Major RX580 Suttering

[schaperb9]

So I have posted with this problem a couple of times and still haven't figured out my issue. I did a fresh build back in November (my first build btw) and am having terrible stuttering. When I use msi afterburner to benchmark my framerates I am getting in the teens for 0.1% lows and 20s or 30s for 1% lows. It doesn't matter what game, resolution, or settings, it always stutters terribly. I even have tried all low settings and 480p and still the issue. My build is as follows: 2600x, 970 Evo, evga 650 gold PSU, trident z rgb 3200 cl16 memory, sapphire rx580, meshify c, gigabyte b450 Aorus pro wifi. Anyone have any insight into what could be the problem? Maybe some tests to run to help me identify the issue? I have already done everything I can with drivers, used ddu twice to do a clean install. I had high hopes for this set up and I hope this isn't just the performance of the rx580, because if so I am very disappointed.

What monitor do you have?

Was just helping someone with this other day. Turned out they had issues on Shadow of the Tomb Raider. They were running 1080p 60hz. If that is the case, maybe look into a faster monitor, or try to turn on AMD Enhanced Sync and see if that helps out.

fps doesn’t reflects stuttering. In msi AB turn on frame time graph. If the graph is flat, then your experience should be smooth. If that graph goes up and down everywhere, then you can see if there is any pattern It.

I have an Asus vg245h monitor (24" 1080p 75hz). Just checked the frame time graph and it doesn't look too flat to me nor does there appear to be a pattern outside the spikes matching up with my hitching.

What settings are you running? Maybe try turning some settings back to high instead of ultra and see if that helps.

 

[schaperb9]

As I said in the first post, this occurs regardless of what game, settings, or resolution. I could be playing at low and 480p and have the same result.

That frame time graph looked aweful. Definitely stutter, is your pc on performance mode? Also how is your cpu temperature? And does your core frequency change at all during a gaming session.

have you tried to reinstall windows? sounds like some sort of software conflict or an incorrect setting. if that doesn't work then you know its probably a hardware issue. when you built the PC was a fresh win10 install ever performed?

 

[schaperb9]

My CPU and GPU temps are both really good, 48°-52° in game for both. I'll watch my core freq next time I game, don't have an answer for that one yet, although I do know that my GPU stays pinned at 1411mhz (my cards Max boost freq) during the entire gaming session. And yes the build was 100% new with a clean install of windows. Also, yes PC is in performance mode.

Im becoming more and more convinced rx580s are just not as good as I had thought/hoped. Watched a YouTube video earlier where they showed fps, 0.1% an 1% lows, frame time, the whole nine yards and their results weren't all that dissimilar to mine. Either there are a lot of faulty rx580s out there, or they just aren't well performing cards. I hope I'm wrong though.

A working RX580 (8gb) will perform very well at 1080p, you are either having a software or a hardware problem.

 

[ohiou_grad_2006]

Agreed. I had the RX 480 a while back, cashed it in during the mining craze. Basically almost the same exact card as the RX 580 just a little lower clocks. But the 480 I do remember having to set a fan curve on, but it always seemed to perform well.

honestly, reinstall windows and see if the problem still happens.. if it does then you might have a bad card and would have to RMA it.. you should be getting great performance and fps on 1080p

 

[schaperb9]

One clean install of windows later and I'm having the same issues... I even went so far as to only download drivers and 1 game so I could make sure nothing else I had downloaded on my system was the problem... Time to RMA? Anything else I could try?
