Question Same old micro stutters with Ryzen 9800X3D ?

[xZGxFire]

Well after trying multiple things from what I saw online and nothing worked I gave up so here I am. Trying to fix micro stutters.

Context: Brand new pc build, less than 3 weeks old.

Parts
Mobo: Asus X870E Crosshair Hero
CPU: Ryzen 9800X3D
GPU: RTX 3080
RAM: 6400Mhz GDDR5 32GB x 2 (currently used at 6000 mhz)
2TB M.2 gen 5 SSD in slot m2_1 (OS)
2TB M.2 gen 4 SSD in slot m2_4 (iirc, slot that doesnt reduce lanes)

I did have OCs in place.

List of things I have done

• Gamebar off/on
• Game Optimizer or whatever is called on/off
• I used MSI AB and I disabled all monitoring
• Riva Tuner not installed
• Put game in high priority
• Updated chipset drivers
• Checked that the 3dv services was on
• Nvida overlay is off
• Windows 11 is 23h2 not the 24h2
• Tried bios on default settings
• C-State Enabled and also tried disabled
• SMT tried auto and disabeld
• Ended all background tasks of apps that may have been conflicting (includes RGB software)
• I can game at 6400 mhz and at 6200 with my ram but currently using 6000 to see if it would help with the stutters
• Power Plan things as well
• Updated BIOS to latest non beta version
• Vsync off in game but on outside game (Nvida control panel)
• Tried a park cores app and that is 100% placebo or at least it didn't work for me.

Only 2 games that I have been playing
80% Escape From Tarkov which I haven't experienced any stuttering maybe because I dont run it at 300 fps.

20% Rainbow Six Siege, here I notice the stutters heavily. These stutters occur every 10-13 secs sometimes its a 0.5 secs stutter and others its like low low 1% fps dips.

Last thing I would need to do is clean OS install, but like only 3 weeks in and I have to do this?


Edit: The selected answer drastically improve my stuttering, will keep testing ram settings.

To be clear, this new hardware configuration was used with a previous Windows installation. Is that correct?

When you updated the AMD chipset drivers, did you get them directly from AMD?

Does the stuttering improve with all OC settings removed and the CPU. GPU, and memory at default settings?

This build was done with new Windows installation.

For amd chipset, I tried the latest one directly from AMD and also tried the latest one from Asus page.

I tried the manual ram settings as suggested and turned off some settings and I saw a drastic improvement.

Upon further googling, R6 game got worse in the past 5 months apparently. Maybe it only got visible to me upon running on more frames.

But to directly answer your question, with current OC settings and manual ram config, it now runs better.
