NVIDIA Responds to Reports of Kepler V-Sync Stuttering Issue
Over the past month, users of NVIDIA GeForce Kepler-based graphics cards have been reporting intermittent stuttering in games, with v-sync enabled. A fairly long thread on NVIDIA forums formed the rally point of users noticing the issue, although the issues weren't universally reproduceable. Tom's Hardware sought a statement from NVIDIA on the issue. In its statement, NVIDIA said that it is looking into the issue, extensive testing has to be done, and that gamers noticing the issue should force v-sync to stay disabled via NVIDIA Control Panel.

We have received reports of an intermittent v-sync stuttering issue from some of our customers. We've root caused the issue to a driver bug and identified a fix for it. The fix requires extensive testing though, and will not be available until our next major driver release targeted for June (post-R300). For users experiencing this issue, the interim workaround is to disable v-sync via the Nvidia Control Panel or in-game graphics settings menu.

I hope they'll find and deliver a fix soon for who is affected.
GPU Boost
Adaptive V-Sync
Hopefully it gets fixed cause who wants to pay for a brand new card around $400+ not to get smooth game play without tearing.
People in development need to get there act together.
301.10 were the official 6xx series drivers. So if it works with Fermi and not Kepler makes no-sense at all.
Now this is suddenly a big issue, when the added extra code for adaptive v-sync made this more apparent to the lasermouse-kids, and they can't play "COD 732 MW:Whatever" and "BF27:The Revenge of the Lensflare" anymore.
I like Nvidia, and I understand that it must be a very hard task to maintain and organize an unified driver for such a vast ammount of chips and cards... but these are very expensive cards, and people are expecting nothing but the best for their money..... so NV should really focus more on their drivers imo.
Both AMD and Nvidia seem to have issues with their 28nm hardware, Nvidia moreso it seems by the lack of anything but the high-end GPUs.
But I agree on rather pricey. lol
In my case, Binary Domain and Sniper Elite V2 doesn't have stuttering issue with adaptive vsync. : P
It's pretty sad you posted that in the comment section of a computer hardware site. Makes no sense at all.
Here's your homework:
Google > define:enthusiast
Both companies have issues but that not the news topic now is it.
Guess I should take my 3 most recent video cards and send them back to Nvidia. :rolleyes:
If a company promotes a feature an breaks another, its not working properly when it launches. Consumers and potential consumers have a right to complain about said feature.
Don't be ignorant.
