Suttering in games, I cant figure out why. Please help :(
My PC is new and at first it was great. 3 days in I had two crashes where two of my screens, one went green and other froze/black. Thankfully it hasnt happened since I uninstalled adrenaline, reinstalled drivers without it and updated my BIOS to the latest non-beta version.
I started noticing stutters in games today. I dont know if they were happening before as well, as its more noticeable in this new game I started playing, Neverness to Everness.
I’m using steams FPS overlay to monitor FPS and I see lots of sharp dips in red on the graph. And most of these dips are noticeable in game to my eyes as well. BF6, same issue AND a weird freeze only in BF6 where when I die and I go into the respawn menu, it freezes for 1-2 secs. During this time CPU and GPU clock drops as well. But this sort of freeze only happens in that specific situation only. And in NTE, lowering graphics almost felt like it made stuttering worse.
My system:
- CPU: 9600x
- GPU: 9070 xt
- MOBO: ASUS B650e Max Gaming W
- PSU: MSI A850G ATX 3.1 PCIE5
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32gb 6000mhz
- Latest AMD drivers without adrenaline
- Latest non-beta BIOS released fairly recently
Things I’ve tried:
- Disabled iGPU — no change
- Forced GPU PCIe link from Auto to Gen 4 — no fix
- Disabled Global C-States — no change
- Tested PBO enabled — seemed slightly better in NTE, but BF6 was the same/worse
- Disabled HAGS — no change
- Disabled Game Mode — no change
- Disabled Dynamic Refresh Rate — no change
- Disabled MPO — no change
- Disabled USB Selective Suspend
- Disabled USB device/controller power-saving
- Tried different mouse,keyboard, and USB ports — no change
- Verified SSD firmware is latest
- SSD health/quick scan — no errors
- Verified game files/reinstalled
- Tested different graphics settings in NTE — lower settings actually seemed worse
- EXPO off — no change
This is actually driving me crazy. I just wanna enjoy my new system. :( please help <3
