Hello, making this thread to find some people smarter than me that can solve this issue for me. Here's the barebones issue. Frametime Spikes. I'm not new to computers so I'll try to explain this as intelligently as possible. I also dealt with this issue on a Gaming Desktop I build so I'm not new to this issue. This is a brand new gaming laptop SPECS: G733PZ Asus Rog Strix SCAR17 LAPTOP OS: WIN11 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX with Radeon Graphics, 2501 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU GDDR6 @ 12GB (192 bits) RAM: Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kgSdVlPjeBoNqJKoUjBFy8N5IjbJLXjK/view?usp=share_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EXRD3Pt-QWzhrtD9FDSYlIjG2rWr_hbT/view?usp=share_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/18jKCa8XQAZI0-TSQi6BJeFY1QvdzIDMg/view?usp=share_link Here are some examples. Note, the stuttering is not huge, it can be quite minute at times, while at other quite noticeable. I can run anymore tests if needed. What seems to be happening is I'm getting a spike in Frametime which is then causing a stutter but there's not a huge drop in FPS, which is what's a little confusing, I have tried all I know, I don't know what else it could be. Are there any suggestions for this? Things I've tried: Resetting Laptop and launching the game off a clean wipe. Messing with all Nvidia Control Panel settings. Capping framerate with Nvidia and RTSS. Messing with in game settings, disabling and enabling DLSS, VSYNC, GSYNC Etc. Adjusting fan speeds to keep components cooler. Unplugging anything USB. Running through multiple benchmarks to make sure temps of components are good. Updating BIOS. Clean Driver Install. Older Version of Driver installed using DDU. Different settings in ArmoryCrate, Performance/Turbo. In the picture that is attached, I have RDR2 Capped at 70 FPS using RTSS, so that keeps the frames stable, yet I still get these frametime spikes which will cause these small stutters. Any suggestions welcome. This is a 3k Laptop so I feel like it shouldn't be doing this.

Yeah man I can try that, I have tried it before and didn't seem to do anything, my best two options were going to be either replace RAM for a start or replace the motherboard after if that didn't do anything.

Hello, Basically I've been having a micro stuttering issue for over a year and some change now and its hand in hand with GPU Usage drops, Im in the military so recently didn't need to tend to it, and also the games I was playing which can run on a toaster such as league of legends run fine. However I just got Dying Light 2 and notice this mico stutter very much as well as in RD2 which I was playing recently, my computer can handle these games no doubt, here are the spec. Operating System Windows 10 Home 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7 8700K @ 3.70GHz 33 °C Coffee Lake 14nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1599MHz (15-16-16-35) Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING (LGA1151) 31 °C Graphics VG248 (1920x1080@144Hz) GN246HL (1920x1080@60Hz) 3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (PNY) 58 °C Storage 3726GB Seagate ST4000DM004-2CV104 (SATA ) 31 °C 232GB Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB (Unknown (SSD)) Optical Drives No optical disk drives detected Audio NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) Now to put it out there, I tried to remedy this issue before back when Fornite was huge and I had it in that game. I've tried just about everything. Messing with every setting in game, in NVIDIA, uninstalling reinstalling different drivers, or even resetting my PC and getting a new M.2 SSD. So as far as messing with basic settings within every program that has to do with GPU, I've tried it. I have heard some relate this to a RAM issue, however, I'm pretty knowledgeable around computers but haven't gotten into the guts of RAM and understanding how that could be the issue, I read a thread saying it could be the Standby Usage or something. Anyways, I really wanna solve this once and for all, I appreciate any help I can get, and I'm more than willing to run any tests or give any info needed. Much love. Also the micro stuttering does happen when GPU usage plummets. Note: I know my way around a computer but if you need me to do something fancy you'll have to explain how, or just send me a tutorial and I'll figure it out.

Funny you ask because I actually had XMP off, which was allowing my ram to only run at 2133 MHz, I went and changed that to XMP on, with a MHz of now 3200, running at its full potential, tested Heaven again after and it definitely ran smoother than it did before. Like you said though, can't be the CPU. However bumping up the ram did seem to help, although I noticed while playing some Far Cry 5, it didn't fix it entirely, there were still some moments where it would sutter, I will run Heaven again tomorrow and post the results.

No, had to RMA the one I first got, been the same since I built the computer

So I ran Heaven Benchmark which I had not done in a while. Does exactly what Im talking about. Also forget to mention I RMA'd my GPU once before and they said something was wrong with it, had the same problems before and still have the same problems now, but I'm just not too confident that it's my GPU alone that's causing the problem.

I appreciate it although thats been done plenty of times, I know a lot of base level general computer knowledge, so I guess I'm looking for a more in depth troubleshooting process to figure out what could possibly lead to this.

Before I even get into the problem allow me to list my specs. GTX 1080Ti Blower Edition (not overclocked) i-7 8700k (not overclocked) Corsair Liquid Cooling h100i Gskill TridentZ 8GB x2 750 W Corsair Power Supply M.2 SSD 4TB HD ASUS ROG STRX 370z Motherboard Let me know if any other specs are needed. I have read many forums and opened my own on this issue before, so note that most of the starter steps for troubleshooting, I have already done. I built my computer myself, I had these slight GPU Usage Drops paired with suttering when fortnite first came out. Essentially I have tried almost everything. I got the M.2 Drive which seemed to help some, though some games still stutter such as Escape from Tarkov and Dying Light. Though other games that require a massive amount of GPU usage like Star Wars Battlefront 2, run smooth. Also its not my internet because that has been thoroughly tested and I have a brother who plays the same games as me that experiences none of these issues. This is what I am talking about essentially. I had wondered about when the GPU usage drops, the CPU usage spikes, maybe some sort of bottleneck? Any troubleshooting is appreciated. Things I have tried: Resetting Entire PC multiple times and attempting to play games with nothing installed. Different Hard Drives. Different updates of the GPU drivers. Overclocking GPU and CPU. Trying different power outlets. and multiple others that Ive forgotten over time. Anything helps. Thanks in advance.

Update, I plugged my monitors into my integrated GPU driver in the motherboard, it started just fine. Monitors worked, also tried a friends computer and it works with my monitors. Any idea what might be causing the GPU to do this? the fans turn on when it starts, don’t really have the money for a new 1080 Ti so wondering if there’s any fix? Or maybe a place to fix it?

Ok so I got home from work. My computer starts all the lights and fans turn on for everything. But my monitors, I have two, are not turning on. Just a black screen, I’ve taken out my GPU, switched its sockets, I’ve also tried on monitor at a time, as well as unplugging everything and taking the mobo battery out. Any suggestions on what I should do? Never had this issue before. - Specs - GTX 1080 Ti i7 8700k (not overclocked right now) 16 GB G Skill Trident Ram Asus ROG Strix 370z MOBO M.2 SSD 4TB HDD 750 Watt Power Supply, Corasair CPU is water cooled Never had an over heating problem, like I said all fans and lights in the computer turn on as well. On the MOBO there is a green light but that just means the PSU is on stand by, any help greatly appreciated.

I never got a notification that you responded, even though its been about 20 days, my ram is Gskill, it was about 220 dollars, not cheap, for 2 sticks of 8gb, 16gb in all. BUt i got the new m.2 drive and everything runs well.

Thanks boss, I will get that done sometime today and let you know how it goes, appreciate the help a lot.

Okay so I did some more looking online. Some poeple had similiar problems but found fixes that I had already tried. But I went into open recourse monitor and found this. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-t5VLdfimoA3xh9UVFd4vq0bZDCXWcqR https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xR-VLZReQbxQqYcb3K2WHic02k857c5m As you can see me 6CPU and 4CPU seem to have a much heavier load than others, dont know it thats off. I kind of marked some things off to see if that would help narrow it down for you. THINGS THAT IT IS NOT -Weak Power (tried different power strips, i have a 850 watt power supply so I think thats enough) -Hard Drives or SSD's -GPU, ran multiple stress tests -Overheating, CPU nor GPU over heat, even have set fan speeds for GPU now -Ran MEMTEST86 on RAM and nothing showed up, also tried ram individually. -Its not my OS or any type of software, so it has to be hardware related at this point -Updated all drivers, uninstalled drivers and what not THINGS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO -Basically replace parts, I havent tried a diff GPU or CPU or MOBO or RAM or power supply Question, out of all the parts which ones should I try, to see what the culprite is, im not buying anything, I just need to know so I can replace those first with someone elses. Lemme know @Jay Deah

So I overclocked GPU, still havent done RAM and CPU. But everything runs alot smoother with the new drive. Battlerite would get the stutters quite often and now its not as bad, but still does it. So since a new drive helped. do you think it would be the motherboard. Maybe CPU. I overclocked my CPU when I first got it, and my computer crashed once from an unstable OC, do you think that could have damaged it or something?

No I have not yet, I am going to OC my RAM and CPU today. Didn't have time today, as well as my GPU. Then I'll let you know how everything runs.

Okay they are. I have them in the correct slots. Okay so question. The M.2 drive helped, a lot. Though I sitll get these freezes occasionally, not as much though. Knowing that the drive helped do you think you could link that to the potential problem? @WallacEngineering

What about the RAM I mentioned one post above yours?

http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/8146455 The new benchmark after installing the SSD. One question, for the RAM it says, Performing below potential (26th percentile) - ensure that a dual+ channel XMP BIOS profile is enabled, what is that and how can I fix it?

Works alot better, still some very occosional little freezes, very fare, so Im guessing my SSD was just bad?

Just got the SSD in, I ran one game, ran smooth, no stutters. Onto the main games that I play, will let you guys know, hopefully this fixes it!

What should I install/uninstall for the new SSD, GPU drivers or MOBO Bios?

Ordering that SSD, should come in 2 days, will let you know if it works. if not gonna RMA motherboard.

My CPU is not overclcoked at the moment. I reverted it because I thought that it might be causing the problem. What do you mean by 100Mhz block? Not familiar with that. But its no overclocked right now. Also I will look into the thing you linked, I wlil most definitley be able to buy one if I think so after troubleshooting the SSD. Did the CPU and GPU look fine to you on the link that I sent?

Ran this test for my computer its like a benchmark of everything, heres what I got. http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/8103996 Any thoughts on that? Doesnt seem to be doing great.

Tried some things, went over to a friends to make sure it wasn't internet for sure. Tried the RAM shit, ASUS wants to RMA my motherboard, I dont know what else to do so, gonna try switching stuff out from my friends computer. Thats all I know left to do. Dont know what could be causing this anymore. Never heard of RAM causing little hiccups like that in the GPU usage so who knows.
