It seems like your computer might be struggling to keep up with its tasks.

You're experiencing instability with your graphics card due to the CPU's high performance. It seems the processor is overloading the GPU, causing frame drops and crashes in games like Minecraft. You're considering a different Intel Core i9 model to see if it would improve performance.
The problem seems to appear mainly when mods and additional software are active. The base version should not trigger the stuttering issue in the 9700k, even though it isn't hyperthreaded. I doubt the standard setup would cause it. Are there other applications running alongside MC, like a browser or Discord? Do closing them help? A 9900k might be a better option, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you're comfortable with the cost.
I ran a quick test and honestly don’t understand what’s happening—so here’s what I know. Usually Discord and Chrome are running, but it doesn’t seem to affect anything.
Open Task Manager and look for any Nvidia-related processes that shouldn't be there. I think it was named something like NVidia Shield or similar. There are default hotkeys that are too easy to press without knowing, which is why it’s a problem. @aurosan There’s a discussion about this thread—edited June 29, 2022 by An0maly_76, updated with more details.
