FPS DROPS (stutters)
FPS DROPS (stutters)
I am experiencing significant FPS drops in games like Fortnite and Valorant, which began approximately one month ago. Despite rebooting my PC and attempting various troubleshooting steps, the issue persists. My system specifications are: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x, GPU: GTX 1060 6GB, Motherboard: ASRock AB350M Pro4, RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400Hz. Temperatures range from 60-66°C for the CPU and 65-70°C for the GPU. I have a 1.73TB HDD and a 53GB SSD. My power supply is an Evga 600W 80+ Bronze. The FPS drops occur roughly every 1 to 5 seconds in Fortnite and every 5 to 10 seconds in Valorant, as demonstrated in the attached screenshots.
A CPU stress test should be performed to ensure it can handle the overclock, and if your PC does not crash during the stress test, you’re good to go. Not all overclocks need an increase in voltage, especially if they aren’t too high of an overclock. I think yours is a pretty mild overclock as well, so I doubt there’s any need for extra voltage.
The process of managing computer performance involves monitoring resource utilization through tools like Task Manager to identify potential bottlenecks. A malware scan utilizing software such as Malwarebytes is recommended for security verification. Furthermore, maintaining up-to-date graphics card (GPU) drivers can optimize system functionality.
Acquired a six-core/twelve-thread processor to ensure adequate processing capabilities, initial guidance suggested insufficient thread count.
When achieving frame rates exceeding two hundred frames per second, the game typically utilizes all or nearly all of its threads; defaulting settings can result in one core experiencing significantly elevated boosting, potentially leading to interruptions. It is advisable to configure all cores at base clock speeds to enhance stability. Alternatively, implementing a maximum frames per second limit would be appropriate, considering that two hundred frames per second represents an optimal upper bound.
Despite recording up to 144 frames per second, frame rate fluctuations continue to occur. My typical gaming resolution is 144Hz, and I was attempting to illustrate these stuttering issues within an uncapped environment. I am unfamiliar with MSI Afterburner; could you advise on how to effectively utilize all available processor cores?
