Gaming issues like stuttering can occur in both video games and everyday situations.
Gaming issues like stuttering can occur in both video games and everyday situations.
I experienced stuttering while playing games and moving elements on the screen, like dragging windows. The lag in animations was noticeable on my old PC, which I sold because the problem appeared two weeks after setup. After selling that machine, I purchased another one but still faced the issue from the start. The specifications for both builds are listed below. I confirmed on both systems that all components worked properly and there were no signs of overheating. If you need more details, I can share the part lists for both PCs.
After installing all drivers and updating firmware and BIOS, you run the program that monitors system performance. Previously, I used HWiNFO alongside Rivaturner to display stats during gaming, but it often caused noticeable lag, particularly in fast-paced games.
It's curious how two distinct PCs react similarly to the same stutter, especially after a fresh Windows installation. Did you use the identical display for both systems? You might want to check if another monitor is available for testing. Also, it seems you've likely configured the screen at its maximum refresh rate.
Your temperatures are quite high. The cooler is mid-tower and shows no thermal throttling signs, but stuttering is still present. In hwinfo64, idle temps are normal, but launch temperatures spike—this suggests heat buildup. Your VRM voltages seem stable, though. Make sure the thermal paste is adequate and remove any plastic film from the cooler base. It might be overheating despite low throttle settings. You can also test by opening the case side and directing airflow to see if it improves things.
the conditions are favorable when i mentioned no signs for thermal throttling, stable at 30 idle and 60 while gaming
