Stuttering Across Most Modern Games

[Elijah White]

So, I've been having this issue across quite a lot of games. I have a pretty high-end system, but across a lot of my games, Battlefield 1, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Call of Duty Black Ops 3, and GTA V to name a few with BF2 being the worst of the bunch, there is stuttering.

I've tried doing a clean boot and running nothing but Steam/Origin and the game I want to play, it still stutters. I also have made sure my DPC Latency is within check (it is), and my temps are also well within acceptable levels (my CPU never goes about 65c, and my GPU runs in the low 80s, capping out at about 83). Is there anything else I can try to do to fix this?

Specs:
Titan Xp Star Wars Galactic Empire Collectors Edition @ Stock
i7 7700k @ 4.7 GHz, 1.205v
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM
Samsung 960 EVO 512GB NVMe M.2
Asus Maximus VI Code
16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB @ 3600 MHz
EVGA Supernova 1000 P2

I believe I had something similar and what helped, as crazy as it sounds, was to reseat the card. Maybe also try to turn off background processes. Good luck to you

One thing I would do is set up a custom fan curve for your GPU using MSI Afterburner or something similar. While 83 isn't dangerous high, you could be starting to thermal throttle which could cause some issues. Once you set up the fan curve, play your games and see if it helps.

I tried actually maxing out the fan speed and the temps were in the low to mid 70s and it didnt help.

Well dang....what resolution are you playing at? If you are at 4k, that could be a bit of a problem as the 1080ti and the Titan V are the only GPUs that are supposed to be able to go 4k 60hz with the pretty factor cranked up. If at 4k, try turning down the graphics.

This may sound odd but try bringing your CPU overclock back to stock, write down you current overclock config so you can revert if this isn't the issue. I know when I had my CPU overclocked quite a bit it stuttered on some games even though the voltage/temps were well within safe ranges and the FPS stayed at 60+ FPS (144 monitor).

I mean, the Titan Xp is more powerful than a 1080 Ti, so 4k shouldn't be an issue. But I'm playing @ 1440p 165Hz anyways.

I tried setting all the BIOS settings to stock and it still didn't help.

Low 80s on GPU? I would be a bit worried there. around 75°C is when you need to start to worry. Try increasing the fan speed on GPU by some kind of software (Ex SpeedFan or MSI Afterburner, however im not sure if Afterburner has manual fan settings) and see if it helps. Also, Overclocking can make components unstable regardless of the temps, so try running everything on stock settings then gradually work your way up.

Also, those temps are fine for the stock cooler on the Titan Xp. I have also stress tested the CPU and it's completely stable.

Check windows update history and did you install a new graphics driver for the titan recently?

Yup, ran DDU and installed the latest drivers.

Yup, ran DDU and installed the latest drivers.

What did windows update history say? What was the recent update? Try uninstalling it. If that doesn't work see if the previous version NVidia driver plays games with out stuttering.

The last update was a cumulative update. I tried uninstalling it and it didn't help. I also tried the last version of the Nvidia driver and it didn't help.
