is it happening in multiple games and is the cpu fine?

left vault
#

so its not one of the ones with issues

sturdy flax
#

but the things is the fps is above 100 and stays decent

#

and yes the cpu seems to be having no problems

fickle iron
#

have you tried to set a frame cap?

# fickle iron have you tried to set a frame cap?

I feel so dumb for not trying this earlier. It seems to be working, but it has happened before then stopped stuttering for a bit then happened again so hoping this actually stops it. Thank you so much!

Great

#

might be a psu issue then

#

what psu do you have

sturdy flax
fickle iron
#

hm, that shoud be fine

#

my thought was the really high utilization might get close to the psu limit but I dont think a 500w psu would be a problem here

sturdy flax
#

idk much about pcs but could be like an issue of not enough power or something sorry if im completely off

#

from like out of the computer or a cable

fickle iron
#

yeah, that was my thought

#

the psu is kinda old tho it might not handle the power spikes of 30s series and onward

sturdy flax
#

Is there any way you can test this? Dont want to spend 100euros for it to not work.

fickle iron
#

I dont know if you can test this without another psu

#

btw you shouldnt need to spend a 100 bucks you can get good ones for quite a bit less

sturdy flax
fickle iron
#

yeah

sturdy flax
#

yea ill look into it might be able to get one from my friend

fickle iron
#

you could also probably return it if it doesnt work

sturdy flax
#

yea in latvia you cant return anything almost the companies are too greedy

#

well i could order online

fickle iron
#

thats what i meant

#

but if its fixed for now there is no real rush

sturdy flax
#

yea youre right thanks for the help you are an awsome person

fickle iron
#

thanks

I have a corsair rm650x that should be great, for about 80 but really any newer 650w one frome a reputable brand should do

sturdy flax
fickle iron
#

this one is a bit cheaper and should be fine as well

sturdy flax
#

Yea the price isnt that bad thanks for the 100th time. Was thinking I would maybe need a new gpu or something hope i wont

fickle iron
#

yeah lets hope it really was the psu

#

although now that i look int it furthrer maybe dont get that cooler maste one they semm to have some qc issues

sturdy flax
#

sure ill look into it if the ocasion comes im sure theres plenty of guides for this
