I just built a new machine with a 13600k and RTX 4070, and when I load up Fortnite for the first time in a while, during a match the game will completely freeze for a second (FPS counter drops to zero). This happens once or twice and then subsides. My framerates are relatively stable besides these hitches. Is this something to be concerned about? How can I fix it? What should I look for to find the issue? Couple things that could be an issue: My power supply is not the ATX 3.0 standard, however it's an RM850x When I screwed in the motherboard, it needed to flex down 1-2mm on one of the standoffs. I haven't yet updated my bios I do hear a noticeable coil whine from the RTX 4070 when rendering high frames

I have made several topics about this in the past. I have tried everything I can think of; Ran as admin, set core affinity, changed priority, game mode on and off, ultra low latency, used a Nvidia profile, uninstalled and reinstalled through steam, turned all over lays off, manually added the game to the Game profile on my Anti Virus, and turned off Core Isolation. The only thing I have not done yet is uninstalling the game, completely wiping it from the system the best I can and uninstalling and reinstalling steam itself. Then redownloading and installing the game all over again. I have included 4 Pictures of performance graphs during and after game play. First one happened during a freeze. The second one was also during a freeze the Third and fourth were take shortly after each other after the second picture. Additionally I just checked my CPU temp logs and during the game the Temps SOARED to ana average of 70C I have not seen this PC do this in any of the other games. I have played on it. I really don't understand why the game is not playable on my new system. My old Laptop the Dell Alienware that I originally bought and played the game on did not have any issues back then and I even booted it up and tried the game on it today and IT STILL WORKED PERFECTLY! So I have NO IDEA why my new system can't run it. The new system has not had any issues with Elden Ring (RTX on or off the laptop had issues with RTX on), Horizon Zero Dawn, Doom Eternal, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Tales of Arise or Scarlet Nexus. I am starting to think that the game suspects it is pirated and is trying break the PC or itself. If ANYONE has ANY insights into this or something I could do to get it to work I would GREATLY appreciate it

So I finally got a GPU for my potato PC expecting a substantial increase in FPS and smoother experience at higher resolutions. Got a new 650W Thermaltake RGB PSU to support the card as my older one was just 500W. Once I installed the drivers, did all the basic stuff, and expected to have fun, my gaming experience got worse. There's screen tearing and continues frame drops. I used to get an average of 55 FPS in Valorant at 1600*900 res but now it shows 200 FPS but the frame drops are awful and the experience is a lot worse than like playing at 40 FPS. So the game shows frames but it's like they're all disappearing somewhere. I can run games at higher res but the frame drops are just AWFUL!! Sorry if the description is a bit messy but this is how I'm able to explain what's happening! I've tried some general fixes but none seem to work. Please help me solve this issue.

Hello all, I recently upgraded by PC build and sold my old setup on eBay. The buyer has requested a return due to "drastic frame drops and crashes in Valorant, Roblox, and Minecraft" as well as "rapid beeping when screen-sharing on Discord." Could this be an issue with RAM that is not properly seated, dead, or encountering a static issue? The problem must have occurred during shipping, as it was working fine before. Here are the system specs: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz CPU MSI NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB OCV1 GPU 16GB ADATA DDR3 RAM (2x 8GB) Asrock 970M Pro 3 Motherboard 500 Watt Allied Power Supply 120GB SATA SSD 1TB SATA HDD Windows 10 Oh and one last question, how much would you recommend I sell this for? Would it be best to part-out? Thanks a ton! -A1

While playing Minecraft (the epitome of AAA graphics) earlier, I got some really long frames. I noticed that my GPU core clock was spending about a second at ~800mHz and then about two seconds dropping down to exactly 6mHz. The whole time the temperatures were stable at 51°-52°. It could be a power issue, but it runs fine for a while then starts doing this. It has never gotten this bad before, though. As far as I can tell, I have fully default settings and the latest drivers. Specs: GPU: Radeon 5600xt (Gigabyte dual fan) CPU: Ryzen 5600x PSU: EVGA 600watt semi modular

Hey everyone, before I explain my issue, here are my specs. Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 580 8g OC. So back about 2 weeks ago I was playing beat saber in vr, and out of nowhere I was getting major frame drops. Before that, I had beat saber at high settings and got a steady 90FPS. But it was giving me terrible performance. Then I tried Fortnite and had similar issues. Before that I had it on high settings and had it capped at 60Fps with no issues. But now once I jumped it was very laggy and studdering. In Minecraft I couldn’t get 60Fps and my graphics card was only at 10% usage. But this issue has been very weird. The last week Beat Saber has been running fine with only a few studders, and I used the Steam VR performance test and got a fine score with no frames under 90. But Fortnite and Minecraft still have major issues. Since then, I have tried the following troubleshooting. Installing older drivers, reinstalling the games again, resetting windows, installing windows on a different drive, upgrading the power supply from a 450 to 600w (the 450 was acting up a bit), and reseating the card. This issue is very weird and unpredictable. It just started out of nowhere. I did update windows in the same week but I can’t remember if it started right after the update. If anyone knows why this is happening, that would be great, Thanks :).

I have a Ryzen 5 5600x(NEW), MSI B550 MAG TOMAHAWK (NEW), RTX 3060Ti (NEW), c850 80+ gold certified (NEW), 2x8 GB of RAM 3600Mhz CL18 (about 1 year old) also the temps and usage on cpu and gpu are normal, I also play on low graphic settings and I get frame drops in Dead By Daylight and some textures don’t fully load in till I get close to an object, I also face that issue in Apex Legends, and I’ve researched that too high of ram timings could cause frame drops but I’m not to sure, my ram timings are 18 - 22 - 22 - 42, voltage is 1.348, is there anything I can do to fix this issue, I’ve already ordered new ram but I can’t continue to play games with this issue going on

I have an msi ge63 8sg rtx 2080 16*2 gb ram i7 8750h I play only apex legends all low settings and i never get max 144hz I changed thermal paste undervolt cpu and gpu put the game on high performance nvdia processor with maximum performance on power management upgraded to dual channel ram all drivers are up to date. Gpu and cpu temps are 80°c max So i am completely lost now on why i never ever get stable fps its never 144hz and when it is it is just for few seconds and goes back to 100 ish and i also get high dips to 70 60 fps and im so lost now Any ideas guys?

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop with the following specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti, 16 GBs of RAM, 144 hertz screen. So to describe the problem, when I set the game's resolution to "Borderless" and I alt+tab, I start getting artifacts, I tried fixing this problem by playing the game of "Fullscreen" but when playing the game on full screen I start getting stutters. I've tried multiple fixes like: reinstalling the game, updating my drivers, stress testing my GPU (the results were normal, no artifacts), etc. Been having this problem for months and wish for a fix ASAP

Hello people, I've came here to see if someone could help me solve my problem. I'm a normal/active player of the game Dead By Daylight, and sometimes I get microstutters/frame drops, I've tried optimizing my PC, disabling services, I had a clean install of Windows because I was stuck in boot loop, This problem has been going for months even when I had a Ryzen 3 3100. I have clean installed my game drivers, I've tried Game Mode, I've tried DBD Optimization Files and nothing seems to work. I have an overclock on my GTX 1080 and its stable and it has never caused me problems and dbd is the only game that gives me microstutters/frame drops, I have unlocked my cores, set my RAM to its advertised speeds but nothing seems to work, even on low I get some microstutters/frame drops time to time, I even optimized my NVIDIA Control Panel Graphic settings, I turn on HAGS, I made DBD run in High Priority, I have my FPS capped at 120 FPS, MY temps aren't the problem as my gpu sits at 55-60C and my cpu sits at 46-53C please someone help me, thanks! I have a Ryzen 5 5600x, ZOTAC GTX 1080 AMP Edition (GPU is like 2 Years Old), Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM 3600 MHz (2x8GB) CL18, MSI B550 Mag Tomahawk, Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 Rev 4, 4 Corsair LL120 Fans.

Specs are highlighted in my signature. This only started like three hours ago. But when it started I was downloading a game at full speed so I thought the massive framedrops were because I was bandwidth starved, so I dropped it down to 480p from 1080p60 and it went away. But the game is now done downloading and it is still happening. And I have reason to believe it may lie in my GPU because something is causing the GPU usage graph in the xbox game bar performance monitor to read 100% when the usage graph in task manager is reading less than 10%. Normally they are within 1% of each other. I have made zero modifications to my hardware in the last 24 hours, with the exception of tweaking my OC on my GPU last night because I started getting memory artifacts when running FH4. (It normally would not artifact at 1800 core, 1840 mem, but I dropped it down to 1830 mem and it went away. Afterburner profiles are not loaded at startup. Default is 1700 Core, 1500 Mem. The only modifications I have made to my software since is that I installed COD warzone because a friend wanted me to play, and I didn't have it installed yet). These youtube problems occurred with battle.net on and off. Same goes for steam. So ignore this. Example from a Raycevik video: Even at 720p60 and a 400 Mbps download speed I was dropping more than 30% of the frames. It was well over 50% at 1080p60. To make it weirder, the xbox game bar performance monitor has my GPU pegged at 100%, but every single graph within both task manager and afterburner have nothing above 15% when using YT. I have removed OCs and restarted windows, no changes, still continues to lag. Am using the latest version of the brave browser on windows 20H2.

Hello everyone, First thing, here is the problem: I get frame drops every time I get shot in Fortnite, sometimes in Minecraft too. It is very very annoying to have that problem and it seems to be worst in worst. No matter if I lose 3HP or 200HP, I get the big frame drop. I know I have a laptop and not a gaming pc, but I have performance mode, all my settings are the most optimized possible, there is nothing that is not for performance. I have watched all the videos of frame drops in the world to try to solve that problem, but nothing workes. I am pretty tired of those, if anyone can help me, it would be appreciated.

I get really low fps in games like fortnite and cs go, I am barely able to get 60 fps in fortnite which keeps dropping to 10-20 fps while in game causing massive stutter and rendering the game unplayable. Other laptops with similiar or even less specs are easily able to push around 150-200 fps at medium-high settings in fortnite without any kind of overclocking. Specs: Intel Core i7-9750h RTX 2060 16 GB DDR4 RAM(Single Channel) Windows 10 I have tried a ton of fixes -Updating BIOS -Clean Windows 10 reinstall -Changing power management settings in windows as well as nvidia control panel -Undervolting/Underclocking/Overclocking -Running this command(as administrator) "bcdedit /set useplatformclock false" and disabling hyperthreading did however significantly reduce overall stuttering it had little to no effect in games -Identified DPC latency issues with latency mon and tried to fix them with a tool like Driver Booster 8, which did however reduce the latency the issue still perists -Completely deleted nvidia drivers with ddu in safe mode and reinstalled them -Disabled Turbo Mode in cpu (for consistent performance and current limit throttling) None of the above fixes seem to have worked, my game still stutters like crazy and frames keep dropping around the 10-20 range. I cannot really return this and ask for a replacement, I bought it around June 2019 and had not really started gaming until recently and hence was unaware if the issue all this time. The warranty has expired My temps while gaming: -GPU : 84-88 degrees -CPU : 92-97 degrees -GPU clock : 1000-1200 mhz -CPU clock : 2.7 GHz (Turbo Disabled)

System specs Amd 3600 Rx 5600xt 32gb 3600mhz Windows 10 Samsung 960 pro 500gb nvme Hello, I am new to posting on forums in general and have most of the time fixed problems by diagnosis and research, but I am stumped. I have recently started editing video of my gameplay. I tried to get hardware encoding to work with no luck. (It seems to me now that my gpu does not support hardware encoding.) But as an effort to see if I could get encoding to work I installed the Amd pro drivers as a last effort. I also tried the drivers out of curiosity for gaming. Fyi, they are not good for gaming. The problem: Since the pro drivers were not a help, I went ahead and uninstalled them. I then reinstalled the previous working drivers for gaming and just used the cpu to render my gameplay and went to sleep. Now my frames drop drastically. I was getting 165 fps and dipping to around 144 - 130fps about 20 percent of the time in Fortnite. Now, it is dropping to as low as 55 fps when i move around, fight others, or when anything loads in. I am not sure if the pro drivers messed up the card, or I did something wrong. What I have tried after the problem started: A fresh reinstall of windows 10 then reinstalling the original graphics drivers and Reseating the gpu. Reflashing the gpu bios to maby reset it. After reflashing the gpu bios, the problem is the same. Which means I did not make it worse hopefully. My thermals are in the low 60s for both the cpu and gpu. About 65 max for the cpu, and 60 max for the gpu before the problem and after the problem. I just recently dusted my pc two days ago. I thank everyone in advance for any help to solve my problem. Edit: I reflashed the bios on the gpu and the performance is back to where it was. I must have flashed it incorrectly before. It seems that me that pro drivers mess with the gpu bios some how.

Specs Below. I usually play league with streams in the background, music, movies, whatever. I've always comfortably multi-tasked with my PC. No problem, specially with league. Lately (Even after a full OS reinstall & Driver reinstall) I cannot have anything open behind my game or ill start to drop frames during fights. Ill Usually have Mobalytics behind the game (game overlay stuff) and now I cant even have that. Any idea what's going on.?

Hello, When I play Fortnite I have some frame drops that go from 200fps to 10. I have updated my drivers, but it keeps getting frame drops when I play at medium settings. Does anyone know the solutions? RTX 2060 OC 6gb , i5 -9400F, 8gb ram

I have started getting random large drops of frames. Weird right? haha must be unoptimized! I spent close to ~3 hours doing every fix for the game on this hellish planet we live on. After arriving to the brilliant idea that it could be something other than the game I tried out bf1 again which I usually run full ultra at 200% supersampled (just beautiful). I now get frame drops! I never had frame drops before, it ran perfectly. I ran my parts on userbenchmark to see if anything was in joe bidens health condition but everything performed good enough. These drops I am having happen even when using my desktop normally. Like even while typing this the computer will freeze for a half of a second and then the words will catch back up. Lets go to what I've tried to fix. THINGS I'VE TRIED: 1. Reset my OS completely and wiped all files (windows 10) 2. I changed out my old PSU with a 1000 watt PSU, still having the same issue unsurprisingly. 3. Switched my motherboard to rule it out, still having the same issue. 4. I switched out my graphics card, still the same issue 5. I switched out my CPU, still the same issue 6. Tried MANY graphics changes in multiple apps 7. Already turned all the silly things off like xbox bar and what not. 8. Used Malwarebytes to see if I had some malware. 9. Searched through 30+ websites about how to fix an issue like this and tried all the suggestions to no avail (sorry I dont remember them all or I would post them >.<) 10. Tried playing the game with ZERO applications running 11. Fully updated windows 12. Reinstalled drivers 13. Tried playing with the god forbidden VSYNC 14. Did the IT golden trick (reset my computer) 15. Tried selling my girlfriends boyfriend to afford new parts (no bids) 16. Many other things I can not remember. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE give me ANY information you can. I will take all of it very seriously because I hate having such a sexy PC when I can't handle a game that a 10 year old shitbox computer could. Now I believe it to be the RAM or SSD, considering these are the only things I have yet to change out that I think could affect this. However, I am unable to swap the ram out due to not having any extra DDR4 right now. I guess I will find out in the coming days when I acquire some. I'll update soon.

Hello, I've tried to undervolt my cpu with intel xtu, I went down to -0.100, after that, I've tested the stability in some games and it went pretty bad I was getting frame drops in games then I turned back the voltage to 0/default and I was still getting frame drops and instability in games. I have tried everything to fix this, I even reistalled the windows and stiil get frame drops in games. I did't get frame drops in games before installing intel xtu. Can you help me? I didn't touch anything exept cpu voltage offest and turbo boost power max, now they're back to default. I don't have problems with cpu temperature but my gpu temp is 90-95 degrees My cpu is: i3 8130u My gpu is: MX150

in games that have high gpu usage, i get frame drops that freeze the game for a second. when these drops happen my gpu usage drops by half and the gpu clock speed does the same. recently i replaced my 1500x with the 3600, 1060 3G with a 5600XT, and replaced my 2666 mhz 16GB kit with a G skill 3000 mhz 16 GB set. before the replacement most games suffered from very low fps, but after replacing the parts i started getting these frame drops. another issue that ive been getting before replacing the parts, but is still present, is input lag. After playing certain games (doesnt happen on every game) like modern warfare ill get input lag that carries over to other games. this is fixed by restarting the pc, but i just dont know whats causing it. userbenchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/26431468 System specs: boot drive: Western Digital sata M.2 2280 SSD hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Asrock B450M Steel Legend AMD Ryzen 5 3600 AMD RX 5600-XT G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 3000 C16 2x8GB Bequiet system power 9 500W

Hello! It seems like I was experiencing the same issues a lot of people on these internet forums were experiencing. Over the past two weeks I've scoured the forums of LTT and Tom's Hardware for tips and tricks of how to get rig of pesky lag spikes, frame dips, or just overall underperformance of my expensive PC. Granted these are in no way a guarantee to fix your issue but it's a good place to start and I feel like it would be nice to have a list of things to try that might fix your particular issue instead of searching far and wide like I did. If you have any tips or trick please comment below and I will add it to my list (and credit you of course). Before I start, I want to say I am by no means an expert in this field and have only been working in IT for a little over 2 years. If anyone would like to correct me I encourage you to do so, I am always willing to learn and be challenged on my knowledge, thank you! I will start with what I think solved my particular issue: Disabling NVIDIA Overlay in games. I should have known something was off with it before; it would make my mouse extremely lagging after games when it would pop up with my replays and make it almost impossible to close. I might try to do a fresh install of GeForce Experience and see if that fixes that issue, but for now it works a lot better and doesn't seem to have large spike of FPS drops in game as much. BIOS Update. This is one people commonly suggest. This was a problem many years ago I had when I was much less technologically inclined than I am today. I had never updated my BIOS after I built my system for a whole year after I made it. I had never owned a gaming computer before so I just thought random frame drops in Rocket League were normal. Along with several other issues I had, I felt pretty dumb after I fixed it. Regardless, I was happier with my setup. Chipset drivers. I had never updated my chipset drivers either. My AMD 2700x seemed like it was slightly underperforming out of box and wasn't sure why. I did a User Benchmark before and after and the results were slightly better. I am not sure if this had anything to do with remedying my stuttering or not since this was done alongside me disabling NVIDIA overlay. Graphics card drivers. This might seem like an obvious one to a lot of you guys but as a noobie trying to troubleshoot back in the day, I knew very little and this definitely was forgotten a few times until I wondered to myself why my games were sucking more than usual. Windows OS corrupt files. I have seen a few instances of corrupt operating system files causing performance decreases in games, or even just general weird bugs in windows. A few of my games would randomly crash and one of my friends suggested checking my system files. You can run a command through command prompt called sfc /scannow. This has pulled corrupt windows files on a few occasions for me and has fixed them. You will have to run command prompt by searching for it in windows search bar, right click on it and hit run as administrator, type the command above and it should take about 5 minutes or so. Alternatively, you can go to your file explorer and check all your drives independently. Go to "This PC," right click on the drive you want, click on the tools tab, then click the "Check" option under "Error Checking." Any drive that does not contain the OS Windows will tell you that it doesn't need to check it but it honestly doesn't hurt. Windows "Game Mode" This might be a big one. I might be wrong, but I think this is set to on by default. According to Techspot, this is a pretty substantial one and could be your golden ticket to better FPS... who knows? Try disabling by searching for Game Mode in Windows search bar. HAGS or Hardware accelerated GPU Scheduling This setting can also be found on the same page as "Game Mode." This setting may or may not help but it seems to be on a case by case basis. It's a newer feature in the NVIDIA driver update. From what I have read online It may help gaming performance in CPU bound situations. Windows 10 Power Plan This one might be less about fixing stuttering and more about getting better performance. Under "Power Options" you can change your systems power options. Go to your systems "Power and Sleep" settings and on the right side click "Additional power settings." Choose "Ultimate Performance." (would not recommend if on a gaming laptop) Disabling Dynamic Tick A number of user's have been helped by this one and it seems generally safe bet to help with stuttering frame rates. Right-click the Start menu and select Command Prompt (Admin). First, enter bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes and press Enter. Then input bcdedit /set useplatformclock true in the Command Prompt, and press the Enter key. Thereafter, enter bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy Enhanced in the Prompt and press Enter. Close the Command Prompt window and restart the system.

My gpu usage is dropping from >80% to <5% for a second and then goes back to normal. This is generating stuttering and frame drops. How did I find it: I was having frame drops so I decided to analyze the cpu/gpu through msi afterburner. Then I noticed that my frames were dropping when my gpu usage was falling significantly for no reason. Any recommendation to improve this will help.

Hi I recently purchased a 5700 xt. It was a good card but however i kept getting black screens and computer randomly restarting so i returned it (I read that might be a possibility since i use two monitors) 1: 4k Acer KG281K and 2: 1080P Acer . So I purchased a RTX 2080 and while thats fixed the issues above the performance has been less than i thought it would be given the price of the card. Every game i bring up says i should be using just about max settings 4K. Some games are fine but i keep getting constant stuttering and frame drops issues even when dropping the resolution down to 1440p and 1080p. I'm not entirely sure i think it might be the power the card is getting . I was originally using one of those 6pin/8pin power cables but i read some where that using two separate cables might fix the issue. Can someone confirm that that is the problem needing two separate power cables one for the six pin connector and one for the 8 pin connector ?? I will need to order another cable if thats the problem. I had one of those 4 pin molex connector cables and had a six pin adapter so i'm currently using that to see if that would sort fix the issue but not really.

ROG G750JM laptop, it's 2 years old (coming up on 3) and the framerate isn't looking so hot. Within the first year it ran CS:GO over 300 FPS (Before I knew that I should frame limit) but now it can barely run it at 120, let alone 100. After a LOT of software and hardware issues specifically dealing with storage and my multiple attempts at using a successful operating system between multiple versions of windows and linux, my new consistent framerate among all operating systems is around 200. It's not that big of a problem with CSGO, but most games I own (specifically bigger games) suffered from 10% - 60% drop in consistent framerate. I like running big Minecraft modpacks and while my PC used to be able to chew through a 250+ mod modpack, it can barely get through my new one at 50 fps. (inconsistent of course as generating new chunks drops my rate down to 20) I just want my old performance back. I have a brand new hard drive in my system, I upgraded to 12 GB of Ram, yes I have all of my drivers installed and up-to-date (not that it would matter too much considering the frame drop persists in Linux as well) As far as physically the computer doesn't get any warmer than it used to nor does it make any weird sounds, although it wouldn't hurt if I open it up and clean it out sometime soon. As far as I can tell there's no software problems or hardware problems. Does anyone know what up with this performance drop?

As the title says, my PC used to run games fine. Usually above 60 FPS for most games, everything fine. Recently I noticed while I was playing H1Z1 I was getting 50-60 FPS when before I was getting 90-100+. I went on other games and my frames were dropping just enough for me to notice and impact performance. My power management is on High for the system and both my GPU, GPU and CPU usage is just fine, CPU temps are fine (29 Celsius idle, 50 Celsius max), GPU temps are fine (56 Celsius idle, 69 Celsius max) I've done test with multiple anti-viruses, I've cleaned out my PC, I've uninstalled drivers and reinstalled them but nothing. I'm not sure what else to do. It's been a problem for a week and I have no idea why. I've asked numerous forums but no one can explain it.https://gyazo.com/ac8cd7aa867af10f840aeadf79423e8eCPU usage and temps idle via HWMonitorhttps://gyazo.com/69f326bb7cfad81af99fc5c46d8f3621GPU usage and temps via HWMonitorhttps://gyazo.com/49ae9632867014d330f71e00447c3609GPU-Zhttps://gyazo.com/96e63847075f0ae5731c5389377ebed4CPU-Z:SPECS:FX-8320 Eight Core (3.5, OC to 4.0)GTX 1060 6 GB14 GB RAM1 TB Sataiii HDD1 TB Hitachi HDDGigabyte GA-970A-DS3P AM3+ MotherboardAsetek 550LC 120MM Watercooler(I know the FX 8320 isn't the strongest card but I know it's a lot more capable then what it's doing)
