Are frametimes meant to vary like this?

So I recently have been having problems in games with stuttering in games.

 

I solved it by uninstalling the Nvidia HD audio driver. It seems it was conflicting with my Audio interface. 

 

I used latency mon to check and it is now OK.

 

However after analysing the frame times in multipole game sI can see that they are not steady with a capped framerate.

 

For example in the picture you can see that they are going up and down very slightly.

 

Is this normal behaviour?

 

I distinctly recall last time I checked oon an older system in Rainbow Six siege (although the game I am testing is not that now) the framemtimes were rock solid with a capped framerate

 

3070, 5600x

check your vram usage

 

if it's near max utilization, this can potentially happen

 

this shouldn't have happened with rainbow 6 though

 

whats your settings and resolution_

This didn't happen in rainbow I don't play that now this is other games. I have to install rainbow to test and its a very large file.

 

My Vram usage is 4gb

 

1440p settings dont effect the frametimes much, as Im capped at 120fps

This could also be afterburner not measuring it correctly,  not sure but mine looks mostly the same  - regardless of which GPU I'm using,  but when I use Nvidia gfe to monitor my frame (or render?) times are rock solid and less than half what afterburner tells me too (I'm just not sure it's actually measuring the same thing tbh)
