Can you overclock your ram to 2133? PUBG was very choppy and plenty of stuttering when I had my ram running at 1600, but overclocking it to 2133 (I was able to push my ram to 2400) improved frametimes immensely and no more choppy gameplay. My system is a i7 4770k o/c to 4.5 paired with a Gtx 1080.

Do you have a single 16gb stick or 2x8gb? Seem like Pubg runs better with higher bandwidth from a dual channel config and higher freq ram (2133 preferred).

Oops. I'll follow the rules now, I skipped over reading the first post in this thread.

Newborn photoshoot

Started as a hobby now my friends are paying me to take their pics. My most recent photoshoot.

What games do you play often?

Was able to push my DDR3 1600 to 2400 at 1.65v. The timings are still high at 11-13-13-35. PC does not boot past bios with lower timings. Not going to go past 1.65v because I'm a sissy.

Found this within the forums! Read away:

Well here's Mr. Linus talking about ram that will help clarify different ram configs.

Single vs Dual channel memory configuration is not the ram itself but the motherboard supporting it. Your motherboard supports dual channel and quad channel. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z270H-GAMING/HelpDesk_Manual/ Check out page 19 in the user's manual for your motherboard to know the recommended memory configurations for dual channel or quad channel. I would buy a DDR4 2133 or 2400 16gb (2x8gb kit) to replace your single 8gb ram. If you are on a budget buy a 8gb (2x4gb kit). Do not mix your current 8gb ram with another ram with different timings, voltage and frequency. Battlefield 1 will have better frame times (smooth gameplay/no stuttering) with dual channel memory configuration especially in multiplayer from the youtube videos I've seen with users testing both configs. 5-10 frame rate difference is not a huge improvement with dual channel config but you will notice less stuttering. Youtube "single channel vs dual channel" to learn more about the tech.

Or being silly here but you may have vsync on?

Are you running single (1 stick of 8gb) or dual channel (2 sticks of 4gb)? I've seen benchmarks and videos of BF1 using just 8gb (single vs dual channel) and you'll get way more fps when you have ram in dual channel. Youtube seach BF1 single vs dual channel ram and from my observation, users get 5-10+* increase in fps. *edit You will reduce or even eliminate stuttering in BF1 when you have memory in dual channel config.

I'll try increasing the DRAM voltage later today and see if I can tighten the timings a bit more. Just busy lately and barely have time to toy with overclocking issues. I'm pleased with stable and smooth gameplay. Not really into benchmarking or memory testing.
