Started and canceled windows shutdown to kill background processes and the lag spikes stopped. Though its not a solution at least i know it is software related. Ill have to spend some time to figure out what process is causing it.

Taskmgr is monitoring fine in my case. Only difference is taskmgr seems to avg it a little. Still accurate enough for many cases. Here is afterburner screenshot. The dips in utilization correspond precisely with the lag spikes. Chipset drivers are all up to date. cross checked the version numbers in devmgmt with version numbers listed in the updater. FreezeKiller does not have any effect on the game smoothness.

I was playing Monster Hunter World and its having a consistent lag spike. I was ignoring it at first because its quick and consistently timed so started to kinda just not notice it after a while. Still it is still bothering me as to what is causing it. I dont see any unusual activity in cpu that can correlate to the spikes. Note the dips in gpu graph. Any ideas? cpu: ryzen 3800x @ 4.2ghz (So low IMO) Memory: DDR4 3200 32GB gpu: Radeon 5700xt

right now vr pegs my cpu at 100%. Also I have my mac book for youtube. Ill wait until black friday.

Yah the MB price is surprising but I was just going to live with it.Also I often have a lot of applications open. As well as games. I was thinking about 3700x but 3800x isnt much more expensive

Upgrading from i7-4770k, msi gaming 5 MB, 32gb ddr3 to 3800x, asus x570-E MB, 32gb ddr4 I plan on keeping this same setup for a long time as I did with the 4th gen i7
