Extreme stuttering occurs exclusively in games, but the cause remains unclear.
Extreme stuttering occurs exclusively in games, but the cause remains unclear.
Hey everyone, I’m still trying to figure out what’s causing these weird FPS swings and drops across all my games. It happens randomly, no matter how I adjust the graphics settings. Usually I can play BF1 smoothly, but in Fortnite it starts dropping even when I switch to low settings.
I’ve talked to someone else and tried a few fixes, but nothing seems to help. I installed a driver from March before the issue began (still using it), set my clocks to normal speed, and enabled/disabled XMP without success.
I ran stress tests on my GPU and CPU, and there’s no stuttering. Here are some test results:
- CPU-Z Benchmark: [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elMpIHhgDTg)
- FPS improvement stats: [link](https://valid.x86.fr/0y794j)
- GPU power draw during games: [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsRYFJZOtok)
Also, my GPU’s power consumption drops to about 50-80W during these games, which is way below the expected 120-150W. They said it’s not the PSU since it handled stress tests fine, so it must be a local issue.

My specs are listed here:
- Monitor: AOC 144Hz 24" display
- I’m really stuck and need advice.
I just copied and pasted the title.
Anyway, the issue was resolved.
Someone suggested disabling the AMD SATA Controller via Device Manager, which helped.
Life is good.
This Seasonic G Series model offers impressive performance with a 550W output. It supports ATX12V and EPS12V standards, making it versatile for various setups. The semi-modular design allows for flexibility in configuration, and it's ready for cross-fire applications. With a temperature rating of 105°C, it can handle demanding workloads. Available on Amazon for easy access.
I’m planning to remove the AMD SATA when I get home. I’ve experienced performance issues for months without knowing the cause, even with an RX 580 and a 9600k processor. I know it’s not related to the CPU. Yet I still watch flawless gameplay videos and don’t understand why my game stutters. If this works, I’ll come back and thank you personally.
