Anyone have a idea why I’m stuttering? Or choppy? My specs Gigabyte Radeon RX 6900 XT 16 GB 1TB SSD MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 Cpu Cooler-Deepcool AK620 Cpu-I7 12700KF 12- core Case-Phanteks Eclipse 5 fans- Artic P12 HDD- 2TB western Blue- 32GB of ram 2x16 GB ram 3600mhz Ripjaws sticks
I sent out my GPU for a RMA and they sent it back saying it was running fine, no drops etc but when I test it I get power drops and when that happens I get really bad performance my gou usage drops my cpu usage spikes making my performance awful. I’m on 2k res yes my BIOS is updated same with everything else

Power drops? How big is your PSU?

Could be psu related, have you checked event viewer to see if anything is in there?

I would recommend giving DDU a shot, will uninstall any video drivers and remnants, then try installing the latest manufacturer driver.

Yes DDU is always good - stuttering is usually not a hard hardware fault like insufficient power.

OK that should be fine.

#

What do you mean by power drops?

deft terrace Feb 1, 2023, 2:24 AM

#

Gpu power draw it doesn’t stay as consistent it should like it did with RMA people but when I test it it doesn’t

#

Which causes me to have bad performance

#

as in you are watching it on RivaTuner or something?

deft terrace Feb 1, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

This is the RMA people testing

chrome lily Feb 1, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

Ok and what are you seeing

deft terrace Feb 1, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

Dips to 140 and below

#

A lot of dropping spikes constantly

#

Temps normal? What's the load?
Record some of the badness with GPU-Z or Rivatuner

If you play games from the hdd, that could cause stuttering in some places.

#

read speeds from the hdd are like less than 10% compared to your nvme ssd.

deft terrace Feb 1, 2023, 9:34 PM

I tried games on my SSD

Same problem

What's your DRAM setup like? Is it installed in dual channel mode?

Also please elaborate on this: "but when I test it I get power drops"
