Is the game running fast but getting slow when I play a few frames?
Is the game running fast but getting slow when I play a few frames?
I have a lot of stuttering in almost every game except for TF2, and my lowest scores are terrible around 3 to 1 frames per second while the average is about 130 fps. I only saw this problem once with Dead Space Remake, but it happens in every game I play so I think other games have the same issue too. I recently upgraded my computer and changed almost everything except for the hard drives, keyboard, and monitor (the monitor is about three months old), but the stuttering problem is still there. My current setup includes: CPU Ryzen 7 7700, GPU RTX 5070, PSU DeepCool GamerStorm PN850M, Motherboard 650M Gaming Plus with WiFi, RAM 16GB ADATA XPG Lancer Blade, Samsung SSD 970 Pro 512 GB, two 4TB Toshiba hard drive(s), and an LG Ultragear monitor. Here is what I tried: switching power plans, turning off the monitor's sound (NVIDIA high definition audio), enabling A-XMP, using DDU to reinstall drivers, making several windows restarts, deleting the Nvidia app, locking down frame rate and V-Sync plus G-Sync disabling game mode, disabling the game menu and bars, uninstalling SCF, SCANNOW, and scanning commands, installing games on SSD instead of HDDs, checking disk health (all 100%), unplugging the LAN cable, unplugging the keyboard or mouse. The latter seemed to help a bit (the mouse is old) but I am not sure yet, so I will need to test with a different mouse. Problems started before I installed MSI Afterburner, so that can't be the issue either because the GPU is connected via 12V 2x6 connector, so that also isn't the problem. I use Display port. Maybe the bus usage could be a cable problem? It seems to frequently hit 100%, but when I googled this I couldn't find any information on whether that could cause problems or how to fix it.
Hi, I'm on the basic card that worked when I put in the new board. It didn't seem like a problem at first, so I'll try updating it now and let you know what happens.
I did three things: swapped out my mouse, ran a test, updated the BIOS, then swapped it back to the original one. Right after swapping the mouse, it seemed like things got better (lower lows went up by about 1% and 0.1%). Then I updated the BIOS, which I don't think helped anything at all. After that, I put my old mouse back and the frame rate stayed exactly the same. Sadly, I didn't save any logs to keep track of this. So I am really confused because none of these steps seem to have actually fixed the problem. Most likely, it's something about how I play the game, honestly. My FPS is still all over the place, and my lows are way too low even at 1080p high settings.
If you have the newest graphics card software from Nvidia, try going back a little bit. Lots of folks told them they were having trouble.
I don't think that's the problem. I already had stuttering problems with my old graphics card, a 3060. If it was the drivers, I'd have to wait three or four months after they started making things worse. Back then there were no drivers for the 5070 yet.
I took a closer look at this. Stuttering happens every thirty or forty seconds, though it can come up more often than that. I'm not sure what else to tell you right now.
You can download a program named Zen Timings, start using it, and look at the FCLK number on the far right in the second row of the screen.
Go find where FCLK shows up in your BIOS settings. Since this name isn't always on your screen, you might need to search for "Infinity Fabric Speed." Try changing that option to 1800 MHz, because that's what works best right now.
