Currently playing and finishing some of my old game titles (NFS:Underground 1-2,NFS: MW & NFS Carbon) Even though my newer games like NFS:Heat/NFS: Unbound and Tekken 8 have no issues at all. kinda weird on my end, a little help would mean a lot to me, thanks

A few weeks ago my laptop started to get frame stutters while I am gaming. My FPS will be totally fine (around 60 fps) and then every few minutes will suddenly stutter and drop to 1 - 3 fps and then will go back to 60 fps. This has never happened before and is now happening every few minutes on titles that I have spent hundreds of hours playing without a problem on. My laptop is a Asus Vivobook Pro 14X OLED with the following specs: - Intel i5-11300H - 16 GB RAM - Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 - Windows 11 64bit 22h2 I have tried all the obvious fixes including: - Restarting the laptop - Updating drivers - Setting game graphics to minimal None of the above have solved the issue. I could really use some advice on this one.

Hi! I'm having some weird issues with frametime spikes creating judder in some games. Using X-Plane 11 as an example (although this has been observed in other demanding games). When my gpu usage is nearing 99% i notice the frametime becomes very erratic and spiking at a very short near-regular interval. This causes the feeling of stutter even at higher fps. This is forcing me to decrease all my settings until i'm able to consistently achieve 60fps and lock it using rtss or lock it to 30 fps, anything else creates those stutters. I've searched the entire internet for what is causing this. I tested every possible combination of vsync and gsync but i'm at a loss. I have a new GPU coming in a few days and i hope that'll fix it but in case it doesn't, i need to find out what is doing this.

So I been gaming on my 750ti for a couple of years now and fortunately my favourite games are quite harmless when it comes to computing power needed (LOL, CSGO, etc). So recently I bought a nice display capable of doing 144+ Hz, because its also for my laptop that is able to make use of it. However, after a bit of research there is no reason why my 750ti shouldn't be able to make use of it, at least in 1080p. The hdmi is 1.4, and according to the internet it should support 120+hz on 1080p and during gaming it shows, that my gpu could deliver up to 180 fps in certain games. The only problem is that nowhere in the settings or the driver im able to select more than 60 hz (In the driver i managed to get 100hz on custom resolution, but it feels kinda wrong to do it this way). Does anyone have an idea what the reason for the low fps output could be?

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.

I have a M27Q IPS 170 Hz monitor and a LG IPS 60 Hz monitor from 2015. I have no problems running games like God of War, Resident evil 4 remake or Battlefield 2042 on an unlocked FPS. However, when I lock them in 60 fps mode, they begin to stutter badly, with or without Vsync, Free sync on or off, or turning on 60 Hz mode. The same happens on games locked at 60 fps, like Elden Ring and Fighting Games, or on old games with no option for a high refresh rate.

Title says it all. I get 144 fps usually, then when I move into an open area the framerate drops, sometimes in excess of ~30 fps. Wobbly frametimes, too. Meanwhile, GPU utilization stubbornly sits at 60% or lower. CPU usage rarely goes above 40%. Why? How can I fix this? Please tell me I didn't buy this 144 hertz monitor for nothing.

Hi everyone, I really hope someone here can help me. I have recently added a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision OC to my system: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Storage: Samsung 870 QVO 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital Blue 2 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB Vision OC Video Card Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RMx White (2018) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply I've started gaming with it and the performance has been all over the place. Sometimes it is fine, but sometimes I get massive frame rate drops and inconsistent frame rates. I have attached a log file monitoring hardware info from a session in Battlefield 1. I was playing at 1440p with settings on High. I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look at these values and see if they can see where the issue might be. 'BF1 Log.xlsx' is colour coded. Green indicates good in-game performance, red indicates poor of fluctuating in-game performance, blue indicated as-expected cinematic performance and orange indicates poor cinematic performance. I have split the logs into selected CPU, GPU and Other metics. As you can see in the log files, frame rates drop as low as 7 FPS and when they recover from there jump around massively. Everything in the GPU metrics drops off a cliff, including power input. I also found it interesting to note the performance limit indicators, shown below: Framerate [FPS] Performance Limit - Power [Yes/No] Performance Limit - Thermal [Yes/No] Performance Limit - Reliability Voltage [Yes/No] Performance Limit - Max Operating Voltage [Yes/No] Performance Limit - Utilization [Yes/No] RTSS GPU [#0]: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: GPU [#0]: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: GPU [#0]: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: GPU [#0]: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: GPU [#0]: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: 144 No No Yes Yes No 144 No No Yes Yes No 144 No No Yes Yes No 144 No No No No Yes 72 No No Yes No No 52 No No No No Yes 68 No No No No Yes 71 No No No No Yes 70 No No No No Yes 71 No No No No Yes 72 No No No No Yes 72 No No No No Yes 72 No No No No Yes 3 No No No No Yes 7 No No No No Yes 7 No No No No Yes 19 No No No No Yes 15 No No No No Yes 7 No No No No Yes 8 No No No No Yes 23 No No No No Yes 127 No No Yes No No 143 No No Yes No No 126 No No Yes No No 144 No No Yes No No 142 No No Yes No No 104 No No Yes No No 129 No No Yes No No 140 No No Yes No No 144 No No Yes No No 144 No No Yes No No Please can someone suggest what the issue(s) might be?

Hi, I have a 144hz monitor, but when using Gsync, some games get locked to 140fps when in borderless windowed mode. If I switch it to fullscreen, then everything works properly, and I can get much more than 140 fps. However, if I switch it back to borderless windowed, then it goes back to being capped at 140 fps. In the Gsync settings, I have it enabled for windowed and full screen mode. I'm using a 3700x + 3080 + x570 Tomahawk. I'm currently using two monitors: an AOC 24G2U as the main monitor, and an old 60hz monitor for as the secondary one, but this issue still happens if I just use one monitor. I've tried DDU, only using the AOC monitor, reinstalling monitor drivers, putting the GPU in the other slot, but nothing I've tried has helped. There's no cap in the Nvidia control panel, and I've reset the settings to make sure. The only way to fix this it to either disable Gsync, or play in fullscreen mode - none of which I would like to do, as I would like to be able to use the second monitor without the game I'm playing minimizing on my main monitor. I'd also like to be able to use Gsync. This doesn't happen for every game - eg. Cod Cold War is fine. However, it does happen for games like Apex Legends or CSGO. (I know by default, Apex caps your FPS to 144, but I've changed this.) I know technically you want to cap your FPS under 144 fps anyway, and it's what I usually do which is why I hadn't noticed the issue for ages. However, I was experiencing some stuttering, and so I uncapped the fps, but to my surprise, it was still stuck on 140. The main problem is, with this artificial FPS cap, it doesn't cap very well so the frametime graph is a little bumpy which leads to some stuttering feeling. If I put it to fullscreen (so the FPS is no longer artificially capped) and cap the FPS myself using RTSS, the frametime graph is flat, and it doesn't stutter. Therefore, I'd be happy to see if anyone has any fixes or suggestions to fix this issue, or if anyone has experienced this issue before. Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have a photo to show exactly what I mean, however I feel I can give adequate explanation; Sometimes I play gears of war 4 and after around 30 minutes it starts stuttering, getting progressively worse until I can't play anymore. Doing a benchmark generally shows 99% GPU bound, however when the game is stuttering it shows only 95% GPU bound and shoes spikes of CPU bound gameplay. Checking MSI afterburner shows no drops in CPU clock speed, nor any spikes in CPU usage (stays around 30%). When I restart the game, seemingly the issue goes away again. Has anyone had this issue? Can I just write it off as an issue with the software, rather than an issue with my rig/processor? Thanks

Recently playing through the campaign of Cold War I have experienced periodic stutter. It is not at a level which overall affects my ability to play the game, however it is frustrating that ever 3 or so seconds my game has a millisecond stutter because sometimes it throws your aim off. My components are not being maxed out at all, my framerate is capped at 141fps and my framerate rarely drops below this, hitting at its lowest around 138. However my frametime is extremely unstable as seen in the attached image. I have tested all my components several times before for issues with other games (severe freezing in Far Cry 1, constant stuttering in the Witcher 1 (however I have found this to be a result of a single core maxing out), however most games play relatively well; the Battlefield 2042 Beta barely had any stuttering on my system outside of framerate issues identified community wide), however all of my components seem to be error free and healthy. Any ideas or knowledge would be appreciated, thanks. NOTE: The top reading is my framerate, the bottom is frametime

So I've had my pc for about maybe 9 to 11 months, built it myself, and have been noticing frame drops on some games and where I've been able to see the most noticeable difference is Overwatch (ew I know). I run an rtx 2080 super 8gb vram, 16gb 3600mhz, ryzen 5 5600x, boot on m.2 ssd and extra sata ssd, and 1440p 144hz monitor. Now I'm able to run most of my games at max settings and I'm not too worried about running all my games at 144 fps, but when I play overwatch my settings are at max still at 1440p, display based fps and have never changed my settings and had no issues and I have an fps counter always on. Recently I've noticed that my frames are jumping all over the place from 154 (for some reason it goes that high on display based) to 70 to 100 and just keeps jumping up and down and very rarely has spasms of fps under 60. I've never seen any changes in other games because they don't have fps counters to see but I don't know my performance changed now even though my pc has had no issues before. Is there any explanation as to why my performance has gone down and ways to fix it?

I'm kind of frustrated with this issue, been beating my head on it for a couple days. Certain games that aren't even stressing the GPU much see massive framrate drops. One in particular is Crossout, which being a competitive game having hiccups can be difference in making a shot or not. It can output 300 FPS fine but there's constant dips. I've tried V-sync on and off, I've tried limiting the FPS in the game to the monitor refresh rate (120FPS), unlimited framerate, so on and so forth. GPU usage shows averaging around 35%, and it seems to dip down when framerates drop. but why is it dipping is what I don't understand. It's not overheating, I don't think, GPU temp settles around 54C. I have the profile in Lenovo Vantage set to Performance, Hybrid mode is Off. I put in 2x 2TB Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 drives, SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-2TB And I know I'm gonna get told don't do this, but having Chrome open and playing a Youtube video makes it much worse. Thing is, I feel like this computer should be able to handle that. GPU usage is still only maxing at 54% in that scenario. I don't understand why it's dipping. I turned off the Xbox gameplay recorder and the Nvidia overlay, so I don't think it's a disk related problem. I'm tempted to try turning off the pagefile. Maybe undervolt the CPU? Not sure what else to do.

Recently switched to PC and been battling to get the most out of my rig: i7-3770 GTX 1660 Super 24 GB 1333 MHz RAM MSi ZH77A-G43 motherboard 980 GB Kingston SSD 1 TB Western Digital HDD Finally achieved optimal performance without spending a dime extra. Here's how: 1. Run a Windows 10 debloater to clear the decks of unwanted garbage. 2. Check your RAM is dual channel (2x 4 GB sticks in the correct slots is empirically faster than 1x 8 GB stick etc.) 3. Download CCleaner and activate for 14 day trial. Run every service under every tab available. Make sure drivers are all updated and keep trying to push updates through if they fail - they should all eventually work. 4. Go online and make sure you got the latest graphics card drivers of your choice (usually Game Ready). 5. Make sure your operating system is running from an SSD (if you don't have one, even a quarter terabyte will do and they're relatively inexpensive these days) 6. Try get your game/games of choice all installed on SSD if possible. 7. If you're like me, then probably no extra cash for cooling. Cooling is more or less essential, especially in warmer climates. I reappropriated some old fans out dead PC's, all plugged into my MoBo and keep the side panel off while gaming. PC is on a surface top (chest of drawers) near a window with an old fan my dad gave me sending cool air from the window through to the PC. Sounds overkill but I rarely get temps above 55-60 C under heavy lifting so it works 8. If you can use Nvidia Control Panel and switch the handling of all colour on screen to your GPU, do it. Windows 10 sucks at HDR but your GPU doesn't. 9. Download and run PixelClock Patcher to remove software restrictions on your GPU. No, this wont hurt it. Yes, you should get 10-15 fps more, even on high end GPU's. (20-25 fps extra for me, same jump on a friend's 2070 Super). Needs to be patched after each driver update. 10. Download, install then run Malware Bytes Scanner. Malware slows everything down, especially while gaming. This should keep performance stable. 11. Install the Prio extension for Task Manager and when you run your game, tab across to it. Select your game .exe and set priority to 'realtime'. Now whatever your game wants, it gets from the system before everything else. Do this with all your games once to set the rules. 12. Install Razer Cortex, do the system boost and try launch all your games from it. In the options for the game boost, check everything so everything gets turned off while you're gaming. If you followed this whole list then run CCleaner again and reboot your PC. Can even uninstall MB Scanner and just keep the install .exe for next time, same with Pixel Clock Patcher. There's also overclocking of course. MSi Afterburner is the best tool for this. Word of warning though, what might work in benchmarking might not be stable enough for gaming. Prepare to temper your expectations, even if you think you have won the silicon lottery. I can only push 180 MHz on my core and 800 MHz on the memory. Would drop a word on Integer Scaler and batch commands but you're unlikely to need those unless your rig is underpowered or you plan on modding up retro games. As for in-game settings, each game is different and some are optimised well while others really aren't. Some rules of thumb though: - lighting effects eat frames - volumetrics (clouds, fog etc) eat lots of frames - shadows eats frames (usually not much difference between low/med/hi, only ultra) - aliasing eats frames (TAA looks best but is hungry) - level of detail eats frames (same rules as shadows) Try tuning the above in the first instance and if all else fails, just set everything to low and start bumping things one by one, process of elimination style. If you make sure you got RivaTuner Statistics running with monitoring options in Afterburner for CPU usage, GPU usage, CPU temp, GPU temp, average frames and memory usage checked, you'll have all the telemetry you need to see if temps are destabilising things or if a bottleneck exists in your CPU or GPU. Sorry for the essay. There's more but I'm writing this on my phone and pretty sure you can find tutorials on overclocking and upgrading components that will be far more entertaining and enlightening than I can offer here

Recently I noticed my monitor drops framerate after tabbing out of a variety of games (Destiny, Valheim, Apex). My monitor is 144hz and when this happens, it feels more like 40ish. The game itself reports normal framerates but even in the desktop, my mouse if clearly moving a bit more sluggishly. No settings on the system are changed from what I can tell and the only way to fix it is to restart my PC. Is there any way to prevent it from happening other than just not tabbing out? Thanks in advance!

Hello, was wondering could anyone tell me if perhaps there is something wrong with my graphics card or not. I currently have an Asus Zephyrus Ga502D with the gtx 1660 ti max q. And have been experiencing lag/fr drops to the point of unplayablity. Like, even with POE Deadfire!!! But lately I’ve tried over clocking, but don’t really know what I’m doing besides the fact that you can’t adjust voltage or anything on the Max Q series , just the core clock and the other. So I don’t mess with it. Well, a little, with Heaven I’m getting no problems. But then I tried Dark Pictures plague tale innocence and experienced lag/drops....playable but still. And what’s weird is, the game(s) automatically adjust to ALL ULTRA settings, and I’ve heard ppl play with this card with no issues...where is the card located on the body, bc I also have a fan clicking/whirring a bit on the right side the more I switch it to, like performance mode ...I’m just disheartened bc this was a rental and I’ve paid it off but it actually cost ME twice as much... should I send it back(still under warranty) thanks

Recently got a gpu and can't figure out why I can't get any higher than 59 FPS. I've seen a rx580 get 80 fps. I'm new to building a pc so I'm stumped on how to get more fps. Do I need to overclock?

Hey all, So I'm running a rig with a RTX3070 and AMD 5600X; I haven't given my full system specs as I don't need information pertaining specifically too my rig, but just more of a general understanding of potential factors. I booted up Far Cry 5 for the first time and played it, however I noticed it felt a little off. Running benchmarks showed that at 1080p it would shoot to high FPS, and have drops all the way down below 100 at certain points, on average sitting around 140ish however my GPU sat at around 60% and CPU at 50% usage. I upped the resolution to 1440p and my framerate stayed exactly the same? Stuttering in the same places too the same amount? All that changed was my GPU usage increased to 80%. Is this a thing? Why would I be dropping frames but sitting well below full hardware usage? (I also have 16gb ram, but only used around 12) Thanks

CPU: AMD 2600x GPU: RTX 2070 Super RAM: Corsair 16GB 3000Mhz Motherboard: Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming SSD: Intel 660p 2TB PSU: Seasonic 750W Gold Windows 10 64 Bit I've been having this issue for months now where my GPU usage in COD games (and also other games I play) is no where where it should be (55-70% usage) along with my CPU hovering around 50-60%. I know its not that severe of a CPU bottleneck because I've seen videos of both 1080p and 1440p where the GPU usage is well into the 90's and consistently staying there. I even have done a fresh install of windows multiple times (including yesterday) and have the latest drivers for my GPU and motherboard. This leaves me to assume that it is a hardware problem which I have no problem replacing but I just don't know which component could be the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated to figure out what is wrong! Video showing low usage:

I am playing Watch Dogs Legion at the moment and attempting to play the game at a consistent smooth 60fps. My monitor however is 75 fps and my computer isn't able to get a stable framerate that high so i cap the game at 60. This helps but the game is still jittery so I cap the actual games output at 60fps. This greatly improves the smoothness but I notice that my colours become greatly washed out. Is there anyway to keep my colours as they were at 75 fps if I cap the games output below my monitors refresh rate?

I never had an issue like this ever. The night of the new season (12/6/2022) around 8pm est, when I went to open rocket league, it opened with a windowed border(as seen in the attached image). The same time this happens, I think its odd but I start playing a game. Extremely bad framerate like something Ive never had with this PC. I have a VICTUS HP nvdia geforce rtx intel core i5. I dont know the specs beyond this. What would be the issue? Why is this randomly happening now, the odds that it happened right at the last day of the season? What can I do to solve this? The game is unplayable right now with the frames the way they are, although compared to yesterday, it seems better today. Still bad.

It's been a while since I visited this subject but iirc, It's not a bad thing if your over producing frames past what your monitor supports right? Pretty sure this is an obvious question, but, I just want some extra clarification.

My friend cant play ow2 because his frames drop to like 30, but his CPU and GPU utilization are at about 30%. The temps are around 50, and this started happening a little after the launch of ow2 i believe. He has all the same settings enabled as me in game, and we have pretty similar PCs. (I get around 200fps). This isn't an issue in any other game, which leads me to believe it's either a setting somewhere or it's a bug of some sort. He said he doesn't want to update bios cause he doesn't have flash bios or something, and idk what else we can try. He has also reinstalled the game btw. Edit: His frames are not capped in any way
