ASUS Strix GTX 1080Ti OC - lag spikes/stuttering

[luckeR]

Hello guys,

This is my setup - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yqmf6X (nothing is OC'ed /only factory/ .. everything is on stock)

i7 8700k (no OC)
GTX 1080ti OC edition (factory OC only)
16gb (2x8gb) RAM DDR4 3200MHz
SSD + HDD

Userbenchmark OK - http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/7016923


Here is my problem: In almost every game I am having lag spikes/stuttering https://imgur.com/a/JrNll + https://imgur.com/a/PHnwX like this (Assassin's Creed: Origins - benchmark). Games where I can see the problem the most: Assassin's Creed: Origins, Battlefield 1, PUBG, Witcher 3 running in the city (there is a microstutter when you enter new area in the city). Sometimes it runs OK for few minutes. Sometimes it runs OK for 1 hour BUT it looks like when I let my PC running for like 6 hours (playing or idling - does not matter) stuttering problem is worse. But I experienced it right after cold boot too.

My overall performance is great. I checked 3D Mark/Cinebench 15/FPS in games regarding youtube videos with people with the similar setup.. everyhting is how it should be. EXCEPT the stutters :/ .

I noticed that sometimes it disappears when I alt-tab like during this test: https://imgur.com/a/bH4nV.


Superposition Benchmark + AC: Origins Benchmark = https://imgur.com/2rT0Pck (frametime) /// but another AC: Origin Benchmark right away was super smooth = https://imgur.com/EEopEh8 ... so I don't get it anymore.

Here are also some videos of the probem:

What I've already done:
- tried another mobo (Asus Maximus X hero
- another RAMs (also XMP on/off)
- win10 1607
- win10 latest build with only drivers + games (without sound drivers and onboard audio disabled, windows defender disabled, no antivirus programm)
- another i7 8700k
- gaming mods off in Windows
- hdtune, latency mon (0,3-0,4ms pointing on nvidia drivers during my tests, spikes to 0,7ms probably only when alt-tabbing)
- drivers are up to date, so the bios
- only SSD plugged in
- power management option set to performance (windows + nvidia)
- last 5 versions of nvidia drivers (including the latest one 390.77)
- temps are OK (https://imgur.com/a/WUGw1 - after 1 hour of BF 1)
- tried another non-Gsync 1080p 60hz monitor
- vsync off, gsync off/on, I've tried almost every possible setting in nvidia control panel

Looks like the problem is not there with iGPU - but it's so hard to test it with such a low fps. I have no opportunity to try the card in another pc or borrow another one.


So at this point.. I don't know what to do next to be honest.

For example I've noticed in Witcher 3 installed on SSD this kind of microstutters:
Everytime when I pass ''some line/script/new aera'' in the game or a moment before someone start talking. Everything looks great when I am not moving in the game.. when I start to move and cross ''the script line'' or enter the city etc.. lag occurs again. During the lag spike my gpu power% in MSI After Burner drops a bit down - https://imgur.com/EcvPenW.


But all of this does not happen all the time.. it seems so random.
Do you think that my GPU can be fault from the beginning? Should I RMA it? :/

Have similar problem, So i just tried Assassin's Creed Origins on my Kingpin GTX 1080 ti, Fps averaging at 85,so far so good, the i swap the card with the msi 1080ti lightning x and the fps drops to 45 average, both are OCed 2025clock and 5900memory... Any thoughts what could have caused that?
