I have made numerous thread on the issue of stuttering and i'm frankly about to throw in the towel and stop Pc gaming altogether.

I stutter in SOME games, not all. Most notably PUBG and Fortnite, which stutter so much that it's unplayable. All of my hardware works fine and I've done an insane amount of troubleshooting,100+hours

While logging using MSI afterburner, it is clearly my frame time which goes wild and sometimes goes up to the thousands, constantly spiking.

This is the ridiculous list of things I have tried.

1. Checking temperatures and clocks of all of my hardware
2. Run stress tests and benchmarks (stuttering in Uni engine Valley and Heaven)
3. Installed games on an SSD
4. Reinstalled games multiple times on separate HDD
5. Ran Windows Ram check etc.
7. Flashed my motherboards BIOS to the latest version 9.
8. Tested separate PSU's (Evga 650w Gold g2 and also Evga bronze 550w)
9. Powershelled Xbox app from PC
10. Installed 6 different Nvidia drivers, some old and new
11. Various windows creator update modifications. Disabled control flow guard for specific applications.
12..Installed old version of windows 1607
13.Played with page file and affinity option while game is running.
14.Fully Reinstalled windows and formatted SSD drive
15..Installed games on separate hard drives working separately and together (as in windows on one game son another platform such as steam)
16. Changed SATA cables.
17. Bought brand new MOBO and installed (H81 chipset)
18. Removed and reseated all hardware.
19. Bought 16gb of DDr3 RAM.
20. Installed chip set drivers


None of this works. The only thing that slightly helped, as in, bought my frametime spikes to a lower level, was disabling all of my Audio drivers in device manager?

The only two things left tor replace are my Gpu and my internet. My GPU shows no problems temperature wise, not does it throttle or do any such stuttering while stress testing.

Photonboy told me that frametime is not linked to internet, so I very much doubt it is that.

A complete mystery, I'm willing to pay someone at this point.

Help?

Specs;

i5-4590 3.3Ghz
Gtx 970 Strix
16gb DDR3 1600Mhz
120gb SSD
2tb HDD
Gigabyte H81 Dv2 (rev 1.0)
Evga Gold G2 650w

Well, I get a freeze/hitching when playing online games that are demanding such as BF1 and Rising Storm 2 Vietnam. I figure it's my powerline adapter or we need the new superhub. That or its bad VGA drivers.

In big single player i get the super rare hitch which is mostly because it is either saving or loading the next chunk of game world.

Thanks, but I tried that to no avail ;(

I have messed around with pagefile settings for ages too.

I moved to a new city recently and don't know anyone here. I can't afford a new Gpu to test unfortunately. I might see if threre are some empathetic PC shops around here that would let me test, but they will probably be wallet drainers ;/

I don't own a great deal of games, but not exclusively online and Rainbow Six siege works at a flawless 16.6ms when frame limited to 60fps, as I do with the former.

Currently downloading Mass effect 2 to see if the issue affects that. God knows who was downvoting you.

- First I went to the Nvidia control panel
- I clicked on the "Manage 3D settings"
- Then I clicked on the "Program Settings" tab
- I clicked the "Add" button next to the selection box and chose Fortnite
- Set "Threaded optimization" on
- Set "Triple buffering" on
- Set "Vertical sync" off
- I then went to the actual Fortnite settings and turned Vertical sync on
- Lastly I restarted my computer, and boom. Perfectly smooth game play.

Triple buffering with V-Sync off doesn't make sense to me. Also I don't want to play with V-sync unfortunately so this isn't going to work.

Thanks for trying to help anyway.

I don't know if you understood my first question and what kind of answer I wanted in return.

Out of all the games you play, for example PUBG & Fortnite (which require an interest connection), which of them are online multiplayer games?
So FYI player Vs player.

Could you please list the games you do and don't have this issue with.

Thanks.

Also could I ask a little more about the kind of stutter your having?

When the stutter occurs does your:
-Player character skip forward like it warped forward or missed a step?
-Screen & mouse freeze/lockup for a split second then unfreeze and carry on?

This is where it gets werid.

Pubg and Fortnite both stutter very badly. Rainbow Six does not.

I was convinced it was the internet so i purchased a quick wifi pass from someplace in my area and it is the same.

I download Mass effect 2 and thee is practically no stuttering, albeit a fe random stutter here and there, but that must be normal.

It is small hitching (your second option) not teleporting but rather just screen freezing, what you would expect from freamtime problems.

You have to have some sort of bloatware or application that is running in the background when you are playing. Have you noticed any software or events happen in task manager when you are playing games?

There isn't anything.

I have re-installed windows and kept only one game and drivers and it was the same.

Yeah, it's a mystery, honestly it has to be the GPU or Cpu at this stage.

Do you know of any stress tests that could give me some sort of insight apart from uniengine etc

I use a powerline adapter which uses your power cables in your wall to transfer computer data to and from the other powerline adapter downstairs that is plugged into the router. It's near as good as LAN but there can be interference if lots of things are going through your power lines or you just have bad quality ones.

I'm thinking of getting a dongle.

Its just it read like you were having the same issues as me so I thought I dot my side into the forum post.
