Stuttering in games, psu problem?

[Martin1999]

I just swapped mobo and cpu. My specs are:

-Asus ROG STRIX H390- F 

-Asus GTX 1070 8gb

-G Skill ripjaws 2x8gb ddr4 KIT 3200mhz

-corsair CX 550M psu 

-I7 9700k cpu 

-1 HDD 1ssd 

 

Im seeing some stuttering in games and in MSI afterburner i can se The dips in The graph of dram usage, gpu usage etc, could it be the psu?  Everything seems fine in hw monitor but i have no idea at this point, im no expert so please help me figure this out!

 

Thanks

Is there any way you can try another video card and see how it runs, and if it stuttering and what not.

It's tough to diagnose, but I absolutely have seen this problem fixed with a new PSU. Though my first check would be the video card as said above. 

 

Maybe a weird consideration, but maybe the PSU is being a little too stressed. Try a significant underclock/undervolt, just for curiosity of less power draw. If no major difference, at that point maybe try a different video card. 

 

But it sounds so good in theory. Not so much when you have a brand new rig that aught to be working properly..

Psu and gpu is about 1 year old, and everything  Else is Brand new but maybe the psu isnt performing as well as it used to? Idk but i will try The underclock suggestion!

Might ask a friend to try his 1060, could you explain what might be wrong with my gpu? It runs most games with 100+ FPS its just the damn stuttering... Thanks a lot for The help

I mean it could be a simple driver issue.

 

Just check out Guru3D for an older WHQL driver, just to see if it remedies the problem. At that point, you can just try your best to find one that doesn't show the issue.

 

On AMD side, I've tried drivers that I thought had totally broken my computer lol. Just had to play around a bit and they ended up totally fine! I guess these are all the benefits of a console, huh?

Yup i had soooo many issues this time building haha, i actually upgraded because of the stuttering and random FPS drops, certain games would suddenly drop to below 40 FPS and lag like crazy until i restarted the game.. this was on a ryzen 5 1600 cpu and a cheap motherboard so i thought an upgrade would fix it all but here we are  at least the system is future proof now

I will try The drivers too, just downloaded The newest one so it could be a driver issue too

Just wanted to add that i for some reason couldnt Get my gpu to run from the first PCI slot (PCI_16x 1) so it’s now running from The second slot if that’s of any relevance

Wow, okay that's interesting. I mean I remember back on my old FX-8350 rig, the Asus motherboard I was using, I think had one PCI 2.0 and one 3.0, and I remember it acting weird when I would try to crossfire. But your issue could be as simple as a BIOS setting. For right now, if what you're doing is working, maybe just leave it and worry about it later lol. Baby steps.
