Issues keep appearing in nearly all games.
Issues keep appearing in nearly all games.
Games like Valorant, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends often experience drops in FPS below 5 or microstutter, then return to normal briefly. My guess is related to RAM issues, though I only noticed this after upgrading my GPU to a 4080. If you have any ideas on how to resolve this or improve performance, feel free to share. I've attached some performance graphs showing the problem areas.
You haven't installed DDU yet. That might explain the problem.
I believed I had used DDU after upgrading, but I couldn’t locate any evidence of it. I tried running it again and everything appears to function properly now. I’ll inform you if it occurs again.
CPU model is Intel I9-9900K GPU supports MSI RTX 4080 Super Ventus 3X series board. RAM includes G.Skill Ripjaws V Series with 8 GB DDR4-3200 and two x2 modules totaling 16 GB at XMP 3200. SSD is SanDisk Ultra 3D 500 GB 2.5" M.2, paired with a 48GB drive. HDD is WD Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM. Additional components: some Microcenter M.2 slots, monitor brand Alienware (models AW3225QF and AW25148H at 240Hz).
I'm not sure if this matches exactly, but my wife used GSync and also had VSync while playing 7 days to die. The stuttering made it nearly impossible to play. After a few days, a helpful forum post revealed the problem. Turning off VSync in the game resolved it completely (while keeping GSync on). It seems this was only an issue for her, though—it might be a broader problem. I thought sharing it could help others or you. Good luck!
