Stutter, Stutter and more Stutter

[MomoBott]

Hello everyone, 

 

I've somewhat recently built a new PC and have had many issues with stuttering while gaming. I have essentially attempted to do everything I can think of, and I am starting to believe it may be a driver/software issue. I have used DDU to clean drivers, I have done a clean install of Windows on a new SSD, and of course, I messed with some smaller settings within the bios. When doing stress tests, nothing seems to pop out as unusual. Honestly, I am completely stumped and beginning to have thoughts of just purchasing new parts. Would appreciate any insight.

 

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce OC 4070

CPU: 5800X3D (Undervolted)

Ram: Gskill trident z neo (2x16) (3600)

Mobo: Aorus X570 Elite

PSU: Seasonic Gold 650watt

OS: Windows 11 Home

check if your ssd is in good health , it is not bottlenecking with your other hardware and vice versa, and try to run some gpu benchmarks and check how they are performing with your 4070

You can try this guide (in addition to what others have recommended). If you have a GPU riser cable, you can try removing that as they are notorious for causing issues.

Yes everything is up to date. I have made sure of this multiple times.

Have you tried without XMP?

 

Tried disabling the Multiplane Overlay MPO?

I have tried with XMP off. I have not tried turning off MPO. To be honest I'm not entirely sure what that is.

Most likely your overclock/undervolt isn't stable try resetting everything to default in BIOS and then turn off XMP, leaving it at auto speeds. If it works, then first try with XMP on, then you'll need to work on that undervolt. You can also try with manually setting the primary timings on the memory, dram voltage and frequency. My PC isn't stable with the XMP profile for example and I have manually tweaked it

Done that. Set xmp to disable (2133) and turned off undervolt completely and the stutter still occurs.

(Undervolted)

but why?  u can't troubleshoot with any overclocks etc.

 

reset bios leave everything at default,  remove any weird 3rd party apps like NZXT cam etc. all of them.

screenshot of the startup tab please?  

 

also please run firestrike benchmark (demo on steam) and post a link to the results here.

Yeah, just explaining how the pc is normally set up.

Startup as in BIOS? 

Also, here are my results for firestrike.

so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your pc (at all)

 

maybe just game related issues.  have you considered using vsync?

no, startup tab:

If you followed the guide I linked to, it should have a whole section dedicated to collecting the data required to have a better chance of troubleshooting. If you edit your OP and add that data (per the guide), there's a better chance we can figure out what in tarnation is going on.

I'm working on doing all those as we speak for the troubleshooting list you provided.

well that's a lot of bloatware, remove it all, reset BIOS and make sure all drivers are up to date, especially BIOS and chipset

yeah... dont do that, reset CMOS, update BIOS and chipset, dont touch any settings (as per above)
