Experiencing speech impediments frequently during gameplay on high-performance hardware.
Experiencing speech impediments frequently during gameplay on high-performance hardware.
I experience stuttering across numerous video games, with varying frequency depending on the title. This persists from older games like Half-Life through more recent titles such as Modern Warfare 2019. The issue has endured for over a year, and I remain unable to determine its cause. Certain games operate without stutters, further complicating matters. I have attempted numerous troubleshooting methods, and welcome any suggestions. Perhaps a second attempt will resolve the problem.
My system specifications are as follows:
Intel Core i5-9500F
ASRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4
EVGA GTX 1060 SC with manual overclocking (reaching temperatures of up to 86°C)
500GB 970EVO Plus – experiencing stuttering with Modern Warfare 2019
2TB HDD
RipJaws V 2666mhz DDR4 RAM (two 2x4gb kits)
650w PSU
I am uncertain if the RAM configuration is contributing to the problem, but lack testing equipment.
Certain video games experience limitations regarding thread availability due to specific processor characteristics. Intel processors lacking hyperthreading can exhibit frame time spikes under heavy load, leading to stuttering issues. For example, in the game Warzone, insufficient threads within your CPU can be a significant factor. It is advisable to restrict the maximum frames per second. Additionally, some games demonstrate unusual behavior, particularly those utilizing Rockstar’s RAGE engine, where stuttering occurs when frame rates surpass a particular threshold—approximately 150fps as observed in Grand Theft Auto V. Reducing the maximum frames per second below this level can mitigate these problems. Furthermore, removing any overclocking modifications will likely exacerbate these issues.
Component producers typically do not ensure the compatibility of combining several memory sets.
Can you ascertain the parameters they have implemented?
Clock Rate for Memory
Access Times for DRAM
Voltage supplied to DRAM
The system’s clock rate measures 2666 megahertz, as previously stated.
Memory timings are configured at 15-15-15-35 cycles.
Memory voltage is set to 1.20 volts.

Certain video games impose thread limitations; Intel processors lacking hyperthreading experience elevated frame time fluctuations under heavy loads, resulting in stuttering. Specifically within Warzone, your central processing unit likely lacks sufficient threads. Limiting the frames per second is necessary. Several games exhibit erratic behavior, particularly those utilizing Rockstar’s RAGE engine, manifesting in stuttering at higher frame rates – approximately 150fps for Grand Theft Auto V, for instance. Reducing the fps below this threshold mitigates the issue. Furthermore, removing any overclock would alleviate performance degradation when the processor is operating near thermal limits, reaching temperatures of 3 degrees Celsius above normal. Graphics cards are sensitive to temperature; overclocking is impractical due to insufficient thermal capacity. Considering you possess a GeForce GTX 1060, poor case ventilation or dried thermal paste on the graphics card could be contributing factors. It’s also prudent to investigate whether the central processing unit is reaching temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius.
The unexpected lack of hyperthreading was noteworthy. My PC’s airflow is satisfactory, featuring three fans – two intakes and one exhaust (or alternatively configured). A solitary fan operates at a factory overclock on a 1060, reaching approximately 91 degrees Celsius during an instance where its fan control was inadvertently disabled. Furthermore, I've implemented some manual adjustments to the settings. It appears problematic, but the system is operational, and the graphics card does not appear to be the primary source of concern. Lacking another card for testing, your assessment could be accurate. The central processing unit maintains a cool temperature, typically around 60 degrees Celsius during demanding gaming sessions, as I believe I recall.
The graphics card’s BIOS indicates the following thermal specifications: a nominal operating temperature of 83.0 degrees Celsius, with a maximum threshold set at 92.0 degrees Celsius; operation exceeding this latter value will result in system shutdown.
