Micro Stutters (Applicable to both digital and physical environments).
Micro Stutters (Applicable to both digital and physical environments).
Hello,
I recently posted about this issue but did not find a resolution. My list of attempted fixes remains unsuccessful.
The problem I experience is a brief, isolated “micro stutter” while in motion within any game (CSGO, LoL, Dota2, Siege). My frame rate never drops below 5-15 FPS, and latency/ping remains stable.
I typically do not concern myself with minor details, but I invested significantly in this PC, and my games require a consistent experience to perform optimally.
Specifications:
CPU: i9-9900k
GPU: nVidia RTX 2080
Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING
Memory/RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB PC3200
Monitor: ASUS PQ279Q - 144 HZ
SSD: Samsung Evo 970 NVME
Steps Taken:
* Reinstalled Windows 10 Home 64-bit and updated all drivers.
* Disabled HPET via command prompt.
* Disabled DynamicTick via command prompt.
* Disabled Game Presence Bar Writer by renaming the .exe file.
* Disabled G-Sync and attempted Vsync (normally off, but tested both on and off).
* Performed a system shutdown of numerous services (following online recommendations).
* Adjusted Ethernet Adapter advanced settings.
* Disabled Windows 10’s unnecessary features, including uninstalling apps via PowerShell.
* Updated all Chipset, NVME, GPU, and Onboard Sound/LAN drivers.
* Experimented with Power Settings: Normal, Performance, and “Ultra.”
* Limited FPS to 2-3 frames below the monitor’s refresh rate.
The PC is only a few months old, and I am considering returning it for inspection.
I offer $50 USD to anyone who identifies a permanent solution to this issue. I will provide video recordings demonstrating the problem.
Best Regards, Thomas 'wBoop' Andersen.
Note: I monitored GPU/CPU/Motherboard/SSD temperatures using HW Monitor and other programs during gameplay, with no unusual spikes detected.
Hello.
Have you located a resolution? I am experiencing the same problem with my computer.
I have attempted numerous solutions, including: a clean Windows 10 installation / reverting to Windows 10 version 1803 (I am currently running 1903); reinstalling Nvidia drivers, including older versions like 399.07; disabling HPET; disabling Windows services; various Nvidia settings adjustments; updating the BIOS; disabling TurboMode on the CPU; XMP Profile enabled/disabled; testing with an older GPU (a GTX 780, though its reliability is questionable); reapplying thermal paste to the CPU; testing alternative PCIe slots for the GPU; utilizing a different monitor; disconnecting all peripherals; running with one RAM stick at a time.
It is frustrating. I had to return it once due to incorrect RAM installation. It’s regrettable considering that, aside from occasional Microstutters occurring approximately every 60 seconds, the computer performs exceptionally well at Ultra settings with high frame rates. Could the monitor be the source of these Microstutters?

The following remain untested: replacing the CPU, utilizing another motherboard, and swapping out the power supply unit.
