Stutter in games with high end system

I would stretch to the LG if you can for the higher refresh rate and the option of gsync and free sync ability.

I recommend a super flower psu

I've got the Dell S716dgb 1440p 144hz gsync monitor.

I tried super fetch but it's not in the services menu I'm on windows 1809

16 gig not 32 gig of ram, make sure you not swapping out due to lack of memory, probably not the case if no background stuff open, but check to be sure.

superfetch on mine only shows on the services when you do it thru ctrl alt delete > task manager > services

then find sysmain in the left hand pane and it should say prefetch in the next pane on the same line.

Apologies wrong thread!

Ok so I used doc latency checker and I had some latency spikes during some of the stutter but not all of it only some if the worst ones

No idea what that means

I feel your pain, I bought a 2080ti and experienced two days of woe troubleshooting.

Save yourself some aggro, grab a psu from the rainforest (superflower) and see how it goes. It will either fix your issue or identify cpu as the fault.

Cant get a super flower one so I've ordered a corsair HXi 1000 ro replace my rm850x which I will just return to amazon. The hxi is 80 plus platinum and seems like a really nice psu

I have never heard of a psu causing stuttering but I suppose its possible, if there is momentary lapses of voltage, I would expect a system lockup instead but if you ruled everything else out yeah try it and see.

I have the same view, I always thought if a psu is faulty the system wont boot or lock up under load but I dont know what else to try

Ironically I am seeing issues myself which I think may be psu related and just posted on it, in my case I think a weak pus is possibly disabling cuda cores, however it isnt causing stuttering just lower overall frame rate.

Good luck with your swap.

Thanks, annoyingly Amazon wont refund my psu as it's just out of the return window so instead I'm getting a straight swap

Is 850w enough for a rtx2080 and 9900k both overclocked?

Easily if it's a quality brand/model.

Hope it sorts the issue, I feel your pain.

If swapping the PSU doesn't help maybe try a clean install but don't change anything except install the latest graphics driver. I wonder if any Windows options you changed could be causing a problem.

steverebo · 21 Mar 2019 at 16:56

I've not really changed much in windows other than disabling background apps and privacy settings and tweaking appearance. All I have I stalled are:
Corsair icue (installed but keyboard and fans on hardware mode with app closed)
Gigabyte fusion lighting set app closed
Logitech ghub installed but not running
All my motherboard drivers

I run a pretty lite system with not much installed. Ive had a play of pubg today and again huge frametime spikes and frame drops at random some are quiet bad. I just want to game smoothly is that too much to ask

steverebo · 21 Mar 2019 at 23:30

Ok new psu installed and no change I still get random spikes where the fps will drop from 95 to 50 and straight back up. I've now ordered a 9900k but in all honesty I have no idea if this will fix it

fastboy · 22 Mar 2019 at 10:14

that's a bummer

did you stop the sysmain and prefetch services?

only other thing I can think to do is set bios back to default and delete the corsair,GB and Logitech programs,reboot and try again.

I seem to recall when I had the corsair rm1000i, icue was causing some lag issues for me,i think they patched it but at this stage might as well try for nothing.

Rubbish news, so basically everything has been replaced now bar the CPU?

Have you tried with G-Sync disabled? Sometimes this can cause stutter with some DP cables, regardless of their spec.
