    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    Update: Bought a new PC, kept the GPU; problem solved. Still don't know what the issue was. Apologies for not reporting back with footage of the issue, I ran out of patience trying to solve this. Thank you to everyone that tried to help, best wishes to you all! For anyone interested, the new...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    So, I removed the static OC and let it run off of the standard turbo profile, my score somehow got worse, lol. For some reason, it maxed out at 4.7GHz on all cores. I don't think that temperature was the limiter, as it maxed at 61 °C. Scores dropped to 540 single core and 5500 multicore...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    Yes, I can do this - It will be a few days before I'll have a chance to, though. Thank you again and to everyone else, that is taking the time to help!

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    Sorry for the delay, I have managed to get myself a sinus infection, so I've not done much of anything for a few days. Unfortunately nothing made a difference, I did everything you suggested. Thankyou for trying, it was worth a shot :)

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    I'm going to try this tomorrow and I'll report back once I'm done. There is a armoury crate option in bios, I have it disabled but I'm not certain if I had it disabled when I installed windows. Regardless, this time it will be disabled. Thankyou for taking the time to respond. Means a lot that...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    My 9900k got 565.2 single thread, and 5822.4 multi thread. It's locked to 4.8Ghz atm, I don't know how much that would impact the score though.

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    Ok, so.. an update: I get the stutters in games I didn't think were having them. Horizon Zero Dawn stutters under certain conditions - happened when I arrived at a new bonfire yesterday, as the notification appears on screen, also get a slight stutter with what I assume are area transitions...

    Sucks that it didn't fix your problem :/ I tried replacing my PSU with a different 850w PSU but, alas, same issue.

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    Hey, thanks for the tip, I tried this yesterday; unfortunately hasn't made any difference for me :/ I've noticed that XMP 2 seems to introduce more stutters than XMP 1.. I've tried 4 different sets of RAM now though and still have the same problem. I'm definitely experiencing abnormal frame...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    Hey! No, haven't fixed the issue. I'm fairly certain the issues I'm having are in some way related to asset loading. Not sure how to fix it :/ Good luck with the new CPU; hope it works for you, let me know if possible!

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    I'm testing with hyperthreading disabled today. I think I'm prone to seeing all stutter as part of the problem, trying to make the distinction between issue and expected behaviour is hard sometimes, particularly as -like you've said- I've spent a lot trying to fix this. Some of the stutter is...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    I've switched between the two operating systems whilst trying to resolve this - I'm on 11 at the moment but I'm probably going to go back to 10 whilst MS iron out some of the inconsistancies in the new OS (I really don't like the new right click desktop menu lol) I've tried lower overclocks...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    I have done this already, good shout though. Armoury crate was causing issues with some games - in particular WoW. System feels better without any of the Asus software, but stutters remain in most games I play. I've been swapping components around again recently, I get the same frame spikes...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    I'm still experiencing the issue, and it's really hard to pin down. At this point I've swapped out everything except the case. Bizarrely; games you would think would cause issues, like Cyberpunk, run fine for the most part - other games like Guild Wars 2 have regular hard stutters - it's not...

    Question Issue with stutters in games 9900k + 3080

    So, I thought the polite thing to do would be to provide an update. Sorry it's been a while. I've now tried 3 different GPU's, Ive tried a Noctua Dh15 cooler, I've tried a fourth set of RAM, a different monitor. I've also removed the NZXT 'Smart device' and the rgb strips it controlled. I've...
