Hello all! First time poster here, with a question
Two years ago, I've bought the first gen Macbook Retina Pro. Since the beginning, I've been using it for Windows 7 gaming with Bootcamp, among other things. And also since the beginning, I've been having problems with framerate stutter in basically all modern, 3D games (older games or newer ones with less intensive graphics are ok). The framerate itself is good, generally, if I tweak the settings right - for the first 30 seconds or so, games run great, then, irrespective of the resolution and quality of settings, the games begin to stutter. It doesn't matter if I turn to low settings and abysmal resolutions, the damn stutter persists. Upon exiting the game and coming back in, the process repeats - game runs ok, then begins to stutter, with seemingly normal framerates when measured. The most recent game is Dark Souls 2, and here I can't stand it anymore. I've updated my drivers in all ways possible, automatically, manually, you name it. I've reset the SMC. Any ideas about what to do?
