Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

The first thing is to find out what is causing the latency problem. It could be hardware or software/drivers.

The problem is easilly fixed but finding the culprit can be more troublesome. Latency is caused by bad programming generally. There are various rules for how a program should access the core and if it doesn't follow these rules it can result in the core not being released for the next operation and this causes a bottleneck that backs up. The biggest headache from our perspective is that we have to find the rogue program/driver.

The best way to tackle this is to go to Task Manager and then in the Processes section stop all the processes that are not required for Windows to run. If you do this one at a time until you find the one that is causing the trouble. Then depending on what it is as to how you tackle the repair.

If none of that works you would need to go to Device Manager and disable all the devices not needed to run the system. Then you can enable them one at a time and again see which one causes the problem.

Have fun!

thanks for the reply, I work over at Futuremark and those tips come in handy

if I uninstall the nvidia driver the latency stays well within the green, so it would seem the rest of my box is ok,

once I install one of numerous versions of the nvidia driver it jumps up like this..

Oh, well nice to meet you.

It sounds like it is the driver itself that is the issue then. Some of these nVidia drivers have been causing all sorts of problems over the last few months so maybe it would be worth trying an older driver version and see what the outcome is.

well I actually found my problem, it was the motherboard itself, I swapped out to an EVGA 750i FTW because I wanted to go SLI and things are killer..

All drivers installed and clocked

I"m a happy camper now, btw these Gigabyte 560ti OC in SLI are beasts.

Glad you managed to sort it out and thanks for letting us know the outcome.

tbh I don't know if it was the 45 chipset or the card not getting along..

weird, I could swap cards or swap board and each respective piece worked perfect..

so your guess is as good as mine..

Sometimes these computers are fickle beasts! It might just be as simple as an incompatibility between the two. :-\
