Stutters and low FPS.

[lexar512]

copied my post from reddit.

 

mainly playing PUBG. Getting anywhere from 144 to 6 FPS. but usually 40-50 fps. does not feel stable but that's what the counter says.

what iv'e tried:

- Turned it off and on :^]

- Updated all drivers :^)

- overclocked GPU.

-"underclocked" GPU 

- turning down all settings in pubg.

- messed around with Nvidia control panel settings.

- Tried 750W PSU

- reformatted PC to factory settinngs

 

i have pictures from CPUID, pictures from Haven benchmark and video where i play a game. but it is alot of pictures so i'll post on request

 

additional information:

my pc did not display anything on screen, power keyboard or mouse. the way i "fixed" this was by re-seating all cables. draining PSU, then plug only the power cable in again and start wait 5 sec and then plug all cables in again. i came across this setting called fast start up which i disabled and it seems to be working fine now. 

 

thanks in advance for any input on this

I feel like frame times might help? Could you see if you could send those over?

[lexar512]

i will provide you with frame times if you explain how i get a hold of them.

[lexar512]

i have a recording of me with frametime displayed on-screen. but now that im thinking it would probably be better if i had a graph?

When you say you tinkered with the nvidia control settings, which ones exactly? Have you tried turning on G-Sync or Fast Sync? You might be stuttering because your frame time is out of sync with your monitors refresh rate. You can also try bench marking it to get your average highest frame rate. If 40-50 fps is the most you get, then you might as well lock the target frame rate at that number and call it a day. You might get a more stable performance that way as well.

dropping this graph of frametime here. this is in training, fullscreen, g-sync off, 30 fps cap

Did the stuttering stop? If not, I suggest you try it with G-Sync on. This is assuming you have a G-Sync monitor, at which point you can just use Fast Sync. 

[lexar512]

and to answer your question about nvidia control panel. i have done stuff but now i just quick picked performance option.

[lexar512]

when i was playing the game earlier and did a recording. i got roughly 20 ms frametime. but spiked to 100-200 on occasions. now that im in training (smaller map) i get a higher Frametime. but no stuttering is still a problem. the graph does not look steady in my opinion.

@BlackManINC tried gsync also same story

Where do you have your games and operating system installed, your HDD or SSD?

[lexar512]

SSD. 140 GB left aswell.

Your games and operating system are on the SSD?

[lexar512]

got a steadier frametime now. but im still getting graph increase when moving around the character.

[lexar512]

yes @BlackManINC

What’s your RAM, CPU and GPU load while playing? Your CPU is quite slow and you also don’t have much RAM, I would bet it’s one of them two.

I'm assuming your operating system is up to date. I would also suggest updating your bios, but you have an HP computer, and HP is a problem when it comes to this. The last company I'd buy a computer from at all is HP. HP is ass liquid, I had one just last year, and the last time they provided an update for my old computer was seven years ago. You can try and get a bios update from the link. If not, customer service might give you one, the problem is they will likely charge you for the service. If this were me, I'd be looking to replace this computer with another one enteily, because for some reason HP is allowed to sell PC's without updating to the bios.

Oh yeah, you should also get another 8 gbs of ram as well, and that CPU usage rate is a bit too high. It shows that your CPU could be bottle necking the performance. 

[lexar512]

@BlackManINC I am never buying HP again, not buying pre-built either. but i gotta work with what i got atm. 

[lexar512]

@BlackManINC i tried downloading a new BIOS update but i cant update bc HP says it is an older version.
