game hitching after 20 ish minutes of gameplay.

[Guggenheim.]

to clarify the title, the game does not stutter, the fps is high and smooth, its more like the frame time rises (even though i cant observe it in the graph) and it looks like the game is slowing down and speeding up many times over. in moments there is a terrible input lag and inputs show up after 1 second or more, even though the fps is yet again high. its a terrible thing to look at and especially nauseating in games. neither do the gpu or cpu get too hot and the frequencies seem to all be in check. i have never had this problem and have no idea what it may be, hopefully someone can help.

Specs
ryzen 5 3600x (stock freq)

ddr4 16gb ram (3600mhz)
rx5700 xt (again stock freq)

Check driver update. 

Download Hwinfo or Hwmonitor and check maximum temperature underload (don't tab-out).

 

It sounds like it's overheating due to old paste or you run out of ram and it's using pagefile as ram.

 

Run a disk cleanup (easiest way is using Microsoft's PC Manager) and SFC/Scannow may also help with that issue

thanks for the reply. i did check temps as it was my first thought. cpu doesnt go over 56 celcius and gpu 71. both way under their respective max temps. will check driver updates and ram though

Neither sounds too hot indeed, but you should also check clock frequency and utilization. As the system sounds like been bottlenecked at somewhere causeing everything to throttle back/waiting for data.

 

Keep an eye on your SSD too see if it gets stuck at 100% utilization (use crystaldiskinfo and check if any "OE" is reported)

an gpu driver update has seemingly fixed the issue. will update further if anything arises.
