Is stuttering fps common? GTX 1070

I recently bought a 1070 and i'm concerned that something might be wrong with it.

 

I'm not running insane graphics or anything and I'm playing games like TW3 or Arkham City, and I keep getting issues with stuttering when I enter a new world or turn a corner in a city.

 

My 290x didn't have any issues like this with the same settings, so I'm worried that something is wrong with my 1070.

 

Any help is appreciateeed.

most likely a cpu bottleneck.
have you removed the drivers with ddu before switching?

I have used DDU. I can try switching the DX11 and DX12 but I don't think they both run it.

 

However, why is it the 290x didn't have these problems and the 1070 does?

Maybe cuz GTX 1070 is twice as powerful of a GPU ?

I was thinking that the 1070 could just be forcing the CPU to throttle, but I couldn't justify that with low settings. I could see that if I was trying to run ultra settings and the CPU couldn't keep up, but if the settings are the same...then I couldn't explain why the cpu would be the bottle neck.

 

 

I just want to make sure its not the 1070, are there are any tests you can run to rule out the 1070?

Monitor CPU and GPU usage in games. I prefer MSI Afterburner and the bundled RTSS to show live data in game.

I have been doing that.

 

On witcher 3 (on ultra settings) the GPU runs at 100% usage but on the lower settings neither the GPU and CPU run at 100% both have enough head room.

 

Also, when the stuttering happens the CPU isn't at 100% usage.... so................ it isn't the CPU?

Check CPU and gpu usage while gaming. If the CPU usage constantly hits the 90s or 100% then it's a CPU bottleneck.

Have you tried playing around with settings in Nvidia control panel ? I usualy fine tune all my games from there to evade and conflicts with in game settings. Or run a synthetic benchmark like 3D Firestrike and see what results you get compared other with same or similiar specs, that could possibly indicate if youre being bottlenecked by something in the system.

1080p resolution, sorry.

 

And the GPU is usually at 90-100% in TW3 ultra settings.

 

The CPU is usually below it.

That's a CPU bottleneck. The 4590 isn't fast enough to keep up. Crank up the settings or use DSR until you hit full usage on your GPU. This will result in no loss of FPS.

I have. I ran unigine valley 1.0 and I think I had similar scores/fps averages as most people.

I'm not sure what DSR is, but I've brought the settings to ULTRA on TW3 and it runs with really high usage on my GPU. But I still get that stuttering.

Dynamic super resolution. I renders the game at a higher resolution than your monitor then downscales it back down to your native resolution. I have to use it in games like CS GO because otherwise my 1080 ti only sits at about 20% usage at 1080p ultra settings at the 300fps cap and I get micro stuttering. So I have to render the game at 4K to bring up the usage to prevent stuttering. Super first world problem :D

LOL if your GPU already has high usage i doubt it'll help. One more option worth a try is maybe changing power modes in Windows Control Panel, if its set to save power system might struggle at times.
