I recently made a thread regarding a problem I was having with Mafia II. When played in fullscreen, the game was stuttering and had a weird jitter to it. When put into windowed mode it played flawlessly(butter smooth) and I have in fact just completed the whole game playing it windowed. Since then I have tried some more games and have come across the same issue with a few more. I'll break it down into the games that have the issue and the ones that don't, to possibly help you get to the root of the problem and work it out for me.
Games that work normally in fullscreen
Bad Company @ 2048x1536 (STEAM version)
Dirt 2 @ 1920x1440 (STEAM version )
Batman Arkham Asylum @ 2048x1536 (STEAM version)
Portal @ 2048 x 1536 (STEAM version)
Just Cause 2 @ 2048 x 1536 (STEAM version)
Alien Vs Predator @ 1920 x 1440 (STEAM version)
Nail'd @ 2048 x 1536 (Retail version patched)
Avatar @ 2048 x 1536 (Retail version patched)
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit @ 1920 x 1440 (Retail version patched)
Games that have a weird stutter/jitter issue in fullscreen
Need For Speed Shift (RETAIL) - Intense frameskipping but fine when windowed @ 2048x1536
Mafia II (STEAM) - Intense frameskipping and stuttering but fine when windowed @ 2048x1536
Fifa 11 (RETAIL) - Seems to stutter in both fullscreen and windowed (Maybe just an ATI issue as it was fine with my old Nvidia card)
GTA IV (STEAM) - I have to lock the framerate else it is frameskipping galore (played perfectly smooth previously on a GTS 450)
Things that I have tried so far
D3D Overrider
In Game Vsync On/Off if the option is there
Lowest game settings
Different drivers ranging from the first released for the HD 5870 right up to the Cat 11.4 Preview drivers.
Stock Settings and fully overclocked settings
Different timings on my memory
Different monitors and different resolutions
Fresh installs of Windows 7 x64
I have a very slimline installation which means all I have running software wise in the background is Catalyst, MSE and Steam/Steam Overlay.
Really want to find the cause for this issue so help me out guys. Incidentally, regarding Mafia 2, I did email 2k Games technical support but as yet, have not recieved a reply.
Thanks
