Stuttering on all games

Hi,

Yes i did try with fresync disabled and i always had fast sync enabled on NVIDIA panel. And same behavior.
Tomb raider graph just shows that when the stutter happens the CPU takes longer to send frame to GPU. If my interpretation is right, CPU should always prepare frame first then send it to CPU. In the graph i can see that CPU took 10 miliseconds to prepare a frame and GPU displayed it in 10 miliseconds. The rest of the graph shows that CPU is taking only 3 miliseconds to prepare the frames and GPU takes longer to display them . that part runs really smooth.

 

Hi
My monitor fully supports 144hz, i did try with HDMI but no change :/

 

It could be the problem. I did OC the CPU. Got 5.0 on 1.40 and got it stable under intel xtu and aida 64. But same stutter. But had same issues

 

This could be a stupid question. But can a nvme and ssd cause delay to processor when loading new Textures? I have 2 spare sata mechanical drives, and i didnt test them to check if havê same issues, i always uses the sata ones with my old GTX 770 and never had any issues

 

Which device/driver ISR was that? You can post screenshot now. (Note that the method of DPC/ISR monitoring I pointed out gives you the text results which you can post here between {code} tags.)

But can your monitor work at 120Hz? Or 100Hz? If yes then have you tried it? 20Hz of a difference can be huge for frame pace stability.

 

try to format and if the problem persist you need new cpu this 4 core cpu is old and in latest games gives stutters even if oced

 

So no one brought up temps. What do temps look like? Kinda sounds like thermal throttling to me.

 

From what ive read so far, he seems to be worried the most about random stutter in RoTR benchmark.



Does it happen in other games that you actually play? Like i said that benchmark is not really a indicator of anything..

 

Have you enabled game mode in windows setting? Have you tried disabling xbox and game bar? And have you tried using high performance in windows power settings?

 

It's a different beast all together (since i'm still on a sandy bridge cpu), but i know my pc is a stuttery mess if the intel security fixes for spectre and meltdown are active.
Just as a test try to disable meltdown and spectre prevention with https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm . It does absolute wonders for me, and i know it helps for Hasswell generation cpu's to.

 

ur PC is decent. Had similar problems, stutter with no apparent reason. Tried everything and nothing worked(drivers/cleanups etc)
Only system reinstall helped.
So, try this first.
OR just install another os(try win7) on other disk/partition.

 

My laptop came with 16GB of GSkill DDR4-2400, and I used to have a stuttery mess gaming at 4K@60. I OC'd the RAM to 2666, and it didn't help, plus the RAM didn't like to OC further. Since RAM got cheap again, I invested in some Kingston Hyper-X DDR4-2933 32GB, and my gaming got a lot smoother. Could be the fact that the 16GB modules are double row helps. No matter, point is my consistent microstutters went away.

i7 7700HQ + GTX1070 8GB

 

Two things - first the expensive fix: Throw money at the problem...
Friend had this with the same cpu and a 1080 non-ti.
Bought a 3800x on a B450 board, some good 3200~3600mhz RAM and his issue went away.

Free things to try!

I had a stutter issue that once was solved by down-clocking the core on the GPU by about 50~75mhz via MSI afterburner, but sometimes just forcing a set speed can help, especially if GPU load fluctuates a lot (likely on a quad core with newer games). This often helps more for things like 'DirectX: Device Removed' errors more than random hitching, but the hitching can happen long before that error does, though it's inconsistent.

If you have monitoring apps open, try closing them, and disable any unneccessary Windows start-up software you may use for your hardware.
Try removing your network device if it's a USB wifi adapter. It may be even a joystick causing this, so start uninstalling things after backing up your OS drive with something like Macrium Reflect (free).
I've seen all kinds of things cause weird stutters. If it's a consistent stutter, there's often a monitoring program at fault or a hardware driver doing it.
Make sure none of your power supply voltages are sagging below the required 10% spec, but even 5% out of spec can cause weird bugs.
GPU VRAM errors (it's ECC memory essentially with a parity bit) if there's enough of them will cause this a lot especially under heavier load.
I'd RMA the GPU if nothing else works.

If all else fails, start replacing motherboard/cpu/ram/GPU/PSU stuff (whatever you haven't done) until the problem goes away, and either then upgrade or RMA the defective hardware.

Game such as Just Cause 3 (I believe that's the game!) with DENUVO can cause hitching due to the copy protection constantly pinging certain servers, especially when those servers are no-longer active.

TLDR - RMA the GPU if you've tried everything.

What kind of temps and cpu usage are seeing? Only time I get stuttering is when my cpu usage goes to 100%.

 

Hi all, sorry for not being here for long. I read all posts and apreciaste the help provided. I indeed tried all the fixes mention this post and manage to trace the problem or at least reduce it to almost no stutters at all.
My problem seems related to gpu temps.
Let me explain further:

I indeed checked my temps all the time when gaming or benching and all the temps seems fine to me (75ºC) on full gpu usage (heaven benchmark and hwmonitor temps).
What I did was remove the plastic window on my gpu since I read that can bring down temps like 10ºC.
After that the stutters went away, and also my frame time seems stable. I believe my gpu is not showing temps accurately or I have a bad thermal paste application. Im not sure yet. Any thoughts on this mod?
Can afterburner , and Asus gputweak show wrong temps?. Im thinking about get an aftermarket cooler to this gpu, maybe water-cooling. Any ideias? thanks

Also. Happy new year to all

 

Plastic window?? The shroud?

 

Only problem is that gpu shows normal temps in all software :S

 

Yes the transparent one attached with 4 bolts. My gpu works fine without it. Seems that it needs a repaste :S

 

Repaste... for temps?
