I purchased an i5-10400 with an MSI 6600xt, paired with a 16GB 2666MHz CL16 (two sticks). In Warzone, especially on Caldera (the larger Battle Royale map), the game runs poorly with frequent stutters and lag. On Rebirth Island it performs smoothly. MSI Afterburner benchmarks show GPU usage between 80-95% and CPU around 50-70%, with all cores operating similarly and a 4000Hz clock speed. RAM usage is about 13GB. The main issue seems to be the difference in frame timing—Rebirth has consistent FPS while Caldera fluctuates. You mentioned trying VSync, FreeSync, borderless vs fullscreen settings, low FPS cap at 80fps, and downscaling to 720p, which helped reach around 125 AVRGs. What caused this variation and how can it be resolved?
I meant adjusting the resolution that way. Also experimented with low versus high settings, but the same problem persisted. The main issue at low settings is a bottleneck since GPU usage stays below 80%. By the way, I also tried Battlefield 1 and its frame times aren't consistent—somewhere in between, it feels smooth rather than fluctuating.
Usually the problem lies with the game itself and its memory usage. That’s why even players may need a 32GB upgrade.
Certainly! The first point refers to managing system resources effectively. Memory hog means your device uses up more RAM than necessary, which can slow things down. With your setup—i78700, CPU 3060, and 16GB RAM—the performance remains smooth because you're not exceeding the available memory.
Memory consumption refers to processes using up system memory. If the same configurations work elsewhere, the problem likely lies elsewhere. It might involve GPU drivers or optimization—optimizing games for a specific maker was common in the past and may still apply.
Forza titles remain tuned for AMD systems rather than nVidia, largely because the Xbox series over the last two generations relied heavily on AMD graphics. The Radeon 680m falls short compared to the 1050 in many games, but it still performs well—though I suspect this isn’t the main concern. Just a fun tidbit if you weren’t aware!
Hi, your setup is solid with 16GB RAM and an MSI 6600XT. The main issue seems to be frame rate and performance in games like Elden Ring, Warzone, and BFH. You've tried lowering FPS caps and resolution without success, and benchmarks show normal results. Consider checking for driver updates, ensuring your graphics drivers are up to date, and possibly testing with a different game or adjusting in-game settings further.
Hello, I purchased a gaming PC two weeks ago: an i510400 Hikvision 16GB 3200Hz CL16 (dual channel), MSI 6600XT BX500 with 1TB Crucial SSD, Hikvision 1TB NVMe Cooler Master Gold 700W case featuring four fans. During testing, games such as Warzone, Elden Ring, and Fortnite experienced stuttering. Further checks revealed high frame rates above 100 at 1080p, but frame times were extremely slow—ranging from 8 to 40ms, particularly in Warzone and Fortnite. CPU utilization reached 70% on the MSI afterburner. Other titles like Tomb Raider and God of War performed better. I attempted various online fixes (limiting FPS to 80, lowering resolution, reinstalling Windows and GPU drivers, installing C++ packages), but none resolved the issue. Eventually, I swapped the NVMe drive for a Crucial BX500 SSD and upgraded the MSI 6600XT to Power Color 6600XT. When playing Warzone at a gaming lounge with an i7 8700K 3060, it ran smoothly. My main concern is whether the Hikvision RAM or the BIOS motherboard contributed to the problem and might need replacement as well. Or was it primarily a software issue?
