New system stuttering

[dannlupil]

I'm having stuttering in-game and in windows and am unsure what is going on. I took my system to Bestbuy to get it tested (i bought all my parts there), they figured it was my 3080 FE so they ran their MRI tests on it. It passed every benchmark with stuttering on the GPU. In the end, I was told to just “break it in” since it’s still relatively new. Unless I am wrong, this is not an accurate answer, I’m not really sure what to do at this point. I've tried reinstalling windows, reinstalling drivers, using ddu to clean out gpu drivers, vsync/nvidia control panel vsync, turning DOCP on/off, disabling xbox gamebar, and reseating the gpu and ram. Could this stuttering be caused by a motherboard bios setting I'm not aware of? The current driver version on my GPU is 511.17 and mobo bios is 4022. I have used latencymon and it is telling me the gpu driver is causing the most latency. I'm seeing jumps all over the place in the latency reports. I have also been told to upgrade my power supply but am unsure if that would even do anything. Anyone else have this mobo and similar problems? I also use an old displayport cable, could the cable be going bad? I know for a fact its not the RAM because I swapped it out for new ones and still getting the same issues.

There are so very many possible causes of stuttering.  It’s a “mostly works fine but with marginal hitches from something” kinda issue so there are a whole bunch of possibilities for what is causing it and they tend to be subtle.  I will just pick one and randomly go after a possible heat issue:

 

Is this a prebuilt or a whitebox? If it’s a prebuilt did you add any cards? 
 

Im assuming the thing was checked for big dust problems.  Was it

 

When they tested the gpu did they do it in your machine or pull it a land test it in something else?

 

Are you noticing high temps anywhere?

The entire system was built by me. I just bought my parts from a local Bestbuy. The system was not checked for dust, but that may not be an issue since I clean my stuff monthly. All tests they performed were done in my system. Temps seem fine too, CPU max temp is 61C and gpu max is 80C. I’m pretty sure those temps are normal? Is there anything else I should check? I tried to get them to try other things such as swapping components like how you suggested, but they were hesitant. I think I might have to swap everything until I find the culprit I guess.

So a whitebox desktop.  Need a list of the parts used.  Of particular interest are case model, PSU age and wattage, memory size and location, and power system.  Whether the temps are normal depend on the make and model.  Is for some isnt for others.

Do you have fTPM switched on? It might cause stuttering, so it's probably worth a shot to test with fTPM switched off.

Although I feel like the way you mention it, you're having it pretty often/constantly, so it might not be the cause.

Here is everything I am using:

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X 4.05Ghz with Kraken Z63

Motherboard: Asus Tuf Gaming plus wifi X570

RAM: Two 8 Gb Corsair Vengence RGB pro (16Gb) 3200MHz running dual channel. It is in slots 2 and 4, DIMMS B2 and A2.

GPU: RTX 3080 FE

Storage: 500Gb Samsung 970 EVO Plus and 1Tb Samsung 980 Pro NVME M.2

PSU: CX750M 80+ Bronze grey edition 750Watt, it's about 9 months old.

Case: H510i from NZXT.

Monitor: VN279 from ASUS 60hertz

Power system: Ryzen Balanced power plan

 

*Everything I have is less than a year old*

I'm not sure if this is what you meant by power system? If not let me know and I'll update it, thanks!

Sadly you are correct. Thanks for the suggestion though!

My machine wants to be your system when it grows up (or reincarnated perhaps? My system isn’t old enough to drive but I think it’s old enough to be vaccinated)
 

it is AMD and a thing one checks with AMD is did they already fix whatever it is with a bios update. 
 

also just found a new LTT video 

might apply. Haven’t really started watching it yet.

Haha thanks a bunch. Sadly I tried turning off the CState in bios and it didn't do anything, at least that's what I think. However, last night I decided to pick up the 2021 version of the RM1000X. This helped out the stutter quite a bit but i still see it every now and then (ingame only), I think this was related to the PSU in some form. My version of windows just doesn't seem smooth, it looks unstable if that makes any sense? I've been even considering what would happen if I put on windows 11, could i revert back to windows 10 if I did? Now all I got left is either the CPU or motherboard, not sure what the problem is. I'm running SMART tests and scans on my NVMEs now, so far they are checking out there too. I also got this weird black bar that I cannot close either have no idea what it is.

750w is often barely adequate for a 3080. If you’ve got a really good 750 it’s apparently can do it.  People with OCed intel PSUs and 3800s though have been known do get 1000w PSUs for them.
