Question How to fix micro stuttering with my RTX 4060 ?

[darceyo]

Hi. I just built my new pc and when I've played few games, I have noticed that all of them have micro fps drops. I have 240hz monitor, and in the games I had about 220-240 fps, but sometimes it is just dropping like 1 frame out, and it is very noticeable, especially on the Afterburner graphs.

PC Specs:
MB: ASRock B760 Pro RS (latest BIOS v.11.01)
GPU: RTX 4060
CPU: I5-14500
RAM: 32GB Kingston Fury DDR5-5600 (4800)
SSD: Samsung 990 Evo 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4/5.0 x2
PSU: Seasonic B12-BC-650 650 W

Please, help me to solve it, I'm really disappointed at this moment. I've tried to re-install Nvidia driver, CPU graphics drivers, disabling V-sync, G-sync in all the games, changing XMP profiles in the BIOS, tried both DP and HDMI. Nothing! Nothing helped...

I don't really want to return my GPU, I just want to find the solution

this is pretty hard since youre pushing very high frames. I assume you're also sensitive to frame spikes. It's likely something couldn't keep up. e.g your cpu needed more data, which it had to get from RAM, which added some latency in generating the next frame.
If you can return hardware, try getting a 14600K and DDR5-6000 cl30 ram and see if the issue goes away., if not, return it.

Stuttering is caused by a temporary lack of a critical resource. Usually CPU.
On occasion, insufficient ram.

Check to see what other apps are running at the same time.
A higher priority app like performance monitors, driver utilities, motherboard utilities or even discord can interrupt the game processor.

CPU loaded for ~25% at max. Temperatures is about 45℃ (~25% usage) for CPU, and 70℃ (~100%) for GPU.
About 11/32gb RAM used.
Also, 4/8gb VRAM used in my current games.

All looks pretty good on these numbers and that's why it is very hard to find the root of that problem...

Do you think if I will limit the FPS to 240 or 120, it will affect the gameplay in the good way?

A i5-14500 has 20 processing threads.
If the master thread of a game is 100% busy, that could be your limiter and only represent a fraction of the total cpu utilization.

yes, limit fps to 120 and it's likely you will see the stutters go away
