Question random stutter 6800xt

[PauloSilva93]

Hi, i have an annoying issue with my rig, essentially every game i play runs silky smooth but every once in a while a "cyclical" stutter happens and breaks the immersion completely, and to this day i haven't fixed it yet.

Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX AM4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core
GPU: XFX Speedster MERC 319 CORE Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 A-RGB 68.9 CFM
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16
Storage: KIOXIA EXCERIA G2 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVMe SSD
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P500A D-RGB ATX Mid Tower
PSU: Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX
Monitor: LG 27GN800-B 27.0" 2560 x 1440 144 Hz
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit OEM - DVD


Things to note:

1. i am using an older gpu driver( but i don't think thats an issue since it has happened with all drivers, and i don't play recent games;
2. nothing is overclocked, except for the ram which is in xmp mode:
3. i use msi afterburner, but much prefer capframex now, so i use them simultaneously. Don´t know if there might be a software conflict;
4. i used blurbustersguide for capping my framerates (with riva tuner) and get a flat frametime line for the most part, except when the stutters occur;
5. freesync is on as is smart access memory;

What i want :

a basic "how to" or step by step on how to single out, pinpoint the root of these stutters, if you would be so kind😊

anyway i hope i was efficient with my words and hopefully i can get rid of this once and for all.
if you need more information please tell me.

thank you!!

hi its me again xD

i am still at the part of clearing cmos, but to that do i need to remove the gpu? if so, how would i do it?
p.s: also today as i booted the pc for the first time an msi prompt poped up, wanting to install utilities and drivers. thats wierd, so i skipped it

Yes, you may have to remove the GPU, as sometimes the placement to the battery (for CMOS clear) is to o close.

You take the GFPU out, by first taking out the screws holding the GPU in place on the IO part.. Then you release a clip to the rear of the GPU. It's almost underneath it. When you push this clip left or right it should release the GPU, and you gently pull it out. Be careful. Make sure to ground yourself by touching something metal.
