I3 4130 Slowdown? - bushida87 - 03-11-2016
I have random slowdowns in smg and donkey Kong Returns and other games. The internal Resolution is only 1,5. I use dx12. AA is Turn off
My Hardware
Intel i3 4130
4 GB RAM
Geforce Gt 630
So where is the Problem?

Your GPU . Both two games are graphically demanding titles
GT 630 has 3 versions : the newer architecture Kepler that has super low memory bandwidth (14.4GB/sec) , the rest are based on older architecture Fermi , one is GDDR5 which is fine and the other is DDR3 bad . Fermi cards don't support Dx12 , you won't get any speed boost over Dx11 even if you use it . Kepler and newer card such as Maxwell supports Dx12 but Kepler version of GT 630 has low memory bandwidth which likely cause GPU bottleneck
And btw , if the random slowdown you're talking about is this

Initially, you'll get slight stutters, but as you play longer, it should go away.then nothing you can do to solve it . Usually , microstuttering only happens once for a while for only about 1-2 secs
Of course, any part of the game that requires the GPU to generate new shaders (new levels, new special effects, new "graphics", etc) will bring up microstuttering. Generally though, the more you play, the less it happens
