Issues with stuttering in FPS games
Issues with stuttering in FPS games
Hey, I've been experiencing some problems lately with stuttering and instability, especially when the frame rate drops significantly during certain games. I believe my PC is fairly well-equipped, so I'm not sure what might be causing these issues.
Here are my specifications:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8 core processor + Wraith Spire
- GPU: NVIDIA Geo-Force RTX 2070 Super
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32 GB
- Motherboard: Aorus X570
- Graphics settings: Usually medium or high, but FPS drops to as low as 20-30, sometimes even lower in games like Minecraft where it can fall as low as 10. Games such as Fortnite are particularly challenging because I often see around 140 FPS before the game crashes to about 20 and then recovers. This makes gameplay very choppy and affects my movement.
Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Also, when streaming or recording with OBS, I sometimes get a message saying the encoder is overloading. Is this related to the same problems I'm facing with FPS?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Let me know if you need any more details.
This process should be carried out step by step, ensuring optimal performance and preventing issues after an upgrade:
Disconnect from the internet
Remove the GPU driver DDU (clean carefully without restarting).
Uninstall all processors—this is essential. Ensure your device has 16 processors and click 'No' when prompted for a restart.
Proceed through the Device Manager, locate the chipset driver or software in the control panel, and skip if none exists.
Restart the PC to BIOS and update to the latest BIOS version. After updating, return to BIOS, select default or optimized settings, and enable AMD SVM and IOMMU options (if available). Set XMP/Manual OC, save changes, and exit.
Power on Windows and install the latest chipset driver.
Reboot and reconnect to the internet.
Install the newest NVIDIA driver.
Perform all actions offline until the reboot, then restart after installing the chipset driver to apply XMP settings and previous configurations.
Download required files before proceeding to step 1, following the steps in order.
Run cmd as administrator, then execute chkdsk /x /f /r, followed by sfc /scannow.
Verify Windows Update (and optional updates) and install them unless a chipset update is selected.
Confirm the PSU connected to the GPU uses a single 1 PCIe cable per slot—use the main cable, not the branches or splits.
