The game is freezing and I don’t understand what’s happening
The game is freezing and I don’t understand what’s happening
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.6GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 RAM: 16GB 3200MHz After enabling XMP in the BIOS about two weeks ago, my performance in Warzone has suffered. Latency spikes above normal, frames drop to half their intended rate, and the game stutters every ten seconds. Task manager shows RAM and CPU usage near maximum. I attempted to revert XMP but it didn’t help. Recently, booting up Warzone gives me smooth playback—low latency, steady 140-150fps, no stutter. Once the first game ends, frames stabilize at around 70fps, latency drops to 57ms, and stuttering becomes rare. During the initial session, CPU and RAM usage remained normal. I’ve tried several online fixes without success; I’m running out of options. Please assist! Edited September 18, 2021 by Mohamadreda
Typically folks avoid downloading files without a solid purpose. To keep your thread tidy, just drop the text into a spoiler or use an online service people know, such as Pastebin or Google Docs. It’s easier that way.
You might also want to check for background processes with Task Manager or Process Monitor, which can help spot anything unusual. Sometimes updates—whether from software, games, or drivers—can cause performance drops later on.
It might be due to updates or an accidental adjustment by you. This game is quite demanding on the CPU, using around 75% of my 3600 regularly, which suggests it could be limited by processing power. You could attempt resetting the CMOS and lowering the settings as much as possible—though it may not help much if it's CPU-bound, it’s worth trying. Running an anti-virus or malware scan is also recommended.
You're asking about the purpose or goal of something you're examining. Could you clarify what you mean by "this"? I need more context to provide a helpful answer.
Automated background scans are available even without third-party antivirus tools such as Kaspersky, BitDefender or Malwarebytes. Windows Defender itself performs these scans automatically. I’ve already explained how to verify this using Task Manager or Process Monitor. If you notice the overlay showing 100% CPU usage, check which process is consuming the most resources—possibly a game or another application using around 25% of your CPU. Additionally, your thermal readings aren’t shared here; you might be throttling performance.
Yeah, I’m not sure about the exact CPU comparison—Intel doesn’t support multi-threading, right? I’d think the game shouldn’t run at full capacity. It’s still a good idea to run an AV check and verify TaskMaster performance.
