I have a i5 3570k and a 7970 ghz and am getting a consistent 60 or so frames. Not sure why, have you updated your drivers?

Yeah, newest driver. but i found what the problem was..

I had set GameTime.maxVariableFps to 60;  
which apparently also “paused” the game because it was limiting the frames. Probably a bug with the framewaiting thing, so it also slowed down the game loop.

How did you fix this? I am having an almost unplayable experience with a GeForce GTX 690.

What i did was set GameTime.maxVariableFps to 0, then it just does as many frames it can.

you should ensure you have the newest drivers, and since you have a 690 card it could be stuttering because its a 2 core card. but i dont know.. try to play with pertOverlay.drawGraph 1 on  
and look at the lines down in the left corner, they should be steady and low.. as you see in my picture the yellow (CPU) spikes and causes lag for me.
