New computer and game rendering issues.

[FrancoisH]

Hello,

 

Despite watching LTT videos frequently, I never posted here yet.

 

I just made a brand new computer:

Computer:      MSI MS-7B45
CPU:           Intel Core i7-8700K (Coffee Lake-S, U0)
               3700 MHz (37.00x100.0) @ 4501 MHz (45.00x100.0)
Motherboard:   MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (MS-7B45)
BIOS:          A.60, 07/09/2018
Chipset:       Intel Z370 (Kaby Lake)
Memory:        32768 MBytes @ 1333 MHz, 16-18-18-39
               - 16384 MB PC21300 DDR4 SDRAM - Kingston KHX2666C16/16G
               - 16384 MB PC21300 DDR4 SDRAM - Kingston KHX2666C16/16G
Graphics:      MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X/X+
               NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, 8192 MB GDDR5X SDRAM
Drive:         WDC WD2003FZEX-00SRLA0, 1953.5 GB, Serial ATA 6Gb/s @ 6Gb/s
Drive:         KINGSTON SA1000M8960G, 937.7 GB, NVMe
Sound:         Intel Kaby Lake - High Definition Audio / cAVS (Audio, Voice, Speech) [A0]
Sound:         NVIDIA GP104 - High Definition Audio Controller
Network:       Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V
Network:       Intel 8265 Tri-Band WiFi (Oak Peak) Network Adapter
OS:            Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Build 17134.228 (1803/RS4)

I am quite satisfied with this new rig but I have a few issues :

• Playing FFXV on recomended settings, I had big stuttering. I tried the mod K and a few adjustment and it seems to solve almost the issue.
• Playing The Witcher 3, I had odd stutering too, I did switch to the nVidia adaptive VSync rather the one from the game, this almost solved the issue.
• Playing LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, which played well on my old computer, I have random huge stutterings, almost freezes... Can't pinpoint what is causing that.

Despite having fabulous gameplay on heavily modded Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster huge parks, fabulous experience in Assassin's Creed Origin and getting both the GPU at 100%, the CPU is handling it quite well. THe funiest part is the stutters come on games that don't use fully either the GPU and the CPU... So this isn't, as far as I know, a bottelneck issue.

 

Is it my computer is too powerful for lego games? Did I miss something in the drivers (all up to date).

 

I know it is not a cooling issue (no throttling, don't happens on those game). I did notice it could be an issue with either shadows or shaders, as certain effects seems to be the begining of some occurence, but not always...

 

So if anyone can help me.

 

Thanks.

Turn off frame aync?

[mymande]

try to limit your your frame rate depending of your monitor (144hz 144fps) could be your monitor not able to handle 300+ fps from lego

@mymande I thought the vertical sync should take care of it , don't it? Or should I use something like Afterbuner/RivaTuner server to do so?
