You might want to reconsider your in-game settings. With your new 175Hz monitor and adaptive sync, you're already enjoying smoother gameplay. However, the difference between your high and low FPS feels significant, especially when aiming for ultra settings. Lowering in-game performance isn't the solution here because it won't bridge the gap effectively.
Your current setup shows solid hardware—CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage are all within acceptable ranges. The issue seems more related to how your games handle frame rates under stress. If you're consistently hitting 60FPS on Ultra and 130FPS at medium settings, the disparity might be due to game optimization rather than your configuration.
Try adjusting in-game settings gradually, focusing on frame rate stability rather than raw numbers. If the problem persists, consider checking for any recent updates or patches that could improve performance on your specific hardware.
Do you prefer breaking things apart or stumbling over words? If it’s the latter, try turning off any adaptive syncs in VSync and see if it improves things. Regarding adaptive sync, just understanding the game you’re playing and its effect on each part helps more. Be careful with CPU usage—just because it’s running doesn’t mean it’s fully utilized. Check if all cores are being used; if not, your setup might need adjustment. Also, look into the cooling system and whether PBO is enabled (it’s usually off by default).
It seems a switch to a 5800X3D or AM5 7800X3D could greatly boost 1% lows in numerous games, right?
I value both aspects. Turning off Adaptive Sync causes excessive strain, potentially triggering a seizure, and it doesn’t address stuttering or GPU usage issues. From the benchmarks I reviewed, their GPU utilization stayed around 98-100%, while mine often exceeded 95% for some reason. I’d like to see a CPU core utilization chart. All drivers and BIOS should be current. The PC is cooled with an Arctic Freezer 34 for esports, but temperatures never became a problem. I’m unsure about PBO settings; I only overclocked RAM in the BIOS. New games that demand high CPU and GPU performance often cause unpredictable FPS drops—sometimes reaching 115 FPS in open areas, then falling to 65 inside a building. When I re-enter the building later, it jumps back to 110, which seems inconsistent. Diablo 4 is similar; I’ve seen 145 FPS in some zones, then 80-90 elsewhere, especially during combat. The sudden jumps from 130 to 65 are unusual and hard to explain.
Have the newest Adrenaline update been tested? That version seems unusual—are you using Ultra mode? You're right, the latest release tends to lag when higher performance settings are enabled.
Windows seems to be handling things normally, but I can't force an automatic update. The one I suspect is the problem isn't causing it, though I might try downloading the latest version manually. Diablo 4 runs smoothly on ultra with my current specs—no major drops or stutters. Their tests show the GPU at 100% and CPU around 20%, while mine is 95% GPU and 50%, spiking to 85% CPU. It might be the GPU bottleneck, and I probably can't upgrade beyond the 5800X3D due to my AM4 socket.
