i've been experiencing significant stuttering in valorant lately. i've looked for fixes and realized this issue seems widespread across games. everywhere i see people dealing with the same problem, and it appears many of them are using a b550 motherboard. i'm wondering if this is related to the bios, a manufacturing flaw, or an amd gpu problem. i need guidance since i expect smooth performance but currently see around 30 fps. my 1% lows drop to 10-30 fps. i'm warning others not to buy a gigabyte b550 without a fix.

update: the 7000 series gpus sometimes have sudden power spikes that cause fps drops. i'm getting a 1000w psu to prevent this, but if it doesn't help, i'll return.

update: i managed to resolve it by using the pcie x1_1 slot instead of x16. my setup includes a ryan 5 5600x, 7900xt gpu, gigabyte b550 board, and a 600w psu. performance is stable now: 1080p at 300-500 fps, 1% lows at 10-30 fps usage. clock speeds are normal, and lag spikes occur roughly every 100-400ms. it seems the issue isn't with my cpu, but possibly related to power delivery or gpu configuration.

that is 1080p and its about 70-80% usage

Extreme CPU limitations and an undercapacitated power supply.

the 7900xt and cpu use minimal energy, the 7900 only draws 200-300 watts (noticeable in high-end gaming setups), while the cpu stays under 110 watts (roughly 60-70% of the power supply). the cpu won’t limit performance below 200fps, even with my monitor’s refresh rate, and it handles valorant smoothly. its clock speeds are just a bit below the 7900xt’s.
