Specs: RTX 3080 Ryzen 5 5600x 32gig 3200mhz ram MSI X570 A Pro - Version "American megatrends International, LLC. H.D1, 3/03/2021" An extremely weird performance Issue has recently developed with my new PC. It first started on raytracing minecraft windows 10 edition. The game would stutter and drop to 30 fps constantly, and now on other applications too. I decided to make a post here and began screen recording to capture the issue, however, WHEN I SCREEN RECORD, OR ENABLE INSTANT REPLAY, EVERYTHING IS FIXED USING NVIDIA OVERLAY. I even tested other games, I get significantly higher FPS whilst recording, and games can load up to 20 seconds faster while screen recording. When I play Ghost recon wildlands, it takes forever to load when not recording, but when recording It loads within a few seconds. Even YOUTUBE gets 30fps locks during video playback sometimes, which is fixed as soon as I turn on Nvidia replay. I have noticed somewhat common micro-freezes during simple tasks such as file explorer, opening windows settings etc. All which seem to be gone as long as instant replay is activated in the background. I have done a complete driver reinstall using DDU, I have reinstalled Wildlands and Minecraft (the two games I mainly tested this on) I have updated windows to it's latest version (running on windows 10) I have updated drivers I have defragged my drives Disabled NVIDIA OVERLAY

XMP is enabled and has drastically helped performance. I still have odd stutters and locks here and there that shouldn't happen, but this has made it well and truly playable. Thanks mate

How is this performance tab looking? I'm going to hold off on DDU for a bit and try some other stuff, maybe just reinstall Minecraft. Never been comfortable using that program to be honest.

Hahah you lost me there. So I need to increase it to 3200Mhz to get the most out of it? What confuses me about this is the problem is literally fixed if I screen record. Runs flawlessly then. It's as though when I play it's considered a background process and screen recording prioritises it. I have no idea.....

This is what I have installed: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/memory/ddr4/61665-f4-3200c16d-32gvk I'm not sure how to use DLSS, never worked with that before. I have upscaling switched on in the minecraft settings, but there is no customization for it beyond that. I'm a little concerned as I disabled the adaptive sync in control panel, and I've still got screen tearing.

Another thing that may be worth mentioning, my monitor is a shitty old Samsung 60Hhz without any Gsync or Adaptive sync technology. Running a HDMI to display port adapter connection.

My memory speed was 2133 MHz if that's what you wanted me to find.

Just tried that, it caused really bad screen tearing even though I was under 60fps. Improved it from 30fps locks to around 45-50fps locks instead

ryzen 5 5600x

I have 32gig ram installed, not sure what you mean about the speed though.

I have a 3080 and 5600x. For a while I was running windows 10 Minecraft with raytracing at 24 chunks no hiccups whatsoever. Now, it's running awfully. It runs at 60fps for 5 seconds at a time then locks to 30fps randomly. If I'm super lucky it'll stay at 60fps for a while, however when i start to move it gets extreme lag spikes, locking to 30fps for a few seconds. What's extremely weird is i was about to record a video with NVIDIA overlay to provide an example of this. When I start screen recording it fixes the fps problems, as though recording makes minecraft get properly recognised by the system and provides proper performance. I've turned of Nvidia overlay, ran in windowed, restarted, updated windows. What the hell is the problem here? the card is obviously capable of running this, it's just locking up for some reason.

Unfortunately using DDU to reinstall drivers has made no difference, though thankyou everyone who suggested it. Freesync is not available in radeon options so i would assume none of my monitors support it, like you said. I just tried Radeon Chill as you suggested, however it made no difference to framerate, it was still hovering around 160fps. I have found many radeon settings don't affect my games, even if i restart them etc. Perhaps i am configuring them incorrectly, idk I'm assuming this issue is due to a setting I need to change somewhere, because as i mentioned my friend is experiencing none of this, and he is on the same rig on the same game, and he has a 1080p 60hz monitor as well. The only difference between he and I that is obvious is that he has 2 monitors and I have 3, however the issue persists even if i disconnect my 2 others..

Just to be sure, should I install version 20.11.2? That is the latest "recommended" download I can see, Thanks

Previous post info is written at the bottom below. Friend came over and we swapped my GPU to his build. On his PC none of the issues were present, which to me says that there isn't an issue with the GPU. We took out the ram and used it in his, and that too functioned fine. We're now thinking it could be the CPU and will be placing mine into his in a day or two. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? As well as any precautionary suggestions? Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPU: rx 5700xt CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 MOBO: ASUS PRIME x570-P/C SM corporate stable model I have had this build for almost a year now. It has had a large share of issues that I have not experienced previously on other computers. I have tried many things for the past year and have not fixed this main stuttering problem. In specific games, Vsync will cause extreme stuttering. Framerate will be 60, yet panning the camera presents major to minor stuttering. MY FRIEND HAS THE EXACT SAME BUILD AND DOES NOT EXPERIENCE THESE ISSUES WITHIN THE SAME GAMES. My monitor is 60hz 1080p, and is set to 60hz in the display settings. Turning off vsync makes my fans go mad as framerates climb, and creates immense screen tearing. Using windowed mode with vsync off partially fixes the issue, as it removes tearing but still presents minor stutters and my fans are unnecessarily high. I have recently been troubleshooting the issue within a minecraft spinoff game, "vintage story", which suffers greatly from these stuttering issues, despite being surprisingly well optimised. My driver version is 20.11.2, a friend previously accidently installed an experimental version, which I later corrected by installing 20.11.2. During installation, i pressed "factory reset" to remove previous versions, however there may be an additional step i am missing? I am using 3 monitors, my gaming monitor is using HDMI connection through the GPU port. The side monitors are using display port adaptor connections i read this article here:https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/d2qknf/how_i_fixed_my_5700xt_stuttering_and_freesynch/ which seems to be a similar problem to mine, yet i did not understand what the post was suggesting i do regarding CRU What maddens me most about this situation is that my best friend and i are playing the same games on the same damned computer, yet he experiences none of this. Please help, I've been trying to solve this for months lol, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Yes I have, I originally set it to 25gigs (I have 32gig) but later pulled that back to 8 gig because I figured it was overkill and stupid, but I don't really know what's best. I've heard that with Java just being terrible, it's just that what confuses me is that with vsync off i get really good fps, but as soon as i turn it on it has a freak out and wont bump above 45fps or so.
