Games not running well

[Nickolass]

Hey guys, so recently ive been getting frame spikes in game. I then ran cinebench and heaven and a few other stress testers and my scores were perfectly fine, so that eliminates the gpu and cpu as the problem. The only other thing I could see casuing this is my ram. Which ive been told wont cause spikes in game but I dont really know. Anybody know anything?

ryzen 7 3700x

DDU the GPU drivers and reinstall them.

When you say ‘frame spikes’ are the frames jumping up or dropping down?

Dropping down

Is this only recently and it was working fine before? If so, you need to work out what has changed from before if you've eliminated cpu & gpu. Do a mem test to see if the RAM is faulty but I find that unlikely if everything else is running fine. Have you updated GPU drivers? If so, try rolling back to an earlier one and see if it happens still.

What is a good mem test program?

memtest86 or memtest86+ are always recommended, and I think some BIOS have it built in, or Linux distros in the grub (unRAID). But I also had this issue a few years back, CPU and GPU died together. And I'm still running the RAM in my current system, which used to not overclock with XMP but does now. It's a haunting issue. I also just commented on another thread just started not too long ago with the same issue.

Did you ever figure out the issue?

Sadly, no. My CPU and GPU both died at the same time, so I had to use my second system for a few months 'till they were replaced. After rebuilding, it was so long I kinda forgot and was just relieved to not deal with it anymore. My best guess is power issues, but my SSD where my OS was, was also failing later on so it could've been that. But @bryce backer said they've tried swapping drives too, and I still use the same PSU and mobo together as my second system. I don't game on it but use it for recording and don't have any framerate issues.

I currently just got a new psu and am using a ups.
