Question Stutters in empty zones, or at least less active regions.
Question Stutters in empty zones, or at least less active regions.
I believe I identified the problem with the random clock spikes I mentioned earlier. Recently, I've experienced stuttering or spikes in less demanding sections, such as watching water in GTA 5, followed by significant stutters when entering a house, then more stutters while outside, but no issues inside. In World of Warcraft, my FPS has dropped dramatically compared to before. In very low-intensity areas of WoW, I'm only getting around 70 FPS, which is much lower than what I normally see in the real world. Could you help me?
PSU: Make (Hyper) , Model, wattage, age, condition?
GPU/graphics okay in less intensive areas. Then when there are more objects, movements etc. the system needs more power and may peak accordingly.
If the PSU is unable to satisfy that peak power demand (either in speed or wattage) then gaming performance will falter.
My idea is that the PSU is beginning to weaken.
Check the Reliability History for any error messages or alerts.
You can rely on Resource Monitor, Task Manager, and Process Explorer to identify what's using CPU and GPU power.
Try each one individually, but use them one at a time.
