To me it seems most likely that the z68 chipset is the best candidate. The is still a possibility that amd's driver play's either a large or small roll depending on your findings this weekend. Let me know how it goes.

I will let you know. I have already found the findings I was looking for with my original test. I kid you not that the system was very very smooth with my cards. I will however post some sort of video to proove it.

One of the better articles that addresses micro stuttering is this article from Tom's Hardware. As far as I know eyefinity wasn’t tested. However they used a sandy-bridge platform and found that amd's cards where effected more by micro stuttering then nvdia's cards. This might be an indication that amd's gpu's are less 'compatible' with a Intel or at least a sandy bridge platform. Maybe using eyefinity magnifies this effect somehow. If the above is true then using an amd platform with amd gpu's should decrease micro stuttering, but not eliminate it entirely, because crossfire alone causes it, even when you play on one screen, although I personaly don't notice it.

yeah I guess.

As far as I know all sli/ crossfire systems cause a degree of micro stuttering. The kind of micro stuttering you get with AMD cards on sandy bridge systems however is nothing near average nor acceptable. its just broken .. Period.

I agree with Bushmaster, I think it is the drivers that needs to be fixed. One ati cards works but as soon as you do crossfire, BANG, the stuttering begins using sandy-bridge chipset. Bushmaster have you created a ticket to amd techsupport and tell them what was happening with your 6970 crossfire issues? My gtx580 sli runs great on my Asrock z68 extreme 7 board so I guess in the future I will be buying Nvidia cards now since I can not do ati crossfire on this board.

In fraps you can set "Frametimes" under "Benchmark" i realy wan't to see a Graph of micro stuttering !

If you don't want to..... can't.... just send me the frametimes.csv !

We gonna send it to outa space!

I probably will have time to record microstuttering with Fraps in the weekend.

Ok I see that... Ill try it. I know that last time I tried running a benchmark with fraps that it only ran it for about ten seconds. I do not have the stop benchmark box checked, so I don't know why it does that.
