Stuttering in every game

[john.kolvall]

I'm close to defeat, I feel like I've tried everything. The stuttering has kinda always been there but have become worse with time (computer is about 6 months old). In most games it happens when I open some menu, bags, map and even when i shapeshift on world of warcraft or when entering a new zone and the "zone text" comes up on the screen.

The only thing I really havn't tried is reapplying thermal paste wich I'm about to do in a few days, but my hopes aren't up since my temps really isn't skyrocketing, although they do jump around when monitoring, at least when gaming.

Just did a memtest and found zero errors, tried reinstalling windows, reinstalling games, tried a different cable, tried vsync on/off, game stuff in windows is off, i noticed that even firefox stuttered when mousewheeling up and down. Using chrome now and that doesn't happen. Also GPU/CPU/mem usage isnt abnormal from what I can see. XMP on/off doesnt change one bit. When i first built and started the PC it said the ram was placed in the wrong sockets, but they were the correct ones I havnt tried different sockets but since memtest didnt show errors that cant be it, or can it?

Specs:

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080Ti ROG Strix Gaming
i7 8700k
MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, S-1151
Corsair TX750M, 750W PSU
Corsair Dominator DDR4 3200MHz 16GB


Please help, this is getting super annoying, I don't even want to use the computer since this <mod edit language> is happening..


Edit: Forgot to mention that my old computer showed the exact same symptoms, so I bought a new one that is now showing the same symptoms, which is odd to say the least..

I do not know if this relevant or not but I had bad microstuters when I bought a new screen how are you connecting the GPU to the monitor do you have displayport because a displayport cable fixed my issues.

Watch the language, and don't bump threads. Is the monitor plugged into the GPU or the motherboard?

Is your Windows a legit license? Have you maybe tried a different power outlet? Have all your motherboard drivers been installed, and latest drivers, from Nvidia?

i don't know if this can work for you, i had terrible stutters in every game when i build my new Ryzen PC. my mistake was that i updated my win10 and auto-update GPU driver.

My solution was to download a clean version of windows10, download drivers, and i re-installed windows Clean and disabled the next version auto-update ( means i can get updates only on the same version that i have installed, no jumps to a new version)
also do not "EVER" auto update GPU driver, you can choose any version to install ( Clean install using 'Safe mode' + DDU and remove any folder related to Driver before you install the new one )

hope that wors for you.

Yeah, tried reinstalling windows and I always DDU > download drivers manually, no avail.

UPDATE: I just downloaded doom played everything on ultra, I tried looking but I don't think the stutters were there at all, maybe when i reached checkpoints but again, I don't think so. Everything was running completely fine, so it "SEEMS" that I might facing these stutters in multiplayer games only.

Edit: stutter still there in single player games, just not as frequent.

What are your actual temps?

 

[john.kolvall]

What are your actual temps?

50-60 with turbo off, so they're not high at all.

Have you tried a CMOS reset? It's a long shot, but I have had it fix unexplainable problems, before.

I have not tried it, it's really not something I want to do either... Bit scary.
