Erratic/Unsmooth visuals across all titles.
My computer is newly assembled with a fresh Windows 10 Pro installation, all drivers are current, and the motherboard BIOS is up-to-date. My system specifications are: motherboard – MSI Z270 Gaming M7; graphics card – Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 (unmodified); processor – Intel Core i7 7700K (overclocked to 4.8 GHz); cooler – Corsair H100i V2; memory – 16GB DDR4 3200MHz G.Skill Ripjaw’s; power supply – Evga G3 750W 80+ Gold; storage – Samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD; monitor – Acer Predator XB241H (with G-Sync).
I'm experiencing a persistent problem since the initial build, characterized by severe graphical jitter and stuttering in all games, regardless of whether G-Sync or V-Sync is enabled or disabled. Despite maintaining high frame rates capped at 144Hz and 160Hz, this issue remains unchanged. I understand that G-Sync requires frame rate limiting below the monitor's refresh rate, but this doesn’t resolve the problem. I have repeatedly reinstalled Windows, reinstalled graphics drivers (including older versions), and attempted various configurations.
I have conducted extensive hardware troubleshooting, including replacing the power supply, motherboard, and graphics card, and completely rebuilding the PC. I tested with single RAM sticks and both sticks simultaneously, all yielding identical results.
There’s a possibility that the CPU might be defective. It exhibits intermittent temperature spikes of approximately 25°C before rapidly returning to normal idle temperatures of 37-38°C. These spikes occur even when the system is not under load. I have tested both the CPU and RAM at their stock speeds, but the problem persists. I'm completely stumped and frustrated; I’ve exhausted my troubleshooting efforts. I welcome any further assistance or questions.
Considering a move to version 1607 might alleviate the stuttering you're experiencing, especially since you’re also seeing similar issues?
Have you attempted to simply reset your operating clock adjustments in the BIOS and then activate XMP to check for stability?
I’m going to attempt this now and update you within a short time. I experienced this problem with display distortion, which led me to purchase a G-Sync monitor. Nevertheless, even when G-Sync is activated, I continue to see screen tearing and the image remains far from smooth.
I attempted following your advice by resetting my overclocking settings within the BIOS and activating XMP; however, I’m still experiencing the identical problems. I've reverted all BIOS adjustments to their original factory defaults while also disabling integrated graphics, but the outcome remains unchanged. It's possible that the issue originates with my memory—I’ve conducted RAM tests, though it has never failed before. I’ve replaced almost every component in my computer aside from the CPU and RAM. Thank you for your assistance; I sincerely appreciate your support.
I’ve observed an issue that seems to arise only when I move my mouse within the game. Movement using the WASD keys is perfectly smooth. I tested with a different mouse, and the problem persists. Do you have any suggestions? I don't believe it's related to the motherboard, as this has occurred on both motherboards I’ve used in this system.
If you encounter difficulties while playing, immediately switch to another application using Alt+Tab and access Task Manager. Navigate to the Performance tab, then open Resource Monitor. Select the Memory tab, broaden Physical Memory, and capture a screenshot. Upload this image to Imgur and provide the resulting link here. Thank you.
Have you found a solution to this? I’m experiencing the same problem, particularly when playing at frame rates of approximately 260-300.
