Question Saved up for dream setup, nothing but disappointment. Poor 0.1% lows and games don't feel smooth on brand new PC. Losing my mind.

Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC Edition 16GB GDDR7
Ryzen 9800X3D
G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
ASUS TUF GAMING X870
NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB
Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 901
Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
Corsair RM1000x

running 3440x1440 Gigabyte OLED UW, g sync on / 175hz

Basically saved for 2 years to buy my dream setup and it's been a nightmare. Tried all the usual fixed just throwing this out for a hail marry idk what to do. Games run at 175fps/hz but they feel more like 50-60fps which is what my 0.1% are reporting. It's especially bad when moving the mouse around quickly in FPS games. Camera movement and rotation feels jerky and not fluid. Most games the avg fps doesn't fluctuate at all but still doesn't feel smooth like it should. Polling rate is 1000, refresh rate VRR/gsync ect all setup and working properly. C States are enabled expo is on ect. Latest Bios and chipset ect. Temps and everything is great. Tried different mouse and pads, new Display cables, looking for any suggestions I'm desperate. I don't use Afterburner. It's not the monitor because my old PC feels great on it.

Where did you buy the setup - source?

Start with Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to learn more about your system's performance.

Use all three tools but only one tool at a time.

Do not jump to any immediate conclusions. Make notes, capture and print screenshots, observe.

Hopefully the problem is just some old driver, a misconfiguration, maybe some installed "crapware".

Key is to figure out what your system is doing (or trying to do) when performance lags.

Doing so takes time and effort. Be methodical and observant.

Post what you find - details matter.

Would be worth checking the system using LatencyMon to see what pops up when gaming.

Another thing to do would be disable G-Sync just to see if there's any change.

How did you monitor 0.1% ??
Afterburner can show a frametime graph and that would be helpful, it would only feel like 50-60 due to 0.1% if 0.1% where the average, like you had one of them every other frame.

This sounds more like a sync issue.
Or the automatic EXPO isn't applying good settings, the 9800x3d is officially only supporting ram up to 5600.

Try some of these "fixes".

Doing a clean boot will help determine if there is an offending software service/process running. What this does is disable all non-essential services. Once booting after applying the clean boot, only open the game that is having the issues. If you are still having the same stutter problem, then you can know that the software you have running is not the source of the issue. If the stutter issue disappears then you have confirmed there is some process causing the stutter and its just a matter of determining what it is. You can do this by performing a partial clean boot and selecting from the list of processes which ones you think are causing the issue. Following that and further testing you can conclusively determine by a process of elimination, the offending service or process.

If you still have the same issue I would now second the suggestion to install Latencymon and have it run in the background for a while (10 minutes or so) after a clean boot. Takes a screen shot of the program and post back here with imgur. If there is no high latency warning for running the computer idle for 10 minutes after clean boot, open the offending game and play for 10+ minutes and take another screenshot of the Latencymon program and post on imgur with the other screen shot. Post the imgur link with the relevant results back here.

After these steps we can continue diagnosing.

Make sure your motherboard BIOS is fully updated. Same for AMD chipset drivers (get directly from AMD) and video drivers (directly from Nvidia).

Also, are you using a wired or wireless network connection? Are those drivers fully up to date?

What, if anything, are you overclocking (CPU, GPU, memory)? How is performance at default stock speeds (if OCing)?

Are you using any network optimizer apps?
