Hi all,
Since a few days, I experience hiccups in every game I play, for example Splitgate, CSGO, PUBG...
You could describe this best by saying that 95% of the time, the game is smooth as ever, but suddenly I get major frame drops - stutter for about half a second. After that, it goes back to being smooth.
I think it's needless to say this makes gaming difficult, certainly when you play FPS-games.
I really hope you guys can help me out, with every day passing I get more and more frustrated as gaming is one of my few hobby's.
Every kind of feedback is highly appreciated. I'll try to answer any questions for further feedback as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance and kind regards,
Tricolores

I'm in ICT support myself, but I'm flabbergasted by this. I might sound like an end user by saying this, but everything worked fine only a few days ago... And I can't put my finger on it why this is happening.What I have tried so far:
- Reinstall Windows
- Return to older Nvidia driver (currently running 511.79, most recent driver has the same issues) and even to Windows 10, with no results
- Remove dust from inside computer
- Set scaling to GPU instead of display
- Play around with multiple settings inside Nvidia Control Panel (problem also present at default settings)
- Check with LatencyMon if I could find any software causing it (besides lots of pagefaults from WebView2 Runtime, nothing out of the ordinary)
- Turn off power saving in BIOS
- Test hardware by running a UserBenchmark - result: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53057863
- Turn of hardware acceleration where possible
- Check SSD health, stress test GPU
I really hope you guys can help me out, with every day passing I get more and more frustrated as gaming is one of my few hobby's.
