Question I have terrible micro stutter/input lag without fps drops in Apex Legends like others

[Raikiri]

Pretty much the same problem with this thread but it was closed before I could get an answer. I would like to know how to fix or at least detect the problem which I have been struggling with over 2 years. Here is my comment:

Hey, I have pretty much the same problem thanks to you I changed tRC and it improved a lot. My pc is:

Asus X570 Croshair Hero Non-Wifi
Asus Strix OC 3090
Ryzen 5900x
32GB Trident z neo ram with 2 pairs of F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC
Corsair 4000x Case with H100x 240 cooler

I play Apex capped at 220 with 280hz monitor and it feels like 40 fps even tho it's pretty much locked at 220. It even gets worse over time when shooting and looting again the fps is at 220.

Have you find anything else to fix this problem? I'm certain audio is related to this problem because lowering it helps a little I think and it cuts off some sounds when other sounds are present.

I also had 5600x with Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite and some other ram and the problem was completely non-existent at first but would become even worse after a few matches.

I must add my dogshit MSI laptop that overheats all thetime with Intel processor played better than any of AMD trash.

Hey there,

Firstly, there's no need to use colourful language to describe the issue. Doesn't help anything.

What bios are you running on the mobo? You can check this with CPU-z and the mainboard tab.

Have you updated all system drivers, including chipset, lan , audio etc?

Try uninstalling the GPU driver with DDU, then doing a fresh install. See how that goes.

Are you overlocking the CPU/GPU? If so, run at stock and test again.

I should have mentioned that I reset drivers, reinstalled windows countless times but I thought 2 years would already imply that.

BIOS is 4702 the current one, the drivers are up to date as well but regardless of the driver version the problem was always there whether it starts out good goes sluggish or always sluggish.

I tried the stock settings but all core at 4.6 ghz and 1000 mhz+ on gpu memory yields the best results with marginal gains.

I'm pretty sure the problem is with ram, audio or windows settings.

You have 2 pairs of ram.
Remove 1 pair .
Make sure it is a matched pair from the same package.
Place one pair in slots 2 and 4 from the CPU.
Boot computer and enter bios.
Set XMP/DOCP to 3600 and save and exit.
Let it boot to windows.
Check memory speed with CPU Z. should show 1800 +/- a few mhz.
Try your games.

MIXING memory is a lottery gamble. It might work, might not.
When you reinsstalled windows was it a complete wipe of the drive with a fresh install from USB media or a windows reset which saves all of your user files?

Yeah that was the problem. Plus I changed Command Rate to 1T which helped even more.

How do you quantify this problem and would 3600hz cl14 kit smooth things more?

Also some ram kits listed on Asus site as cpu supports them but not the motherboard, would that make much difference and cause similar problems as long as it's a ryzen kit?

Why do you think, what I assume is the pump speed, is listed as chasis 6?

 

[Unolocogringo]

3600 cas 14 is slightly faster than the CAS 16 you have now.
Slightly by only in certain benchmarks or extended runtime programs.
For gaming 1-2 FPS difference.

That would most likely be pump speed but it is only running 1/2 that speed or 2100rpm.
Known software problem when running on a fan header instead of dedicated pump header.
