I haven't noticed a difference when capped or uncapped, but I'm trying some new stuff to eliminate or reduce the stuttering. edit: one thing I tried that might be helping is moving my m2 SSD from the PCIe slot to the slower chipset slot

I'm starting to wonder if this is a CS:GO issue due to an update by Valve or a graphics driver change related to the Source engine. Do you play Valorant by chance? Try installing it (F2P game, and you might like it) and see if you experience the same frame drops/lag spikes. I do not. Nor do I...

So I played a lot of games yesterday. I do not see it in videos, Starcraft 2, or Doom Eternal. I still see it occasionally in CSGO. It's slight, infrequent, but it is there. It's really hard to measure unfortunately. I did get a private message from someone (I won't use their name because I...

I’ve done that a few times, but it could help if I did it again and installed chipset drivers before windows installs default stuff and NVIDIA drivers. I’m holding off for now though until I exhaust a few more options. Thank you for confirming. It couldn’t hurt for me to try. When you say clear...

I'll run and report back. I did memtest86 and had no errors if that helps. I did not, but bios update was after I noticed problems. I think the bios update auto cleared cache tho, cause I had to go back in and change some settings. I'll try some of those, but I did install the chipset drivers...

I also tried disconnecting USB 3.0 front panel and HD audio front panel connectors after trying many other things, and I am still experiencing issues.

I will try unplugging the USB 3.0 front panel today. I read somewhere that might be it. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/frametime-spikes-stutters-fps-drops-in-all-games.268705/page-3#post-4424742 Update: Nah, that doesn't seem to be it. I didn’t notice but I will try and report...

Hi, I got a new NVMe SSD, PSU, and Case for Christmas. I performed a fresh install of windows and installed all the latest drivers and such. I quickly noticed while playing a game that there was a subtle stutter every so often in the game and It was very annoying to me. I checked the usual...

These are great suggestions, although I didn't see USB-C on any of these. I can make due without it, the other factors are more important. How is Fractal build quality? That case looks nice. Is there a lot of plastic on it or mostly some kind of metal? I recognize CoolerMaster and inwin from 10...

Hi, Can I post for recommendations here? If not, please delete/let me know the proper place. I am looking for a few specifics in a MicroATX case, but should be reasonable to expect in 2020. I would like a MicroATX case that has some sort of window, a USB-C port or two on the front, box or...

Occasional peaks at the FPS in CS:GO and Doom Eternal before and after also showed around the same performance difference (estimate). Userbenchmark pointed out that the GPU was performing below expectation, so can't be all that bad.

Not sure if it is interesting to anyone else, but the pure FPS performance difference was not major between the PCIe 4 x16 vs the PCIe 3 x4 slots. The other issues I described though about stuttering and random frame drops have gone away. Here is userbenchmark with PCIe 3 x4: Here it is with...

I literally shared a picture of all the manual had to say on the matter and asked for more information. It was provided and I am grateful. The part of your comment you deleted about 12 years and such was not very friendly. But cheers.

I think this is a bit mean spirited. I looked at the manual and missed that it was a x4 lane. I thought it was PCIe 3 vs 4. So my mistake, true. I later looked back at the manual and asked my question here just to get some more information from kind experts (I've been gone from this site and PC...

Eventually (probably Christmas) I will be putting all of this in a smaller micro atx case (currently mid tower), so I'll just figure out how to put the fan on the outside of the case with a grill for now. I'm trying to make do salvaging from parts I have laying around and I have a lot of fans...
