Returned to Team Red after 20 years... What do I need to know?
He hasn't shown any stuttering, according to what I understand. Micro-stuttering might mean different things. Are you using a reliable NVMe drive? How much background activity are you having? Are you adjusting voltage or overclocking?
Install HWiNFO64 (only sensors, logging enabled) and run the game with micro-stuttering for at least 30 minutes. Record any significant stutters and share the timings. Upload the log file to a location we can access without logging in so we can review it.
I agree with your assessment about the Gigabyte CC. Updating it to the firmware or onboard memory would clarify why the RGB color remained even after uninstalling the software. I might attempt a BIOS flash—this hasn't been done for GPUs before. Where can I locate it?
Regarding the NVMe, Gen 4 drives work on a PCIE Gen 5 motherboard. I haven’t updated the CPU yet, but the RAM is running XMP at 6200mhz (stock is 6000). As for background applications... there’s quite a bit of them. I was more careful with that when I had an older system.
The game you mentioned is the only one causing problems; everything else is functioning well.
I’ll consider your suggestion to review logs later. Thanks.
I've never tried that with a GPU either, and it doesn't seem like Gigabyte makes it simple to locate. Still, it's always risky, so I'd first consider removing the profile using the Gigabyte app or overriding it with MSI Afterburner. Regarding the RGB settings, most programs set them in the card's internal memory, which keeps them even after uninstalling the software. I did this with my MSI 4080 by installing MSI Control Center to adjust the RGB and then removing it. By the way, this reminds me that I couldn't configure my GPU fan curve with any other tool until I fully uninstalled MSI Control Center. You might have a similar problem—trying reinstalling the Gigabyte utility and uninstalling it with Revo Uninstaller, making sure to delete all files and registry entries could help.
I'll attempt it again. But that's what I did initially (Revo Uninstaller/deleted everything). I don't recall adjusting any performance-related options in the Gigabyte CC, but perhaps I did. It could be that I set it to high performance and then removed it. So, it might require changing it or setting it to a default profile before uninstalling.
You might also consider using MSI Afterburner. Download it and adjust the settings, navigating to the "Fan" section, then activate "Firmware Control Mode." Modify the fan curve, press apply, and observe any adjustments in fan speed.
I really appreciated you bringing this to my attention. Watching one of his videos made me grasp Adrenaline much better.
Another update: After adjusting some settings in Adrenaline, I've largely removed the micro-stuttering problems I was experiencing in one game. It's not a complete fix, but the average FPS is now so high it's almost invisible. Everything else has performed perfectly. I haven't tried overclocking yet, but I'm really enjoying this card and didn't miss out on the $700 saved by skipping the 5080.
