MICRO STUTTER on Desktop/ in Games. Tried so many Solutions but nothing works [Strong PC]

[SenfPenner]

Hello !

This is my very first post in a forum and I hope I can set an END to annoying micro stutters.

 

First of all my PC Build : 

 

Windows 10 64bit 21H1

CPU: i9 9900K Intel CPU
GPU: AORUS RTX 2080 Ti XTREME 11G
RAM: 4x16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB C14

MB: Z390 AORUS XTREME
SSD: Samsung 970 2TB Nvme M.2
HDD: Seagate 2TB (Not using it at all)
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB Plus Titanium 1250W
Monitors :  2x ROG PG258Q 240Hz on 1080p

Mouse: Logitech G903 + LGHub Software

Keyboard: Razer Ornata v2

 

Things I already tried:

 

- Fresh Install with Windows Media Tool, USB

- Uninstalled the bloat that comes with Windows fresh install

-installed latest Bios update

- installed all new possible drivers by hand, offline

- Checked it out on a new SSD, still stutters

 -& Samsung NVMe drivers and Samsung Magican

- slightly Overclocked CPU/ GPU to look if something changes and reverted

- "Highest Performance" Settings (Powerplan, Nvidia, ingame)

- emptystandbylist.exe

- DDU and checked other Nvidia Drivers

- Also did the "Full Control" trick with renaming GameBar Presence Writer (YT Vid)

- Micro Stuttering Fix in Windows 10 (YT VID)

  ->Quick CPU for optmizing

  ->bcdedit /set useplatformclock no, bcdedit /set useplatformtick yes, bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes (reverted it bc it got worse)

  -> MSI Mode and checked my GPU

  -> Interrupt Affinity Tool set mask for GPU to the best CPU Cores possible

- RAM Cache cleared

- General System Responsiveness/ Input Lag Tweaks (Without Software)

- Disables Gamebar and the Windows Game Mode

- GSync/ VSync and the selectable options in the Nvidia Control Panel

- Changed windows performance option to “Programs” instead of “Background Services”

- GSync Technoligy disabled and set to highest Refreshrate, and checked the other way Around

- Checked my DP cables, changed them to check, put in other ports

- Disabled HPET (High precision event timer)

- sfc scan 

- disabled or turned off Unnecessary Background proccesses

 

There are so many things I tried and maybe missed to write down.

 

This march I suffered from microstutter and I somehow fixed it, with overclocking my Monitor to 241Hz or somehow. All I can say it didnt work this time.

Is there a programm that causes stutter ? Shouldnt it be Windows related ?

Its frustrating that nothing helps whatsoever...

 

If there are any questions to my system. Please hit me up.

My LatencyMon stats attached. They are too good, measured them not a while ago.

I really looking forward to get help and finally fix this issue, it drives me crazy !

Thank you in advance !

Are both of these monitors running at the appropriate refresh rate? Does the problem persist if you only have one monitor connected?

i agree, two monitors and also display cable can lead to random stutters, input lag etc for me also. 

 

I dont think theres a fix, its a monitor/cable/windows and probably gsync problem.

 

 

Issues go mostly away when using HDMI cable however (which disables gsync) 

 

 

PS: my screen looks the same than yours… (over dp cable) very jerky, ghosting, motion blur galore 

 

And yes, also visible on videos, strangely enough!

Damnit I forgot to write that one Monitor is running on 144Hz and the other on 240Hz.

I unplugged the other monitor with 144Hz and the problem was still there.

 Strange that a week ago before I refreshed windows, everything was alright.

I now tryed out the HDMI cable on the 144Hz Monitor, but the stuttering continued unfortunately.

Tryed out the HDMI cable, with restart of course.

Ok I found something out, which could be the issue.

When I was starting to play Sea of Thieves, there was Micro stutter of course but these ones were so extrem that it was not able to play.

As an addition to that I was running HWiNFO64 for a log, for what I can monitor and see where exactly the stutter can come from.

 

Long Story short: HWiNFO64 stats were perfectly no issues whatsoever, BUT when I connected my Mouse (G903 Logitech) to the cable to charge, the stutters were gone !

 

I cant buck it up to a 100%, if its frequency based cause I use the LAN connection through the power outlet and its frequency output is jamming the mouse. Or the mouse is malfunctioning.

 

I ordered the same mouse today, lets see if there will be micro stutter after that.
