Hey! I got exactly the same spec and the problem that you have. It is a shame that config this expensive is having such problems, it was driving me nuts for the last two months until I found a thread in this forum about stuttering. Done everything like in proposed solution, formated PC, installed everything new, newest drivers of the system proposed by dell, newest graph drivers from nvidia, all Windows updates etc. At the end I deleted support assistant. And I played a CoD WZ 2. What a relief! No stuttering at all, works like a dream! But then I wanted to adjust rgb lights and fan curves because this thing gets hotter than heat lamp in my geckos terrarium.... And I noticed that command center-AWCC is not installed. So I downloaded newest version, installed, adjusted as wanted....and started to play. Fu#@$&'";! was happening again. I decided to uninstall AWCC, Rgb remained, fan curves remeined (can hear they spin faster in idle than usual) But the stuttering went off! At this point I really blame AWCC. Try to uninstall it together with support assistant and let us know. How ironic that Dell apps which suppose to make experience better...make it a nightmare.
I can't reply to the original thread for some reason, but I can create a new one, so... I got bored with the R13 stutter the other day, so decided to uninstall Support Assist. I uninstalled it and also another item that had Support Assist in its name (apologies - I can't remember it). The stutter remained. I had a look to see if I could see anything else left over and couldn't see anything. As the stutter remained, I thought it might be an idea to re-install Support Assist. Now when I try to reinstall the installer tells me it's already installed. So, I have two options if anyone can help - 1. Find out how to get rid of whatever is left over, or 2. Find out how to re-install. Can anyone help?
