Help needed with extreme stuttering issues in games.
Help needed with extreme stuttering issues in games.
So lately I have been getting a lot of stutters in games, mainly GTA V, Warzone, and Far Cry New Dawn. (been happening for a whole, but it's got tenser recently)
games like Rainbow Six, CS:GO and VALORANT run just fine (small micro-stutters that won't do much, but sometimes is annoying.)
I am not sure what the issue is but, first things first, here are my specs:
GPU: Asus GTX 1660 Super 6GB Dual Mini
CPU: i3-10100F 3.6GHz 4C-8T
RAM: Lexar 1x8GB DDR4 2666MHz
Mobo: Gigabyte H410M H
PSU: Corsair CV650 80+ Bronze
SSD: Kingston A400 480GB (Windows)
HDD: Seagate 2TB (Games + Work)
CPU Cooler: Stock Intel Cooler
All games are running at 1080p 75Hz
When running GTA V, CPU Usage is at 40% and GPU is also at 40% and the game takes about 3GB Ram + Windows and other apps 3-4GB = 6-7GB Ram
and my Fps is at 60-80
MAX
AND
LOW
which is not right, I should be getting 120+ as I have seen on YouTube benchmarks and the fact that I was getting better fps on an i5-4460 with a GT 1030 and 4GB RAM.
Temps are okay and no thermal throttling. I am not sure what the issue is here.
This is my current usages and temps in GTA V, as you can see my FPS is 63. (
This is the lowest settings at 1080p
)
I have Discord, TeamSpeak, Steam, Epic Games, Rockstar Games, and VibranceGUI open, nothing else. (closing them doesn't change a thing.)
Stuttering begins to happen after about 5 minutes into the game. Freezes can be up to 10 seconds. and A LOT of micro stutters. (it's unplayable)
CPU is not the bottleneck, this CPU should be able to run cyberpunk at Ultra at 60fps just fine. And I am playing GTA V at the lowest settings. So I am sure the CPU is doing more than fine.
I am not sure what to do, so if someone can guide me through benchmarking or maybe stress testing to see my issue, that would be awesome.
NOTE:
I want to point out that I was never getting stutters before (only recently), but I was still getting low fps.
It's difficult to determine without more information. Running a UserBenchmark and sharing the outcome could be useful. My concerns seem to focus on two areas: background processes and RAM usage. Additionally, it would help to know how full your storage drive is.
I will execute UserBenchmark and share the results soon. Currently, I'm using Windows Server 2019 with minimal background activity. The page file is set to 16000MB on C and D drives, and my 2TB drive has 500GB left, which seems sufficient. It's running smoothly. Would defragmenting help resolve any problems?
would adding another stick help, i was thinking about getting a new one soon.
