Hi everyone, first time posting here but I've been having this problem for a few weeks and none of the possible solutions I've found have helped so here goes...
So essentially I've been getting stutters while gaming that last for about .1 to .3 seconds occurring after performing an action like shooting or right before hearing a gunshot. First off here are my specs:
Gpu: Rtx 3090 (pny)
Cpu: Ryzen 9 5950x
MB: MSI MEG x570 ACE
RAM: Teamgroup xtreem ARGB ddr4 64GB (4 sticks)
Power: 850w Core reactor gold
SSD: Seagate Firecuda 520 1tb ssd (25% free)
This all started for the first time a few weeks ago after downloading and playing escape from tarkov. Before that i had played mostly warzone and halo and didn't notice this problem at all (as of now I've had the rig for a little over a year). While playing i would get horrible stutters right as i would shoot at people or they would shoot at me. Even gunshots in the distance would cause my game to stutter, seemingly every time a NEW sound was introduced. I contacted Tarkov support and tried quite a few things to fix this including:
Lowering and raising in game settings
Closing all background programs
enabling AXMP
Reinstalling windows
Clean uninstall and reinstall of drivers (Realtek, nvidia hd audio and nvidia display drivers)
Changing from displayport to HDMI
Clearing caches
Changing nvidia setting to performance
Updating BIOS
There's probably some other things I'm forgetting but nothing has seemed to work. I've tried to monitor the behavior when it occurs and none of the numbers have stood out... in fact when the stutters happen the gpu usage actually drops slightly (as does the power percentage) but nothing seems to spike. I've tried to record the issue and it doesn't seem to show up on the clips while being clear as day during the gameplay itself.
I thought that it was limited to tarkov but recently its been happening on dying light 2 and Lost ark as well (usually when casting an ability or damaging an enemy) It also doesn't appear to be a gsync issue as I'm not running up against the frame limit of my monitor while playing Tarkov at least.
I have tried these games on my other computer (2080 ti and an intel cpu, not sure which one off hand) and there is no stutter, ruling out any connection issues.
There have been moments here and there where the stutters do not occur but they seem to be few and far between.
Also im not even pushing this system to the limit as i generally run on 1440p on medium settings on a 144 hz monitor... nothing is even close to maxing out.
Any help getting to the bottom of this would be really appreciated as this has been driving me kind of crazy... if any more info is needed id be happy to provide it. Thanks in advance!
