Stuttering at 3090 units
Here’s a rephrased version of your text:
Hello everyone, I’m facing some issues with my new 3K dollar PC build. At first, I thought the problem was with my graphics card since LatencyMon indicated an NVIDIA driver issue and I experienced severe stuttering while gaming. I assumed my GPU was faulty, but even after removing it and switching to integrated graphics, latency problems persisted in LatencyMon. I’ve been troubleshooting for days, but nothing seems to work. All my 3K USD investment is wasted. I’ve tried everything—enabling re-bars, updating firmware, installing different drivers, updating BIOS, disabling reduce latency windows, and even running a fresh Windows install with XMP1 enabled and default settings. Still no improvement.
The specs are: GIGABYTE AORUS Z690 ELITE AX DDR4 32GB RGB DDR4, Gigabyte AORUS MEMORY I9 12900K, Gigabyte AORUS AIO 360MM WATER COOLED (removed in a test phase), Gigabyte 850W PSU.
Is this affecting game performance? This tool focuses on live sound processing. The mention of latency highlights the need for precision in real-time audio work. The reported 1.2 µs latency is minimal and not a concern for typical gamers. If you're involved with real-time audio, watch for over 200 ms delays—those are worth addressing.
Never reaching zero latency is impossible. You're either facing a real problem or aiming for perfection. Clarify what counts as "very high" latency. What results are you anticipating, and why do you hold those expectations?
You're facing significant performance problems while gaming. The initial smooth run followed by GPU stuttering and dropping FPS suggests issues with real-time audio processing and overall system responsiveness. Latency monitoring might help identify further bottlenecks, but it could also confirm your concerns about real-time tasks.
This situation is unlikely to stem from the problem you're thinking about. As mentioned before, real-time computing isn't what games rely on. You probably are targeting the wrong aspect here. Focus on how the tool tracks latency in microseconds—usually you don't need to worry about it at that level. Latency becomes significant only when it reaches milliseconds, which is 1000 times larger. Even the largest recorded latency of 12,000 µs equals 12 ms. The present latency is merely 0.019 ms. To diagnose game performance issues, use software like MSI Afterburner and monitor GPU and CPU usage along with temperatures while playing. If your system stutters, it could be due to inadequate cooling or the GPU lowering its clock speed to compensate.
The temperature readings before and after the initial ten seconds are available. The games being played vary, with some demanding more GPU power than others. Real-time audio does not directly affect frame rate.
i am checking gta5 and re4, it seems both games require a lot of gpu power. The phrase "and other tasks" made me suspect my system had some gpu lag problems. After further testing, my gpu core temperature stayed around 65°C, memory at 70°C, and the hotspot reached 70°C before and after the stuttering began. gpu usage dropped to half once it started using more gpu power. I’m using an evga ftw3 ultra 3090 with a custom loop. When installing the gpu block, the LR22 VRM chips didn’t have any cooling fans. The manufacturer said it wasn’t necessary since they don’t get that hot. I think overheating was the cause of the stuttering, so I’m planning to use an air cooler instead. After trying the air cooler, the issue persisted. I then switched to a 1000w psu, but that didn’t help either. I’ll perform a clean install of windows and reinstall drivers next.
I resolved it by upgrading Windows on my Samsung 980 Pro M.2 before. Before that, it ran on a poor old Toshiba drive, which made games lag and slowed down the whole system. Every time I tried to launch an app, it felt sluggish. Once I switched to the SSD, everything became much faster and responsive. Thanks for all the advice!
