Q: Stutter while gaming every 3-4 seconds in Windows using MacBook Pro 2012 (MacBook 9.1) using Windows 7

 

 

I'm using Windows with Bootcamp on my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro (Here is the config). Recently when I play a game, I get frequent (and somewhat constant) stutter every 2-3 seconds, no matter if it's a 2D or 3D game, no matter if I lower the graphic and resolution.

I've searched extensively in the past few days and finally went to ask it here. Things I've tried so far:

 

  1. GPU-Z shows GPU temprature of around 90 C when I have the stutter.
  2. In Process Explorer, I can see that GPU usage is 100%, even in lowest graphic settings of low resolution of a not-AAA game. (Lara Croft and Temple of Osiris for example and Ori and The Blind Forest)
  3. I've updated my nVidia drivers to the latest.
  4. I've uninstalled everything nVidia related and installed them again.
  5. I've disabled Audio and Network drivers (as I've read they can cause stutter in cases).
  6. I've tried DPC Latency Checker and mostly I see a spike when I observe a delay.

 

I'm very afraid to have hardware fault since where I live, we don't have Apple stores.

Also I've installed DS3 Driver to attach a PS3 controller to my PC, even though the controller was not attached during the tests, this might've affected the performance since I've read that stutter is caused by a driver having problem doing it's task on proper time frame.

 

Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
