Hi - I just bought a new set up - 3900X, ROG Strix X570-F, 2080 Super. Trident-Z 16 G, WD Blue 1T NVME, MX500 1 T SSD, Kraken X63, 850W PSU into a Panasonix TH 55FX800z 4K TV.
I was using the 2080 Super, RAM, NVME, and PSU in my last rig with no problems.
I noticed after exiting a game my context menus were a little slower, moving mouse over lots of folders was flickery - Just generally less responsive and games like AC Odyssey perform worse than the 7700k rig, with stutters.
I eventually narrowed it down to being caused by changing the refresh rate because if I change the refresh rate down to 50 in Nvidia CP and back to 60 it happens instantly until I restart.
It also may be changing any of the screen settings resolution etc.
EDIT - Just confirmed it happens if I change the resolution even if I change it back which explains why it wrecks games 'cause I game at 1440p.
EDIT 2 - I Tried another GPU, 2060, no change and what is interesting is if I have the Windows magnifier running even if it's on zero magnification the problem goes away, but as soon as I close it it comes back, so I suppose it's a work around even if it's pretty stupid having to have that minimized constantly.
I've tried a fresh install, different versions of Windows 10, default bios, overclocked bios, stripping down Win 10 and disabling nearly everything in Win 10. I've tested to see if it happens on the 700k setup and it doesn't.
I think it's a big issue because it seems to happen when my games go into full screen and the settings change and it ruins my games.
I'm on windows 10 2004 but I've tried other versions back to 1809.
I've tried Nvidia drivers back to 442.59 up to the latest DCH and WHQL.
I have no startups or anything running in the background and wifi disabled.
I know this is hard to diagnose but I usually Google "Problem" "Tom's Hardware" "Solved" to fix things so I'm really hoping some of you guys might have some ideas as to what's causing this.
Cheers.
