Issue with Warzone loading frames or stuttering issues.
Issue with Warzone loading frames or stuttering issues.
Hello everyone, I'm just starting out with PC gaming and running into problems with Warzone. Frames keep dropping into the 20s and the game stutters heavily during intense moments. Could someone help me figure this out? Here are my specs: a Ryzen 5 3600XT, Asus 2070, using an M.2 NVMe SSD. I was aiming for smooth performance at 1080p with no frame rate limits and motion blur off. If I can capture the issue next time and upload a video, that would be great! Thanks!
The specifications match your current configuration. Is there any additional software active? Are multiple game and launcher overlays running simultaneously? Do you stream or use a DVR system such as Xbox Game Bar or Nvidia Experience?
I'll verify your temperatures, it seems like throttling is occurring.
I play with friends using the Xbox Game bar on my PC. My Xbox One stopped working, so I switched to a PC. I don’t stream; the only background apps are the Xbox Party System and hardware monitor. Also, voicemeeter banana helps manage my microphone. GPU temperatures stay low, never exceeding 72°C. CPU reaches its max at 84°C under full load, which shouldn’t cause throttling—I wouldn’t worry... Apologies for not replying earlier, but I didn’t get back. New to the forum as well... Edited September 16, 2020 by SansVarnic Merged Comments
Temperature is approaching a safe limit. Review your cooling configuration; ensure adequate case airflow if using a stock cooler. For compact cases with limited airflow, turn off the BIOS boost feature. Ideal temperatures hover around the mid-70s. You might need to replace the cooler first—verify thermal paste quality and proper mounting. Excessive heat can cause significant performance throttling, even for high-end chips like Ryzen which have dropped below 1 GHz in certain cases.
I'm on the stock cooler with the wraith prism stealth setup. It should provide ample airflow—three 120mm Corsair Mag-lev intake fans and two 140mm Corsair Mag-Lev exhaust fans inside the Lian Li 011 Dynamic case. No carpet underneath. In BIOS I've adjusted both manual PWM fan settings and used Asus' turbo option. I've considered swapping it out, but it just isn't performing well enough. Clearly, I'm not pushing any overclocks or high-temperature workloads.
An affordable air cooler or AIO offers significant temperature reduction.
I frequently encounter this situation and understand the concerns. Usually, temperature problems stem from an improper paste application rather than the cooler itself. This typically occurs during idle periods, after about 20 minutes of gaming, and when the CPU is heavily utilized across all cores—especially in games that are well-suited for multithreading and demanding both CPU and GPU power. Yes, I verified this with Ryzen Master; temperatures are accurate, though the only minor discrepancies come from idle clocks, which are generally acceptable. My setup seems to be adequately cooled thanks to the case fans, but I haven’t made any major adjustments beyond ensuring everything is properly seated.
I initially changed the CPUs/mobiles a few times, but the impact on stock paste and mx5 was minimal—around 3-5°C. That doesn’t mean it’s insignificant, but it’s not huge either. It’s not saying they always ruin pre-applied stuff or that you’re stuck using the same material. Definitely worth experimenting with a different paste. By the way, here’s my "fan collection" setup—PC. I once had a second fan under the GPU, each helping cut temperatures by about 2-3°C, but I struggled to control it and ended up removing it. Now I stay well below 60°C for both CPU and GPU during normal gaming. Also, as you might notice, the exhaust fan and extra GPU fan are off when not under load; it’s unnecessary since temps usually hover around 38-40°C while idle.
