Always frame dropping..

[Zeebedy]

Hey guys,

tonight is CS, soon as my frames drop from a solid 144hz to anything below, i mean, very little, even 130-135 for that slit second, i get stuttering..

just the same as i was getting in BFV soon as the FPS dropped..but to happen in a fairly "undemanding" game like CS GO..?

Can someone give me some input?

im on a VEGA 56 and have latest drivers etc..

everything at stock? (apart from the VEGA undervolt).

 

[Zeebedy]

You using FRTC from the drivers to cap frame rate? You a Freesync Monitor?

sorry mate, whats FRTC? and i believe its a freesync monitor..but, i cant find the FS option?? only "adaptive snyc"? monitor is : Hannspree HG324QJB 32"

There could be quite a few reasons for this to happen. I would get some graphs going with something like afterburner to see what your pc is up too. I could be something silly like a MS update or a virus check going on. If you find out it’s not that have a look at your Cards temps to see if it is throttling.

Im sure my PC isnt updating as its even with the slight fps drop it happens.. and regarding the GPU, its peaking at 72c, and low fan speed and not 100% GPU load at any point..

thanks for the replies guys..

FS is turned on in the drivers software and i cap the games (BFV and CS GO) to 144hz in game..also im using a decent DP cable too. going to look in to your ideas now...

 

[Zeebedy]

to clarify, is adaptive sync the SAME as freesync? i think thats why its not working fully? its not FS or FS.2 etc...?

 

[Zeebedy]

here is the profile standard for CS GO?

 

[Zeebedy]

ok first you need to go into the global profile and enable 'chill' sorry missed that bit out previously. then come back to the profile and do as mentioned previously.

doing that now mate, what about AMD FreeSync, should it still be AMD optimised or put onto "on"?

 

[Zeebedy]

Also guys..why do I only have my Steam games in the AMD software? cant see Battlefield 5??

 

[Zeebedy]

You have to add them manually I think AMD forgot about other platforms.

managed to add.

also - i have set chill for CS to min / max 144/144

 

[Zeebedy]

Now give it a go and see how you get on.

quick question before i test..what do i do for a game like BFV that will not get constant 144 fps??

 

[Zeebedy]

Edit see shanklys post

i think i have v sync enabled in cs go. same applied there? should it be off too?

 

[Zeebedy]

@rip-the-jacker Give Enhanced-Sync a try also, set it global.

in the "wait for vertical refresh" tab??

 

[Zeebedy]

sweet. gonna test soon. I prey it helps!

thanks for all the input so far guys! its much appreciated!

 

[Zeebedy]

cheers guys! i dont know wtf is going on lol!

i juust joined a casual game, put the res up to 2K with the settings you told me too, and the game is NOT ONLY running buttery smooth with like a 1000 people on one server, get these stats!!

max gpu temp 60c odd PLUS no fan engaged / gpu useage around 40% / power draw around 40W / and my 1800X at arounf peak 43-44c

also to mention, im loling as my fps is not high and fluctuating all over the place and like i said is buttery smooth, more than the 144hz fixed fps before. im confuzzled!
