Random 1 second micro stutter every minute

[Confer]

While i'm playing "Rocket League" I get a random 1 second stutter every minute or so and it really throws me off especially at a high level I play at. I get max fps 250 and every time it happens it drops to 247 only by 3 and Its like its skipping a frame. If i cap it it still drops no matter where I cap it at. Vsync isn't an option because of the input lag.

The weirdest thing is when I mess with some settings then my computer runs fine rarely stuttering. Then the next day its back to stuttering like normal. Whats the problem here I don't understand.

$50 Paypal to the person that helps 100% serious this has been happening for to long. Please help.


Things I've tried. (Definitely will miss some i have tried so many things)

Reinstalling Windows 10

Reinstalling my drivers

High performance on power options

Set it so my hard drive doesnt stop spinning

Windows 10 Optimization Videos {This helped the most but sill happens}

Tried another 60hz monitor

Lower settings still happens

Bios up to date

Playing without internet and sound

Ryzen 1600
GTX 1060
8 GB 2133
AB350M-HDV
1TB 7200
500W EVGA

Yea I moved my operating system over to a ssd and I noticed a 30 frame increase in fps, faster boot times, and NO MORE STUTTERING

Honestly could be because you are running a AMD processor but a NVIDIA GPU, usually those should work together like intel and nvidia and AMD with their processor and GPUs.

Smells like a load of dung.
1) SSDs do NOT affect gaming performance AT ALL. It affects LOAD TIMES.
2) There's no such thing as AMD/NVIDIA incompatibility.

OP, is your GTX 1060 a 3GB model? And please reinstall Windows; Windows 10 Optimization doesn't do you much good when you already have a problem.

Yeah it is a 3Gb but it uses under 1 GB for Rocket league and I have reinstalled like 5 times. The windows optimization videos did help with the massive drops now I just get small drops

there is no need to offer cash to any one

if we can fix your problem we do so because we want to help others

if you wish to put 50 dollars to a good cause should some one sort your problem

i humbly suggest donating it to the fund for the member of toms hardware who lost his life in the barcelona terrorist attack

I will donate it to any where I just want this fixed

not familiar with rocket league

is it the only game with a problem?

after midnight here--but will certainly check this thread tomorrow to see if you got sorted

or if not will see if theres any thing i can think of that will help

I don't play any other games so I wouldn't know but I don't have any problems in windows or watching videos no crashing or blue screens.

Have you changed the buffer? In nvidia control panel, under Manage 3D settings, turn off triple buffering, and set the Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames to 1

They are both default i didn't touch those I have Pre rendered frames to 1 and Power to Prefer maximum performance everything else default.

How's your ping, OP?

How's your ping, OP?

My ping is 20 or 40 depending on server but i tried without internet and it still happens

The problem is 100% something with page file when I have it enabled i stutter every few seconds, when I have it off it rarely happens but still happens. Even when it's disabled it still shows its using page file in the task manager. I only use 34% of my RAM i don't understand. Is there anything else I can do?

 

[SoggyTissue]

didnt try the readyboost then? it will take 2-3 game loads to start working effectively.

 

[mcnumpty23]

you have a ssd and a hard drive?

which is windows installed on?

and which is the page file on?

I have windows and the game on the ssd and i have page file disabled i tried to put it only on the hdd, and then only on the ssd the only thing that makes it somewhat playable is disabling page file

Now that I have a SSD it doesn't let me do it because I can't enable Superfetch

 

[Karadjgne]

You really don't want to use superfetch or prefetcher with an SSD, the constant read/writes lower lifespans to a pretty good degree.

Plus, SSDs don't need the caching, all the info is right there, in front, waiting, not stuck out, fragmented, on several spinning disks.

Yeah but you need it enabled to try Readyboost because I wanted to give it a second try because the problem seems to be related with RAM or Pagefile.

 

[SoggyTissue]

superfetching and prefetcher are pagefile related, if you move your page file off your ssd the amount of writes to it will be considerably less. windows will know the info is on pagefile, wont read ssd. prefetcher needs to write info to pagefile .. no problem its not on ssd.

same kinda reason people rarely use defragmenters on ssds and should!...
i always suggest you should use a program like perfect disk, as you can move your 'write only once' files to sections of your ssd that have been written to multiple times, greatly extending life. cause windows and ssd management dont do tihs. all the people with windows taking up 40GB of space in 'read sectors' (where those files are never modified, only read) are shooting themselves in the foot with write cycles (as you may be concerned with drive life span).

well windows doesnt like readyboost with ssd because it knows ssd is faster, but readyboost is using your usb channel for info and doesnt clog your ssd pipe (and is much faster than having pagefile on hdd). you would need to mount the sd card/usb thumb stick.

For better ssd lifespan, always move pagefile off the ssd to either a second hdd or a sd/usb thumb. always use a smart defrag program that can move files from 'rarely written' sectors to 'written a lot' sectors (write sector cycling) because windows and ssd internal managers dont do this.

eg... ssd has 50GB free space .... that space is written to, recycled using the sector preserve algorithm, but youre still writing to only that particular 50GB of your ssd. what benifit would you see when you could use a defragment program to move your written once files to your heavily written area, freeing up 40GB of 'fresh meat' to use. end of case. though i do admit that this information is somewhat old news (10 or so years), i havent really come across any news of windows or internal management doing this recently - anyone care to correct me please? so that i can be well informed.

 

[okcnaline]

Don't bother with SSDs, prefetch, superfetch, etc. That's not the problem at all. Again, SSDs affect load times, not performance.

OP, try to update Windows. There are instances where a bad Windows build causes stuttering. Also, what NVIDIA driver update are you on?

 

[mcnumpty23]

dont know if you already tried this or not--if not try this

in game options

controls

clear voice chat key binding

@SoggyTissue.
https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/210492-extremetech-explains-how-do-ssds-work

The sector thing you mention isn't quite right, but close. Basically data is rotated around the ssd to eliminate just what you describe, one of the reasons why you must leave at a certain percentage of the drive open, not just for windows use with superfetch or prefetcher, but so data can be moved by block.
Don't use Defrag on an SSD, ever. It messes with Trim and Garbage rotations, and causes unnecessary erases, which considering erases use higher voltage than reads or writes, actually lowers available lifespan of every cell touched.

But yes, with older and smaller drives, it's a good idea to move pagefile to hdd if possible, and totally erase such things as hibernation, which needs a procedure to kill Hyberfil.sys.

The problem is almost completely gone the things that helped the most is removing page file, and using driver 375.70. The newest drivers make the problem worse and leaving the pre rendered frames to default instead of 1 seem to help a lot but adds tiny input lag which is fine. Thanks for your help even though its not completely gone its 95% gone so its nothing to worry about anymore.
