Gaming Issue

[Fluffalicious]

Alright, I have an issue with games that are both stressing the graphics card, and the processor. I'll have specs below, but I have a pretty decent PC. I feel like this type of thing shouldn't be happening. Let me explain the issue. When I'm in Grand Theft Auto 5 and The Division. I get these stutters. It will be smooth at 60 then the whole game just jolts then goes back to 60. It's not frame drops, it's different then that. The whole game will freeze for a split second and audio will also cut out for the same amount of time(only in game, all other sounds like music or voice chat won't be effected). Games like Overwatch run just fine without these stutters. I opened up MSI Afterburner and when these stutters happen, the gpu usage will drop really low. CPU usage won't effected. I have an EVGA 1070 SC ACX 3.0 card. I used to have an AMD r9 280x and this issue didn't happen with that card. I've tried many different things to try and fix this issue, but nothing has solved it. So I am now asking help from higher knowledge to see if anyone has had this issue and has a fix for it, or just anyone knows what's up and what to do. Thanks for your time to anyone who read this whole thing. I know its a lot LOL.

 

Also, if you need more information from me, just ask and I'll provide as best as I can.

 

Specs:

Motherboard: MSI H81m-e34

CPU: i5-4690k OC 4ghz stock voltage(the stutter issue also occured when this CPU at stock)

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

GPU: 1070 EVGA SC

Storage: Boot Drive: Kingston 120GB SSD Hard Drive: Seagate 500gb 7200RPM

what's your PSU? that could be an issue.  I'm just gonna saw that that board has pretty crappy VRM even for an i5 4690K, barely 3 phase for vCore, consider upgrading that, it might be a cause of some issue.

I have thought that the motherboard was the issue, but it wasn't permanent anyways, I plan to upgrade to an i7-7700 in a few months so I won' bother replacing it. As for the PSU, its a Corsair CX 750M. Brand new, I bought it last week because I thought my 500 watt EVGA PSU was the issue.

That should be more than enough, my guess is it is board related. Carefully finger the VRM packages to see if they're hot, but be careful, they can run up to 125°C, which would burn you if it's close to that.

lol. I'm just going to say that the motherboard is probably the issue. Which I figured, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks for your help man. Really appreciate it.

well, it's the easiest to blame, but there might be other issues, the GTX 1070 might be at fault, it was new and until then it wasn't an issue, maybe reinstall the drivers for everything from the chipset to the GPU again in case.

I've had this GPU since last August, and it's hard to remember, but I think it started sometime in November or December. But I had to RMA my GPU in February because of coil whine and the new and old one did that so I think its down to a motherboard or driver issue. Highly doubt that I would get two gpus that have the same exact issue.

yes, I doubt that too. I'd say motherboard then.
