So my MSI Gaming Z Trio RTX 3070 is behaving a little weird as of late.
The issues I'm experiencing are:
large stutters on many games, and they have only begun quite recently. I have changed no graphical settings and the temps seem quite high for a graphics card with three fans no? (75*C under load).
This card has 8GB of VRAM, with a base clock of 1500Mhz and a boost clock of 1770ish Mhz.
I do not OC the card in any way, and it certainly isn't underclocked. In game, it will sit at a good usage at between 80-95% and underneath on MSI Afterburner overlay, it will read anywhere between 5000-7700 Mhz. I'm not entirely sure what this clock reading is for, but it seems when that particular reading reaches 7500Mhz, the stuttering begins.
For example, playing Sea of Thieves at 1440p, the game performs well at ultra settings (100-140 FPS depending on the landscape), but still huge intermittent stutters lasting up to 2 seconds every 40 seconds or so! The Usage is fine, the CPU usage sits at about 40% so it can't be a CPU or RAM issue (RAM sits at about 11gb). The same thing has been happening on games like Squad and RDR2.
Things I have tried to try and resolve the issue:
- Use the MSI Dragon Center rubbish and selected Balanced mode...
- Used DDU and done a clean reinstall of the drivers...
I have absolutely no idea what is going on, but would appreciate any support. Is it possible it is due to a faulty SSD/HDD?
