Game pauses intermittently without affecting frame rate
Game pauses intermittently without affecting frame rate
Hello everyone, I've been experiencing some spikes or stutters while playing games. There haven't been any noticeable FPS drops; I checked the task manager and it's not consuming much RAM. My temperatures are also normal, never going above 67 degrees.
My system specs are:
i7-9700K
RTX 2060 Super.
16GB 2666Mhz RAM (2x8)
I'm not a tech expert, which is why I thought about asking for advice.
The issue keeps happening every 10 seconds and it really affects my gaming experience. I've tried various benchmarks with different graphics settings, but the problem persists regardless of the settings. My PC is only about three months old and has never had any temperature issues or bottlenecks. Everything else on the system works fine. The strange part is that my FPS counter stays stable in almost every game, and I even recorded a clip to check if it might have dropped to low FPS suddenly—though it didn't.
I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Hey there,
You might want to adjust MSI Afterburner's MSI to display some information on the screen while playing.
In the OSD for MSI Afterburner, configure it to show
CPU - Usage/Temps/Clock Speed
GPU - Usage/Temps/Vram/Clockspeed/Framrate/Frametime/1% Low
System ram usage.
This will let you observe on screen as you play and notice 100% usage situations, plus any frame time increases. It should help you see what's happening. Share a screenshot of your system under load while gaming.
You could also set up HWMon/Info to keep an eye on your hardware in real time.
