Random skips

So I recently got a 144hz monitor and have now been playing around with getting Da Best fps. Initially I didn't feel like fucking around with a config and just lowered my settings to the minimum; however, even if I'm getting an otherwise steady 200+ fps, I occasionally get these weird skips, where my game will completely freeze for anywhere from a tenth of a second to a full second or two. I can't really see any constants; sometimes it happens during fights, or just during rollouts, from four times a game to not at all for hours at a time. Occasionally at the start of a round, my game would freeze for the whole of the freeze time.

I eventually got annoyed enough to decide maybe a config would solve the problem and installed Comanglia's. Since then I've never gotten a skip that lasts more than half a second, but they still happen. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Not sure if this would help, but could be a cord connection issue? Maybe try a new HDMI (if you're using it) or try plugging it into a different hdmi port on your monitor

Yup, been using DVI. I wouldn't think that hdmi would cause skips like this anyway; just bad frames in general, right? My card has two DVI ports on it though, so I guess I'll try the other one.

Make sure your DVI is dual link and not single. When I got my 144hz monitor, single link would cause the screen to look pretty bad but i'm not sure if it's what's causing your issue but its worth making sure of.
