Question Bad stuttering in every game, could Ryzen be the issue ?

[gammatsunami]

I have a high end pc, and in every single game I get bad stuttering.
I was getting it on my rtx 3090 and went to a 6900xt, still got it.
Got a new PSU ( Super Flower Leadex Platinum SE 1000W )
Upgraded my ryzen 5 3600 to a ryzen 9 5900x. Upgraded to a x570 taichi, 32gb of ram, a 2tb 980 pro, still happens. The only thing that has been constant throughout these upgrades is ryzen.
Do you think this could possibly be a ryzen issue? I am now wondering if I should go to intel and see if that fixes it, but I wanted opinions before I went through that nightmare.
Its the only thing I can think of at this point, it was happening on my old ryzen 5 3600 machine, everything on my current pc is new and its still happening. This didnt happen when I had a 2500k

I have watched temps in HWmonitor, theyre all fine. Ive set all cores to 3.6ghz on my cpu so theyre not all jumping around. Different ram. Putting settings on lowest they can go.

Is there a software that could turn off absolutely all processes and everything running except the game to make sure it's not a software issue? I'm running out of things to think of

 

[gammatsunami]

Yeah I plugged it directly into the psu. Could it maybe be the ram? I really have no idea what to test now

Test the RAM with memtest if you want to.

 

[gammatsunami]

Can you think of anything else? I cant. I am at a complete loss.
Not my cables, monitor, peripherals, temps. The only reason I think CPU is because this is a complete new build compared to my old one which was doing it except RAM and Ryzen

If it were cables or my monitor it wouldnt show up in recordings would it?

Did you check to make sure that there wasnt a spare motherboard standoff screw when you did the build? That could be causing a short on the motherboard. Since you used the same RAM as the last system it would be a good idea to test it.

Ill have a look, I imagine thatll take quite a while to check thanks

edit; something interesting of note. Its constant in cold war. If I turn off 4k textures it stops doing it, like its completely smooth as butter

That makes me suspect the vram overheating like I originally thought. Download HWinfo to get more temperature data from the GPU. It will probably even show the vRAM temp.

I dont know what I am looking at here, does anything look suspicious?
It was doing it while I ran this, I put 4k textures on

Just what has been shown before. So the VRAM temps hit 70c max, thats normal. The 93c hotspot seems like a lot. I do not know what is normal for this card. @Eximo do you know?

Try setting GPU power to 60 % and test.

How do you do that sorry?

Wait, did you ever reinstall drivers with DDU like I posted before?

 

[gammatsunami]

Yeah, and a fresh install of windows.

So in afterburner do I set 40% less of its core clock?

There should be a power limit slider, set that to 60% /100

Thats what I thought, maybe I have an old afterburner. Mine only lets me go up or down 10% max

I made it check for update, says im on latest one

Check the settings for anything obvious. It may just be the architecture of the card itself. Test at -10% if you cannot get it lower through settings options.

 

[gammatsunami]

Thanks for your help I'll just give up. I can't think of anything else. I might sell it and buy a new pc.

Turning off all services rules out all software doesnt it?
Other than peripherals, monitor, and software it must be something hardware, but it was doing it on my old build too. This build is entirely new except the RAM, its ryzen.

I did some research. It couldnt be that my house is giving my pc dirty power surely?

I was referring to the MSI afterburner settings to unlock the power limiter slider.

I took the power down as much as I could 10% and it still happens.
Even if I go to the lowest settings and cap it to 60hz not 120 it still happens, so I guess I just gotta deal with it.

Are you one the latest BIOS update for your motherboard? Are your AMD chipset drivers up to date?

 

[gammatsunami]

Yes to both of those

I have tried another monitor, and taking all peripherals out and just used an xbox controller and same

Okay, lets DL latency mon and see what it has to say about the stuttering. Run this application in the background as play games. It will show what if anything is causing high latency spikes. The program is pretty self explanatory and obvious how to read what is causing a stutter. Post back a picture of the application after running alongside a game.

Wasnt sure which page you wanted a pic of. Anything stand out? That was a full match with it happening constantly
Do those hardfaults mean I should add more RAM ? I looked up the pagefaults on google. It said it was due to the pagefile size. I increased it from auto to 46gb ( google said to make it 1.5x your physical ram size )
