Stutter every 60 seconds(ish) with recent AMD drivers

[jbec-john 33]

I have an ATI Radeon 7870 Hawk, and a few driver updates ago I noticed that any ARMA game stutters once every 60 seconds or so. It's kind of like when you walk into a town and your PC spawns loot, you sometimes get a small stutter, but it does it all the time no matter where you are or what you're doing.

I rolled back to driver 12.11 and the problem was gone again. I keep trying the latest stable and Beta drivers, but every time I have to roll back.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a fix? I'd really like to get the latest drivers for other games, but DayZ is my most played game, so I have to cater to that really.

All ARMA games are affected including ARMA 3.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

i have the same problem, but i have an nvidia card so i don't see this being of any help, but i found that dayZ was making my laptop extremely hot as it is so hard on the cpu. i solved this by buying an external fan cooler, which cools my lappy down. hope this was of help. its such an annoying thing to try to fix haha

I have had this problem as well (amd) but have not rolled back or tried the beta drivers yet. i am also seeing textures load in now too which i didnt before i updated. shitty amd...
