Why does this happen?

[Guest]

as you can see in this video around the 3 second mark, my game microstutters or freezes or whatever its called my cpu usage increases and my gpu power decreases why is that?

 

RTX 3080 

r7 5800x

32gb ram 

win 10

850w psu gx850 80+ gold from seasonic

 

 

i didnt overclock anything and yes xmp is on and pretty much anything software related is dealt with for example no extreme background apps running and all that

What's the RAM clockspeed and timings? Make and model would be great too. Also what's the specs on the drive the game is running off of? Windows boot drive as well, if different.

3200mhz cl16 corsair vengeance rgb pro. its running on an m.2 sata drive kingston a400 which is the os drive

No obvious suspects so far. It's such a minor stutter that maybe that might be due to running at a slower FLCK because of the 3200Mhz RAM, but not really comfortable saying that with any degree of real certainty.

 

How persistent is this? Are you seeing these stutters constantly or was this a mostly isolated incident? Do you notice it in any other games?

yeah they happen pretty consistently in forza horizon and days gone. they dont happen at all in cyberpunk or valorant. i dont know what to suspect

I know Forza is CPU bound. It's what basically every reviewer uses to check for CPU bottlenecks. Not sure about the others. Stutters are almost always CPU related anyways, so you're more apt to see it in a CPU heavy title, anyways. I'm just not seeing anything obviously wrong there except 3200MHz RAM, which shouldn't really be an issue. It's just the only weak point.

i could show you other games that do this, it happens pretty frequently in other games not all of them though

for example here in days gone if you focus on the gpu wattage it drops to 317 watts then goes back to its normal 330-340w range. the gpu usage also dropped and the game clearly stopped for a half a second there and came back

I'm having a hard time reading the numbers in the video, but it looks like you're getting an avg of 160FPS, but 1% low of 20FPS in Forza. That's pretty dramatic, and definitely explains the stutter with that kind of frame dip. So weird.

 

What's the RAM config? 2 or 4 sticks? If 2, which slots are they in? What's your mobo? Do you have the latest Nvidia driver installed? What resolution are you running at here? Is your monitor G-sync or G-sync compatible (FreeSync Premium)? Is adaptive sync enabled on the monitor? Is G-sync enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel?

4 sticks. b550 tomahawk. yes i have latest nvidia driver installed. im running 2560x1440. my monitor is a g7 odyssey it is compatible with gsync i think and i have gsync enable in nvidia control panel. quick note, this problem was happening to me before i even got this monitor so i dont think its a monitor problem

Yeah, it was more to check if it was a G-sync problem. Try disabling G-sync. You'll likely start to see tearing, but I'm interested in whether it still stutters.
