I bought a new laptop yesterday. It's a Toshiba Satellite P875-S7102.
Specs:
Intel® Core i7-3630QM Processor
8GB DDR3 1600MHz memory
Windows 8
Full specs here if you need to know more: http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/P870/P875-S7102/
I bought it as a replacement for my Desktop, which can play any game you throw at it. I want a laptop that can play all of my games, so I don't have to keep going on the desktop. It plays my games perfectly well, BUT, every now and then there's this "stutter" where things slow down big time, for a few seconds. Then, things go back to normal, smooth gameplay.
My question is: what is causing this "spike"? I'm VERY happy with this laptop, as it also caters to my serious side as a programmer with it's 1920 x 1080 res. I tried running the games in a lower res, such as 1366 x 768, but the stutter still occurs.
I have all of my windows updates. DirectX is up to date. Windows Update said there were no video card driver updates, so I must have the current drivers.
Thanks for any suggestions you can give.
