Strange shaking while playing video games?
Description Hi, I need assistance with my recent problem. In some games (especially Dying Light 2, Detroit Become Human) I have a problem with sudden frametime spikes (?). In the case of Detroit, the problem occurs at specific times, while in Dying Light 2 simply along with movement, the same thing happens in the built-in benchmark. From the indicators I can't read any unknown aberrations. When frametime goes up then GPU clocking and GPU memory clocking go down, while CPU goes up. All temperatures, voltages are normal. The computer passed stability tests in furmark, 3D Mark, Memtest86. No problems detected. Benchmark scores are also within the norm: AS SSD, 3D Mark (Time Spy Extreme, Storage Benchmark), Cinebench R23. LatencyMon did not indicate anything. All test sequences were executed with minimal background applications. I started noticing the problem around the time I replaced the drives - from an Adata Gammix S11 Pro to a Lexar NM790 and using a Thermalright contact frame. Then I installed a clean Windows 11 Pro - stable channel. Before that, I was running Windows 11 Pro on the beta channel. Detroit Become Human problems preview What is weird is that after reloading the scene, this moment runs smoothly. The problem will recur after restarting the game. This repetitiveness and the lack of a problem the second time the scene was loaded suggested to me a problem with the shader cache (??). Please help. I have run out of ideas. 🙁 First troubleshooting attempts On this clean installation of Windows 11 Pro, depending on several consecutive Windows "quality" updates, the problem worsened or waned. It never went away. I control-installed Windows 10 Pro (disabling E cores due to lack of communication with Thread Director) and the problem was then the least, but it still existed. I checked to see if the contact frame was causing a lack of contact with the pins. I checked if the problem occurs on new, moderately old and very old AMD Radeon drivers. The rest of the things I tried -UEFI update/downgrade; -re-seating GPU; -clean GPU driver install; -RBAR On/Off; -XMP On/Off; -CPU OC On/Off; -Freesync On/Off; -MPO On/Off -Game Bar Off; -Game mode On/Off; -Elevating games priority via Task Manager; -etc... I don't remember more than that. In total, I troubleshot for ~~30h on my days off per month.

Hey there! Have you cleared out the CMOS every time you did a BIOS update? If not, it might be worth trying now just to be safe. Did any weird stuff happen right after installing Windows 11? Since both things are in beta or early testing, they're probably buggy. You'd need to install the regular consumer version just to make sure everything is fine. Was your old hard drive connected while you did the new install on the new one?
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. When I update or downgrade UEFI, it wipes things automatically. But after I manually reset it and still see no changes, this setup worked really well on W11 Beta for two years with Gammix S11 Pro drives. Moving to W10 was just to test. Now I'm using stable W11 without any changes. The old drive isn't connected; only Lexars were attached during the install. Normally, it's probably the drives causing the problem because something weird happened right before the upgrade. On the other hand, Crystal Disk Info shows no errors in AS SSD or 3D Mark, and the storage speeds look normal. It's tough for me to blame the drives since everything runs fine in Windows file operations.
