believe my ATI Radeon HD 4870 falls into the latter category.)

  • Wav sound and frame rate problem

    I have a wav file sound that I'm using within a movie clip in
    the movie clip's timeline. When I test the movie from within Flash
    (command-return), everything works great. When I publish and view
    online, here's what happens.
    If I click a button to move to another frame in the movie
    while the sound is playing, the frame rate speeds up and the movie
    gets a "fast forward" look to it until the sound ends. If I click a
    button when the sound is not playing, everything is fine. Am I
    missing something in the publish settings? Do I need to stop the
    sound in AS3 on the CLICK events (and if so, how)?
    Thanks,

    You will have to use Compressor...and the Advanced Conversion settings...DVCPRO HD 720p24. But you will also need to go into the FRAME controls in the INSPECTOR and make sure that you make it progressive and that you changes all the settings to better or best. This means that it will take a while, but it will look better.

  • What do the "Automatic" settings do for Frame size and Frame rate in Compressor 4.1.1?

    Can anyone tell me, very specifically and with technical detail, what the "Automatic" settings do (in Compressor 4.1.1) for the following setting attributes: (1) Frame size and (2) Frame rate
    Thank you!

    Hi, in addition to Russ's advice for the VIDEO PROPERTIES in the Inspector, you might consider the "automatic" options being proposed by compressor.app V4.1.x as OPTIMAL for the destination codec you have specified that deviate (or differ in some way) form the MASTER (source) from where your are transcoding. There's no real TECHNICAL detail. These UI values simply are passed as parameters to the codec. The image/audio results can be PREVIEWed ofcourse in the compressor.app V4.1.x UI (Current PAne) ... us the slider and the timeline to determine final taste!
    Suggested Examples may include:
    REDUCED frame rate for a slower device or stream or bit rate or destination dleivery platform
    reduced bit rate for older devices
    smaller FRAME SIZE for say SD devices specified
    INCREASED frame size with added "padding" in a situation like LETTERBOXING (4:3 in a 17:9 for example.. may others)
    ye old PAL to NTSC conversion
    inter-frame group of pictures (GOP) for distribution.
    Scaling
    retiming
    cropping verses scaling
    or simply what compressor.app "thinks" would work best - usually the best for most work.
    others will have many more suggestions.
    Also note that there are some nice  overidding settings in the inspector/Video for resizing and retiming and Cropping you might consider.
    For client based production distributions, many of us use CUSTOMISED settings. You may create and delete these on an AS NEEDED basis.
    Lastly, There's likely a good write up the defaults in the latest Compressor.app V4.1 Users Guide PDf - you might want to pull it down from http://manuals.apple.com and shove it in ibooks.app. I recommend getting a copy. Also get the latest FCPX 10.1 Users Guide and Motion while you're there. Great for iPAD and iPHONE too if you get bored.
    FWIW.

  • Multiple formats and frame rates in one sequence

    i have material shot on many different cameras. it includes PAL and NTSC, HD and SD, 24, 25, 30, and 60 fps, ProRes, DCVProHD, DVCam, etc etc. the final product is going to HD in both NTSC 24fps and Pal 25fps, for NatGeo domestic and international.
    the roughs are already done with this hodgepodge. my job is to clean up the audio (done), and send the video out in for color, titles, and graphics. i'm trying to get at least the frame rates to match at 24, much of it is already in 24 dvcprohd or prores, so i have been doing quicktime exports of the non-dvcprohd/prores video to prores, then conforming to 24p in cinema tools, then overlaying the clips in the sequence with a fit to fill edit. sync has not been a problem, miraculously, even though the speeds end up between 100 and 125 percent.
    am i doing anything right, and if not, what's a preferable way to handle this mess? i tried media manager initially but nothing would relink, so i gave up and started doing the clips individually as stated above.
    all i know for sure is that whatever i end up doing, they're not paying me nearly enough.

    Hi Shane - Thanks for getting back to me! I figured I'd have to compress it, but
    my question is - how? Initially, I used MPEG Streamclip to import the 23.98 dvd footage in as a DV/DVC Pro QT at 100% Best Quality. I then imported those files into FCP. After getting your e-mail, I went to export the files into Compressor (from FCP), and I'm only given 5 setting choices under "QT." I'm not sure which one to select . . . Uncompressed 10 bit? Any ideas? Again, thanks so much!!!

  • Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

    Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
    When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
    1280x720
    frame rate of 23.976
    using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
    "embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
    When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Mike

    Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

  • Slow motion and frame rate and shutter speed

    I have two cameras that record 60i and three that use 30p. Neither of the 60i cameras has a 30p option (one has a pf30).  If I understand how FCPx handles this, if I drop both frame rates into a project, I get 30p out, correct?  In effect de-interlacing the 60i footage to 30p. Is it best to import the 30p footage first to set that frame rate so that the 60i gets rendered to 30p?
    We're producing a fishing DVD so good quality motion footage is important. This is an instructional DVD so I will be using some retiming to slow footage down to illustrate key points in the instruction.
    I've read a lot of stuff on 1080i 60i vs. pf30 vs.30p vs. 24fps and benefits of using 720p vs. 1080i.  Also looked at information on slow vs. fast shutter speeds.
    So, the bottom line to get the best motion results for the DVD, I should be shooting at best bit rate possible, use 1080i 60i or 30p depending on the camera and let FCPx set everything to 30p.  Correct?

    For the 1080/60i media, it is best to have FCPX conform it to 30p (29.97p). [30p is a real timing: 30 exact frames per second, but it is not broadcast compliant. 29.97 is quite often simply referred to as 30, just for simplicity and/or laziness. The final decision for which to use rests with you. Also note, like "30 fps", 60 more often refers to 59.94 fps... for the same reasons.]
    As for your target being DVD: DVD is always 480 lines whether it is anamorphic (16:9) or standard 4:3. If you would like to have "enhanced" slow motion, my recommendation would be to shoot in 720/60p (which is genuinely progressive "60" frames per second) and will give a slightly better edge on slow motion effects (retiming). That said, FCPX retiming is usually quite good no matter what the frame rate (frame blending recommended over optical flow [which tends to give a "morphing" effect when pushed too far].)  1280x720 frame size will give you plenty of downsampling resolution for DVD as well.  [I *believe* that FCPX will use all of the 60fps available from the original video in retiming, even if the frame rate of the project is slower than the original media; so, 720/60p conformed to a 30p project and retimed to 50% will use every frame of the 60p slowed down by half... (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!)]
    Best bitrate is also an important feature, but that is not due to the choice of format as much as that provided by the camera itself. Bitrates out of the camera may be relative to the frame size (they are in my consumer camcorders). A common consumer grade camcorder will top out at a bitrate (for 1080) somewhere between 17.5 and 22.5 Mbps, whereas an HD capable DSLR will usually top out at (easily) *twice* as much (45Mbps average from my Canon T4i) or more. Furthermore, the DVD standard imposes framerate restrictions (max is somewhere between 5 and  8Mbps -- the software that creates your DVDs will usually transcode for best bitrate, so not something you really need to bother with - just set the transcoder to best possible quality and provide it with the best quality video that's reasonable.) Whichever camera provides the highest bitrate should be your "main" camera.
    As you may have discovered: another factor for a quality video regardless of camera is shutter speed. If you set the shutter speed too high (faster than twice the frame rate) then you will have "stuttering" issues (there will be "gaps" from still frame to still frame). Keep the shutter speed at the same or no more than twice the frame rate: e.g., for 1080/30p (target) the shutter speed should never be more than 1/60th of a second (I'll use 1/30th, 1/40th, or 1/50th usually). I haven't shot a lot of 720/60p, but I think I would still keep the shutter speed at between 1/60th and 1/120th exclusively [that is -- I wouldn't go as high as 1/120th or greater... but that's me... you should experiment for best results for you.  If this creates exposure issues, then consider neutral density filters or circular polarizing filters to help bring scenes into exposure range (via aperture or iso or both.)

    Good luck! Have a good shoot!

  • Slow Motion and Frame Rates?

    Hi I have a Sony NEX-VG20EH camera and it has an adjustable frame rate. I have put the frame rate on 8000 and recorded some footage. When i load it into Premiere it is still showing as 50.00 fps. I want to do some slow motion stuff but when i slow it down to 10% it is still quite "jumpy". Any ideas?

    While many cameras DO offer the ability to "overcrank" for a short duration, such as to capture a golf swing in slow-motion, I looked at the specs for your camera and don't see that feature listed.
    Raising the shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a shorter duration during the exposure of each frame of video. At slow shutter speeds, fast motion will look blurred on a freeze frame or during slow playback, because the subject moved quite a bit during the time the shutter was open. A fast shutter will "freeze" each moment in time clearly, but also lowers light sensitivity, so best used outdoors in good light.
    It can be fun to play with shutter speeds - on my honeymoon, I was shooting the airplane prop out my window and cranked up the shutter speed until the prop STOPPED and I could read the serial number off of it in my viewfinder!! Note this was in the old days with CCD sensors - the new CMOS sensors have skew which warps the image in many cases.
    Note that very high shutter speeds will result in choppy motion, so only use as needed.

  • Which format and frame rate should I use?

    So I have worked here and there with final cut to make videos for live projections at music shows, but now I want to take it more seriously. Since I have done it randomly I didn't mind taking the time to render constantly and figure it out as I go. But now I want to work on larger projects, like making music videos, a little more consistently and want things to run a little faster.
    Basically I have about 200 gb of random footage. Or about 400 little videos. Very little of it is actually shot with a camera on my own. Most of it is collected video from either other people, or downloaded off the internet. Tons of things that are in the public domain that I want to use. My videos are pretty fast paced, almost seizure inducing sort of effects. I layer videos with each other and throw filters on everything. The problem is, the rendering is taking so much time out of everything. Is there a way for me to get around the rendering? Either by a certain setting within final cut, or just by converting all my video to one format? If I had to I would invest the time to convert every single video I have to some sort of format that would allow me to work faster. If so, which format should I use? Frame rate? etc.
    I would just like to get this out of the way so in the future I can convert videos to the right format. Just to allow some sort of flow within my workspace.

  • FCE4 and frame rate issues

    Hi All,
    I'm totally new to FCE and video editing in general, and have dived in with two feet. I'm trying to edit some screencasts I have produced. My main aim is to cut out dead sections of the screencast and add a voiceover to them. I tried various screencast-specific bits of software, but they didn't seem to allow much in terms of editing, and one (Camtasia Mac) decided to eat a day's worth of work by corrupting the saved file.
    So, I thought I'd grab a copy of FCE and give that a try. I've bought Tom Wolsky's FCE4 Editing Workshop Book (whose name lead me to this forum). I was also quite interested in the voiceover feature that FCE has, as that should come in useful as that is the main reason I'm editing these screencasts in the first place.
    The main issue's I've been having is that FCE is intended for DV editing, and I'm trying to edit a screencast, so I'm going slightly against the flow here. e.g. my screencast was captured using QT X at 1024x768. Which FCE can't deal with (I only found out after buying FCE... I head FCP can deal with non-DV standard frame sizes, but it beyond my budget). So I've been using MPEG streamclip pretty successfully to convert the H.264 source into Apple Intermediate scaled down and padded to 1280x720. I can then export from FCE back into Apple Intermediate and into MPEG Streamclip to crop off the pillarboxes and save to the final output format.
    I've come to the conclusion that as long as I can get my source material into what FCE expects from a DV cam then it seems to handle it OK.
    Some of the test clips I imported into FCE seemed to work fine, but then the longer full length source (about an hour) had trouble. The speed had gone all funny. I looks like the screencast source is at around 4.6fps and FCE decided that it should really be 46fps! One of the test clips appeared to be 5fps, and FCE seemed to be OK with that and kept it at 5fps.
    I'm currently re-converting the source with MPEG Streamclip to 29.97fps and hopefully that will import OK (even though it is taking ages to convert and I'm writing this sitting here patiently!).
    So was wondering if anyone know what the deal is with frame rates in FCE. Why does it sometimes seem happy with my low 5fps rate, and sometimes it decides it should be 10x faster. And does anyone else have any further comments or suggestions/tips about using FCE for editing screencasts?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Tom, thanks for the help. I'm currently running it through Streamclip now as I type. Hopefully that should sort it. I guess screen capture software use a lower frame rate as they don't need to have a high frame rate usually for the stuff they are doing.
    -Matt
    PS. btw... great book! Certainly helped me get orientation around FCE. Definately needed as I had no experience of video editing and the workflows and terminology is all foreign!

  • World of warcraft/Diablo 3 frame rate drop to about 25% of normal frame rate and I have to reset SMC to get it back to original. But this happens once every 2-5 days. Is this normal!?

    I purchased a 15 inc retina mac book pro in Sep 2012 and everything has been perfect except when I started to play world of warcraft and Diablo 3. After I first installed the games, their frame rates were so bad and the games were un-playable (<10fps). So I spent quite a bit of time searching on the internet and eventually found a solution which is to reset the SMC of the machine. I did this and everything was fantastic, frame rates go up to 30-60 fps on the same settings. However I then realise that I have to reset SMC every few days as the framerate become bad again and again. The frame rate doesn't drop gradually. It is sudden - yesterday the games were fine, today when I turn on the computer they become unplayable.
    Any help is appreciated - I tried to contact apple by going through the solution process they have on the website but it just asks me to take the computer to the apple store but I don't have time to do so. It will be great if there is a phone number I can call.
    Cheers
