Question CS2 microstutters

[jasehuan]

Hi all,

Recently built a new PC consisting of:

CPU: AMD 7800x3d
GPU: MSI RTX 4080 Super Gaming X Slim
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR5 6000MHz
MOBO: MSI B650 Tomahawk WIFI
SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD
PSU: Corsair RM1000x 2021 1000W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular
Cooler: Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT
Monitor: BenQ Zowie XL2546K 240hz
Windows 11
All drivers for ALL components are up to date from their respective manufacturers website.

I've been experiencing micro stutters in CS2. Noticeably stuttering /freezing when slowly turning corners all the way to doing quick 180 degree turns. When stuttering, visually it looks like im running on lesser monitor hertz or some sort of tearing. When it's not stuttering - the game is smooth like butter and moving around, turning corners is clean and crisp as I expect. Just the times of stutter makes obviously hard to play, but visually different.
I get somewhere between 400-700fps depending on the area of the map I'm on, but fps stays stable during these stutters. The only thing i notice is frame times going from 3ms to around 20ms or so during the stutter.

I've spent about 3 days putting a lot of energy in to research for all possible causes, and tried many remedies that i thought could help.
I'm currently on XMP profile 1 which utilises 6000mhz cap of my RAM, and enabled CPU Boost in Game settings of my BIOS.
I've done clean installs of my GPU driver. Optimized the settings in Nvidia Control Panel.
Played around with windows 11's Game mode and HAGs.
Enabled REBAR/Disabled REBAR
Disabled SMT/Enabled SMT
Tried undervolting my CPU
Tried overclocking my GPU.
Tried deleting Shader cache files.

I've pretty much tried everything I could find on google to try and fix this.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Stuttering is the temporary lack of a critical resource.
In this case, likely your CPU.
The X3D processors have a huge buffer and are optimized for a single processing thread.
That is exactly what games need.

My theory, here, is that you have some other app that is competing for the cpu resource.

Discord, for example.
Perhaps the gpu driver checking for updates.
Perhaps email doing a send/receive

You get the idea.

I have exactly the same problem as you described on my new rig 13600k + 4060 with high fps… have you fixed it?
