Game experiences delays upon starting the mission before returning to normal operation
Game experiences delays upon starting the mission before returning to normal operation
Hey all.
I recently formated my computer since I had some occasional stutter in CS:GO which I couldn't solve. Battlefield 1 and other games worked fine.
I disabled the internet, even though I knew I had to install the LAN driver, I wanted to be sure so that Windows Update wouldn't download something. So I downloaded all the drivers I needed before re-installing Windows.
I did it in this order: Nvidia Driver -> Realtek HD Audio -> USB -> Intel INF (latest version from Intel instead of the older version from Gigabyte) -> Intel Management Engine Interface -> Intel Rapid Storage Technology -> LAN driver. After that I downloaded all the updates from Windows Update, have checked once a day for new updates, optimized Windows by disabling stuff in Privacy, Apps etc and changing Visual Effects as well as disabled Remote Access and everything related to Cortana (but didn't disable ANY services), installed some programs, disabled some programs to autostart.
Now, it SEEMS like the CS:GO stutter have been fixed, further testing/playing required to determine if the problem is completely eliminated. The new problem that have occured is when I launch Battlefield 1 and I launch a mission, the game lags as hell at first then it becomes smooth and sometimes I've experienced a phenomenon similar to rubber-banding while playing offline (in CS as well) but very infrequently. Also, if I remember correctly I had better FPS before the Windows re-install.
What do I have to do? Use DDU and install the Nvidia driver again? I have changed to Prefer Max Performance in Nvidias 3D Program Settings as well and that didn't solve it. Can it be something in the BIOS? Only things I've touched is the FAN speeds (Full Speed), disabled the Turbo Boost (waiting on a new cooler) and enabled ErP because I don't want my headset/mouse to be ON when the computer is OFF.
Specs:
i7 7700k
Gainward GTX 1070 GS
EVGA Supernova G2 750W
16GB RAM 2133MHz
Kingston SSD UV400 480GB
Gigabyte z270 Gaming K3
EDIT: CS:GO still stutters as much as before the Windows reinstall. Seems like I got less FPS also, since I have lower graphics settings now then I had before.
Download hwinfo, check the BIOS and Windows version, and share the findings.
I have Windows 10 Home 64bit – I reinstalled it by picking "I don't remember my product key" and selecting the Home version. Odd that I also had access to the Pro version, but perhaps that would just install the Home anyway.

- HWInfo Summary. Strange Core clock readings. Also, my CPU idle temps were high, so I restarted the PC. Before that, I saw "Windows Modules Installer Workers" in the task manager but didn’t act on it. Then it displayed "Configuring Windows. Don't turn off the system." I waited 15-20 minutes before powering down. I checked for updates earlier and found only one. Now I’m worried something went wrong.
I recently installed Dishonored 2, which worked well on ULTRA except for bloom, motion blur, depth of field, and two settings set to Very High before a reinstall. Now I notice a noticeable drop in FPS, even at 80 FPS. With a 144hz monitor using an ICC profile.
I would begin by downloading the BIOS for F5 from this site. Then I'd put it onto a clean USB drive and reboot. After that, I'd use the hammering key to enter the BIOS setup and proceed to system and BIOS upgrade. Flashing the BIOS should likely resolve many of the issues you're encountering, if not all.
there is obviously a problem with the memory timings and stability otherwise the manufacturer would not release a new bios its a simple update procedure I explained how to do it if you want have look on youtube
HWMonitor displays accurate Core Clocks and Memory readings. I've seen everywhere that updating the BIOS is a last option. Of course, I have issues, but it doesn't seem logical for the BIOS to be the reason since it mostly worked before. Thank you for your assistance, but I remain very doubtful about BIOS updates. The F5 release was only two days ago, and I haven't found any release notes anywhere.
