I built a new system a few weeks ago with the following components:
I thought it was the GPU, as I was getting nasty frame drops and stuttering before. So I sent it into Gigabyte for repair. The only note I got from their online portal was 'Component bad, repair completed.' Reinstalled the card today and the stuttering and frame drops seem to be gone, but the issue with textures remains. My old rig with an RTX 2080 never had this issue. Granted I was also not getting 60FPS.
I get a solid 60FPS most of the time with some dips here and there, but no major stuttering or frame drops anymore.
I ran memtest and passed everything. I am using the AI overclocking feature on the MOBO, but turning this off does not change anything. XMP is on so I'm making full use of my RAM. System agent voltage set to 1.25V and DRAM VDD and VDDQ set at 1.325.
I noticed the my nVME SSD doesn't show as present in the BIOS, but I've got Windows 11 and my games on it.
Running Nvidia overlay during game play shows no spikes in temps.
I ran furmark and prime95 with no issues, though running IntelBurnTest crashes the system.
Can anyone help me narrow down what the issue could possibly be? All drivers are up-to-date, and I could order a new motherboard, and RAM from amazon for testing and return them if I don't need them.
Edit: while my 3070 was being repaired I popped in my old 2080 and was getting similar behaviour with of course lower FPS.
