Installed New GPU, games begin stuttering?

[Sean P]

After installing a 1050ti 4gb from a radeon 6870, I used DDU to get rid of all the old drivers, and started fresh. I got a bunch of games during the steam sale, and began playing the games I hadn't since my old graphics card broke. I cranked everything on high, and did some optimizing. Now all my games run at high to ultra settings, at native resolution (1440x900, I know) with good frame rates, well above my 75Hz refresh rate. But, most all my games (except tomb raider) experience moderate to rapidly occuring stuttering. CS:GO stutters frequently, and also crashes. This is the one that I'm most concerned with, because that sort of behavior cannot go with that competitive of a game. Another thing with CS:GO is the fact that my 6870 ran it at a faster frame rate than my 1050ti.... Anyways, here is the Event Viewer information about my CS:GO when it crashes (I can't get any information about the other games stuttering, they just do and pop out no error that I know of)

SPECS:
Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258 @4.0Ghz @1.2 Volts//Stock cooler
Gigabyte H81M-H
8GB ddr3-1600, dual channel, 4x2
MSI GTX 1050ti 4gb
Sandisk SSD Plus 120gb(CS:GO installed on it)
Western Digital 500gb 2.5" 5400RPM laptop drive (other stuttering games installed on)
Western Digital scorpio blue 320gb 5400rpm laptop drive
EVGA 400w PSU

Folks, anything helps. I'll test my overclock once again but I'm almost positive it is stable. Temps don't look too bad either. Thanks in advance!

If this is in fact CS:GO only it might better to post it in a CS:GO related communty, in either Steam or Reddit. They'll probably know what you have to do to solve it.

no but I think it's hardware related, seeing as though on my 6870 everything was fine.

Hi

You can try hard limiting your FPS to 59. Do not hit 60 or above, many games have various issues which cause lag and stutter when running above 60 FPS. Do this either via game options, respective applicable ini files, or GPU options in your driver suite. But if you use the GPU option then it will be global if you don't make and use a game profile, and sometimes game profiles have issues of their own.

Try running it at 60 instead of 75. Possibly go with some more common resolution, go either higher or lower. At this rez this may be part of the issue.

You changed GPUs and used DDU. If you are on windows 10 thats bad, real bad because DDU is somewhat outdated and does not properly keep up with latest Windows builds released by Microsoft. It ends up removing stuff it shouldn't have. Some people have had to reformat and re-install windows after DDU. If you are on Windows 7, then I don't know.

In the future, follow the clean uninstal instructions from your cards manufacturer and get the AMD clean uninstall utility from AMD to remove your 6870 drivers. Use CCleaner in between for anythign leftover and registry, and you'll be golden. No need for DDU.

I figured that it might have been outdated seeing as though the latest version of DDU was from mid 2013, do you think it'd be worth it to reinstlal windows?
But then again, on my old graphics card games were still running at this resolution at 100+fps, fine, on the same OS I'm on now.

For me it wasnt a question of it being worth it, the problems DDU caused on my system were much more severe and it was such a PITA to fix everything and so many hours of researching stuff that it was easier for me to just back up some stuff, reformat, reinstall windows clean. Takes me about 25 minutes flat on my rig, yours may vary + if you have a lot of stuff you dont want to re-install other then Windows, then you may make other choices.

As for the FPS, resolution etc. I understand things worked before, but you switched cards, brands, propriatery tech, etc. so you can expect things to be different.

Ask yourself if running things at lower FPS (60) vs 100ish, but at higher res, but more standard one, really makes that much visual and practical difference.

Last but not least, there have been many reports of games stutter and FPS drops on the Nvidia forums, so you may be borked no matter what you do until Nvidia updates their drivers and optimizes your specific GPU for the specific game(s) you are playing. These are known and documented issues, and you should check there for some specific solutions as well as the specific game(s).

I think I found a reason why - my 6870 was bottlenecking my g3258, and now my g3258 is bottlnecking my 1050ti. Now my processor can work as hard as it can, and I'm bumping into thermal issues. Max temp is 72, I'm at 78. oops.
