Are there no 64bit XPs??
As far as i can remember, there were 64bit AMD CPUs back in 2004, when the vista were nowhere in sight.
Im getting curious.

I bought my computer back in late 2005 and it was advertised as a 64 bit system.  however the version of xp that it had was only a 32 bit.  later I was able to install windows 64 on it and it ran with no problems.

You may be referring to the Athlon 64's. The CPU was 64 bit but the OS in the time was still 32.

Ok i have had alot of flickering and artifacts with my 7850 card.I RMAd and got my second card in two months and had same issues.Went to AMD forums and noticed ALOT of people are having issues with 7xxx series cards and the new drivers.Heres what i did and it fixed all my problems.First download driversweeper then go to Amd driver site and download driver 12.4.Uninstall current driver restart boot into safe mode and use driversweeper to purge old drivers.Then install 12.4 and see if this fixes your problems.Amd knows about these issues and is working on them.There last driver fixed some performace issues flickering and lockups on some games.

Try this and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks I will try that.

The 64-bit XP (XP64) was extremely rare and drivers for it are even more rare. Which coincidentally is the reason it was never widely adopted. It's highly unlikely the OP has the 64-bit version.

Server versions of Windows were available in 64-bit form for a long time before they came mainstream.

Actually I do. Winxp 64 bit pro

Well then most likely your problems are caused by your OS, it has never shined in the driver front. The 64-bit version is a bastardized Server 2003 in disguise. You would be better off using 7 or even 8 compatibility wise.

Windows XP 64bit is a pretty poorly supported OS.

BTW skuzz, aside from the smurfy interface, is Win8 better functionality wise than Win7?

Update:
It was the os.

Fresh reinstall after fdisk and format had same issues.

Upgraded to win8 and voila 80fps no stutters.

Win8 ain't so bad but I do see an ugly trend starting here...MS is becoming apple-ized

Install startisback, start8 or something similar - you'll get the start menu back and don't have to bother with the metro.

When I get my new PC it's going to be intel as I have read here AMD has problems with read write in game

Is the GTX680 same standard as hd6970?

My wife buys me things to keep me quite by the way

I've a 600W PSU. It can handle it plenty.

No, the stutters happen when the game seems to try to load new textures. For example in MWO when a mech comes into view for the first time it stut-stutters and then its ok. FPS does not drop.

In Skyrim I don't get stuttering.

In Star Trek Online I sometimes get stuttering when a new special effect is loaded (explosion?) for the first time.

I get the same lil stutter when i run the game from my HD.When i was running from my SSD i had no stutter so i think its the reading the new information from the HD.
