Question RX 6800 causing stuttering when typing text (Low 2D/IDLE Clocks?)

Hello,
I made topic that has same title as this before, but now i know exactly what is the problem about.

When i am typing text in some web applications, i feel slight stuttering
When i am starting to type text, stutter is almost not visible, few seconds into typing and it's starting to get worse.
I feel like this stutter is almost on every website, where you have input for text.

I cannot record it - you will not see it, you just feel it when typing and looking at screen.
There is slight delay, that you not exactly see, but feel, it's getting me out of flow.

What does help? Grabbing the browser window and waving it around for a while, then i can type smoothly for next few seconds.

I am 99% sure that it is a GPU issue.
Why do i suspect GPU? Clocks are insaleny low and they are jumping at around 0-200Mhz for graphics clock and same for memory clock.
Turning off ULPS
caused only to get some higher memory clock - God only know why it is boosting and when (sometimes its boosting to for ex. 1900 on desktop tasks - i see that when this value is higher for a while, stuttering dissapears)

There are no problems in gaming - everything is smooth, i don't feel also any input lag.
There are no problems with anything else - i just feel that GPU is going lazy, when nothing is going on the screen besides typing text, i feel like clocks are too low for that.

Is there any way to get off these nasty power saving features?
I remember on nvidia cards you can just set max performance and the clock is on maximum.

I spent too much money on my PC to use only half of it and look for some stupid few dollars savings on energy.

Please, help me, this is driving me crazy, i really spent almost 1500$ for a new PC and this problem still occurs.

All drivers are up to date - chipset, LAN, Audio, GPU.

What i did?
- Bought a new PC (this is not a joke)
- DIsabled ULPS (it is a little bit better as i said)
- Checked with different USB ports
- Tried Adrenaline PRO drivers
- Tried different browsers
- Tried disabling hardware acceleration in browsers
- Tried different monitor cables
- Tried different monitors
- Tried turning off all monitors except for one
- Checked with different keyboard
- Checked with latencymon - no CPU latency, max latency is 120us after 1 hour of running
- Checked temperatures - everything is okay
- There is no CPU overclocking
- Tried stock GPU settings in adrenaline and overcloked
- Disabled and Enabled EXPO
- Tried different timing modes for ram (Default, Competitive, Aggressive)
- Disabled/Enabled SMT
- Tried changing keyboard pooling rate to 1000Mhz
- Tried Windows 10 Home
- Tried to use Linux (Debian and Ubuntu)
- Tried different computer (my old computer)
- Tried different PSU
- Updated BIOS from 2.02 to 2.10 (latest no beta)

My specs:
MOBO: ASRock B650 PRO RS
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5 32GB 6000MHz CL30
GPU: XFX RX 6800 16GB
SSD: Lexar NM790 1TB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
PSU: Be Quiet! System Power 10 650W
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Hello.
Since you are not the 1st person that encounter this problems, i would simply suggest to take it slowly :
- Check if your mobo BIOS have AGESA (AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture)
- try to disable iGFX (those 2 cores that you have in CPU)
 
Yes, my mobo Has AGESA - i have AMD cpu, i have disabled igpu.

Someone on different forum told me to check if the problem persists if i activate screen recording - i feel like it helps, what could i do?

Unfortunately there is not a standard recipe for all problems.
In this case i read a lot about this CPU + GPU.
You are not alone if you want to hear that.
But i doubt that you will be happy that you are not alone.
I think there is something wrong in the CPU drivers that conflicts with GPU drivers.
