I did get this on my Revo 3700 after installing RC2. I went back to an older Nvidia Driver from 2011 which I had previously used before upgrading to Win8 and disabled on board Realtek audio and did a fresh install and it seemed to fix it.

I also have this problem after XBMC has been running for a while on Windows 8 (happens in 7 as well), Nvidia, ends up at either 58 or 62.5Hz closing XBMC and restarting it again gives 60Hz

Well after 9 days it was unresponsive. I was able to navigate through a couple menus and it even made the feedback noise, but it was still in the screen saver dim mode. After a couple menu changes I couldn't get anything more out of it. Task manager wouldn't even show, XBMC was full screen in the foreground. I had to restart the whole computer.
I now installed Catalyst v11.12 to see how things work out. I guess we'll see if things are the same after a day and a half.

I have also noticed this on my setup. Running a Dell Optiplex 755 with a Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 with 4g ram.
Has done it on previous machines with different hardware.I believe it's something in XBMC. I have just reserved myself to restart every few days. Do you have your remote set up to be able to start XBMC? Best thing you can do..

Hi all,
exactly the same thing here. Running Frodo final on Windows 8 Pro on a Shuttle XS35GT (ION). After some uptime >1 or 2 days, framerate goes down and XBMC becomes more and more inresponsive. Also video playback judder starts just then but without framedrops showing up in the "o" info screen... Restarting XBMC cures this for another one or two days...
Cheers,

Thanks for this information. I will check, if the mentioned workaround will help in my case.
Otherwise I'll take plan B and restart XBMC whenever resuming from standby...

Well Catalyst v11.12 made no difference. The FPS was back up to 62.50 when I checked on it after 15 hours. It got worse as the days went on. After about 4 or 5 days XBMC actually refused to accept input from my USB keyboard, so my remote didn't work either. Not sure if my Antec iMON IR software is to blame for that. I also tried to enable WASAPI audio instead of DirectX because I've read some people blame it on audio, but that didn't keep the FPS stable either, and I miss about the 1st 1/4 second of audio when I move the menu bar around. If I let the audio "rest" for a couple seconds the audio that plays next misses the first 1/4 second. Like it has the "silent stream bug" using WASAPI.
I checked to see if I have the 'useplatformclock' enabled, and it is. The post from thread 116224 link above has a lot of my ramblings and testings from back in August of last year. I found clockres.exe to display interesting results running numerous other programs too.
