I honestly read your reply fast and thought you were trolling sorry lol. But yea I swapped my windows install from my ADATA to my Lexar NVMe, then tried to run my games off the ADATA. After that didn’t work I tried to run games off the HDD while windows was installed to my Lexar NVMe (to ditch the ADATA completely). When I bench both those drives (Lexar NVMe and HDD) on user benchmark they are both “way above expectations”. When it comes to the drives my thoughts were maybe even though my games were installed to the super fast nvme....some cache could be stored on my ADATA with windows (potentially faulty) causing the stutters.

There was only one x16 slot on the first motherboard. On the new one there is 3. Two 4x and One 16x. My card is in the 16x.

What’s your power supply (full name and wattage)? I have the EXACT same issue in every game and I have upgraded everything except my power supply (low end Corsair vs650). Iv been seeing some ppl online upgrading their power supplies to a proper reliable brand with extra wattage to fix their issue.

How did you uninstall the drivers? Asking because I used to have issues unless I did a clean driver install with DDU (display driver uninstaller) in safe mode. If you already did that, then I’d go with a fresh windows install. I’m saying that because they’re might be something in your system causing your GPU to spike in load. And If windows is still running in the background I don’t think it’s a power issue.

Turning it off and on didn’t work either

Hi, In 2018 I bought a budget build for Black Ops 4. Little did I know what trouble it would cause. Gave up on looking for OS fixes and upgraded....but same issue. Pretty much hate myself for spending the money at this point. THE BUILD + the upgrades ( —-> = what it is now with same issues) Mobo: Asus H310m-A —-> Gigabyte X570UD CPU: i5-8600 (non-k) —-> R5 3600 Cooler: Corsair H60 —-> Stock R5 (Temps 70 Max) Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengance 2666mhz (Duel Channel) —-> Same but 3600mhz GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 —-> MSI 5700xt PSU: Corsair VS650 ADATA SSD: Windows Lexar NVMe: Games (1100mb/s read speeds bench results) THE PROBLEM My issue is microstutters, to best describe what I mean by this...let’s say you have a game that you can easily hit 200fps in. Your temps are great, no throttling and your gpu and cpu percentages show no bottlenecks. Additionally, you cap your FPS to 120 in this game with RTSS. But, on that smooooooth RTSS frametime graph, there’s little mini spikes...especially when loading new textures (Moving between zones in battle royals). I noticed this originally in Black Ops 4 multiplayer upon in game updates (gunfights, field upgrade becomes ready or domination flag changes). However, it is a lot worse in battleroyal games as there are a lot more textures to load. And I know fortnite chapter 2 is a mess for everybody, but I mean games like COD warzone which is very optimized. What drives me nuts is when I watch frametime benches for COD warzone with MY OWN specs and it’s super smooth....I just don’t get what’s different about my build. WHAT IV TRIED ON BOTH BUILDS I consider myself a pretty advanced user and have tried many things: - Driver Updates: Not just important ones, alllll of them using a registered version of driverbooster...20+ system drivers are at least 2019 and Whql approved. - Monitoring Temps - Optimizing Windows 10 (disabling all the bs) -> HPET - Game Recording Off - Standby list cleaner - Timer Resolution - No Parked CPU cores - HW monitor to check voltage drops - Every possible combination of nvidia settings -> Prerendered frames = 1 -> Vsync = OFF -> Everything else at max power - All in game overlays off - Disabling fullscreen optimizations - Installing games to an SSD - Multiple clean installs with latest WIN 10 updates - DPC latency is perfect - AUDIO: No issues between audio drivers - Disabling all overclocks/xmp - Updating Bios (both builds) - Capping FPS with RTSS - No FPS cap at all - Higher settings for GPU to take load off CPU - Network QOS: Bufferbloat and Ping are great. THOUGHTS At this point I think it might be the PSU, it’s also the last thing that I haven’t upgraded. There’s no voltage loss but for the life of me I can figure out what’s causing the problem. It’s a low end Corsair VS650.
