I payed my friend a visit and plugged my GPU in his PC and it worked fine. Presumably caused by GPU sag damaging the main PCIe slot, which I had neither noticed before nor had known about until the whole problem arose. In the end, I just built a PC with everything new except the GPU, oh an...

It was my mobo. I checked in GPU-Z and CPU-Z, my GPU was working at bus interface PCIe x2 instead of PCIe x16. After I realized that, I payed my friend a visit and plugged my GPU in his PC and it worked fine. Presumably caused by GPU sag damaging the main PCIe slot, which I had neither noticed...

Is it fine to update it if on the "CPU support list" on Asrock's website it says that P4.00 is the latest Validated BIOS version for my processor (and not "All")? I plugged my GPU in my friend's rig and it ran at x8 3.0, not x2 3.0 but not x16 3.0 either (his GPU ran at x16 like normal), even...

Hello everyone, My PC is 4 years old and had been working perfectly until about 5 months ago. All games I play started micro stuttering occasionally (while fps is the same), especially when something new happens. I've tried almost everything and nothing helped but I have a lead. CPU-Z shows...

it wasn't the drive. Physically disconnected it and tried on a fresh Samsung EVO Plus 2tb NVME and it's the same

It may be called "Core Performance Boost" actually Yeah, changing the power plan to "High Performance" is mostly a myth and even if it does help a tiny bit, it's only a crutch Your freeze spikes happen mostly when something new loads/renders/happens for the first time, right? (like someone...

Turbo Core dynamically adjusts the clock speed of the AMD CPU (similar to Intel's Turbo Boost) . Your CPU's base clock should be 3.6MHz but Turbo Core can pump it up to 4.4MHz when extra performance is required. Very simply put - dynamic overclocking. By reseating I mean physically remove and...

I highly doubt that, since even the most undemanding of games get the micro stutters from time to time. But thank you for the suggestion, I'll check again anyway

Yeah, I suspect that the SSD might be the issue, since the stutters usually happen when something new is loaded in a game, CrystalMark says it's fine but perhaps there is a deeper problem with it

I played Baldur's Gate 3 (a demanding and CPU-intensive game) a lot a month ago and that's when I noticed all my games started stuttering occasionally. I had low fps but the computer itself wasn't lagging or anything out of the ordinary. Tried playing without multitasking, same story Tried...

I've tried these things so far: Reinstalling GPU drivers with AMD Cleanup utility, then with Display Driver Uninstaller (safe mode and all) Installing older GPU drivers Turning Windows Game Mode on/off Cleaning PC with compressed air Reseating GPU Reseating RAM Reinstalling Windows, clean from...

Hello everyone, this is my first forum post. My PC is 4 years old and had been working perfectly until about a month ago. All games I play started micro stuttering occasionally, especially when something new happens. Meanwhile my average fps seem to be the same as they've always been. That's the...
