[SOLVED] What is wrong with my GPU? (stuttering, load drops)

[sancakerkan]

Hi, my problem is little drops on GPU load. When I benchmark on Unigine heaven, valley or superposition some reason I don't know the gpu load goes from 99% to 88-90ish % then fps drops a little and then scene frozes like a 0.5 second. I've upload a video on youtube that has some unigine benchmarks, furmark etc. Also, I'm attaching another benchmark results like 3DMARK etc. This problem not occurs on 3dmark or furmark. And I also noticed that on superposition benchmark the problem occurs on 1080p Extreme and lower but not on 1440p Extreme,4K(optimized) or 8K(optimized). I tired to play some graphical intense games today and they were The Witcher 3, Shadow of The Tomb Raider, Resisdent Evil 2 Remastered (all were on ultra+ultra graphics and native 1440p) and there was no such problems. The gpu usage on around 97-100 always, except the menus and some cutscenes. I don't know what happens the GPU but when I watch the benchmark videos on yt there is no such drops. Can someone please please help me.

My Specs
-Ryzen 5 3600X
- MSI B450-A PRO MAX
-G.Skill Flare X 2x8 3200
-MSI RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING X TRIO
-Seasonic Focus GX-650 650W 80+ GOLD
-AOC 27" 144 Hz 1ms QHD Curved VA
-Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SATA SSD

Things I've tried:
-Latest drivers
-Clean instal with DDU
-Clean Windows install
-Older GPU drivers
-Latest BIOS update
-Full virus scan with windows defender
-Latest windows updates
-Closing all the unneeded apps on background (razer chroma dragon center etc.)
-Benchmark with 1 stick ram
-Reassamble GPU and rams
-Putting gpu 2nd pcie slot
-Ultimate power conf on windows
-Pigtailing GPU

Other Benchmarks and games: 3DMARK RESULTS

Any help would be much appreciated.

At 1080p (compared to higher resolutions) the amount of GPU processing power required to hit a certain frame rate goes down. As a result, the maximum frame rate your GPU is capable of in a certain game goes up. Higher frame rates leads to a higher load on your CPU (due to it being responsible for pre-rendering frames and feeding them to the GPU). The reason your GPU load is high at 1440p and above but lower at 1080p is because you get limited by the maximum number for frames your CPU is able to pre-render, leading to a CPU bottleneck (a condition that is familiar to many but unfortunately poorly understood by most). The downside of CPU bottlenecking is not only low GPU utilization, but also stuttering.

If you desire to play at 1080p without the low GPU utilization and stutter, a CPU upgrade is in order. I recommend the Ryzen 5600x which was designed specifically to overcome the shortcomings in the Ryzen 3600 when it comes to gaming (low boost clocks, low IPC, poor single core performance).

So, all the problem is that my little 3600x bottlenecking the GPU?

Yes.

This is a common issue with last generation and older Ryzen CPUs. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people on these forums with a Ryzen 3600x who are unable to get the most out of their GPU due to being CPU limited.

A 5800x will handle it I guess. Should I go with 5900x or will it be waste of money?

Can't go wrong with either, both would be more than capable enough.

Whether or not the 5900x is a waste of money or not depends on you. Is it significantly more powerful? Yes. Is it going to give noticably better performance in most games compared to the 5800x? Probably not, although that'll change as game engine evolve.

Up to you. If you can afford it, go for the 5900x; that's what I would do.

Is there any other observable problem from these information? Especially with GPU itself. Thanks indeed.

Seems fine to me.
