It's just me right? Or does this happen to everyone?

I honestly don't get it.

I have a tendency to build a PC, get annoyed by it, sell it, buy a console, then a few months later build another pc thinking the experience is going to be different.

This has happened 3 times now.

My first build was a 9700k, RTX 2080TI, Seasonic Focus Plus 850W platinum, decent motherboard, decent ram etc with an Acer X27 "G Sync Ultimate" monitor.

My second build was a 5800x, RTX 3080 & RTX 3090, same PSU, decent motherboard, decent ram with a Odyssey G9.

My third and current build is an ITX 5600x, RTX 3060TI, Corsair SFX 750W, B550i gaming, 16gb ddr4 3600mhz ram, 2 x 1TB SSD blah blah, with a Dell AW2721d "G Sync Ultimate" monitor.

All third builds have had a common problem.

Stuttering. I have done countless windows rebuilds.

Sometimes its fine. Sometimes its crazy bad. I was just playing Hitman 3, and it would average about 140fps.. and sometimes drop down to 6fps. I've experienced this on all three builds, and im starting to believe that despite all the technologies, g sync, v sync, PC gaming is just like this.. full of stuttering.

I honestly don't know what to do.

I have followed all the guides.. amending nvidia control panel settings, turning on resize bar, game mode on.

I'm not overclocking except for XMP. I'm not installing anything except drivers.. this was on a fresh windows 10 build.

What do I do? I feel like this cycle is going to happen again and again. >_< help me please. What am i doing wrong?

Temps are fine btw, 70 degrees.
 
All of those build are far more powerful than my pathetic ( in comparisson ) 980 ti / i5-8600K

But i play Hitman 3 and it is smooth with no stuttering.

Maybe the monitors are too fancy for their own good, try a more basic monitor at 1440p instead maybe.
 
Random question, are you using a controller over Bluetooth? Had similar in F1 games when using a controller and fixed by using the proper dongle instead of Bluetooth.

Thought I'd ask as you say you switch from PC to console so maybe you are using a controller.

Also could you list a few more games you have problems with? DX 12 and Nvidia have high CPU overhead I believe.
 
All three of those builds should play games with no problems, were there common USB devices? Are you really installing nothing (e.g. no discord, skype, etc)?

There was a weird thread on here recently that it was windows background changing :o

I'd install some kind of process monitor.

Exactly and that setup will play all the latest titles very easily.
 
At the moment it is stuttering on CS Go. That is usually the only game i could play without stuttering on the first two builds.

This is an intermittent thing as well. Sometimes its fine. Sometimes its not. I dont get it at all.

Unless you prevent it manually, Wintoys might force install some buggy drivers.

DPC latency might tell if it's some driver bugging.

You can leave that running on background while gaming and then check results if problem appeared.

Process explorer has CPU usage history graphs, in case some process is spiking.

I must be doing something wrong right. Three separate builds and all have the same problem.

Latency monitor conclusion was fine. Its a fresh build, there shouldn't be any issues.

Feel like calling a pc repair guy out. That's how bad its gotten, and I've been building pcs since I was like 10.
 
Are you using display port or hdmi. If hdmi make sure it's a hdmi 2.1 cable. Try ddu uninstalling all nvidia drivers and then reinstall.
 
I was getting weird stuttering on my system for a long time, running at 3440x1440@120hz. Hard to explain but the frame rate did not feel smooth or consistent.

just about the last thing I tried was ditching the packed in the box DisplayPort cable and getting a decent vesa certified DisplayPort 1.4 cable and it completely fixed it.

No controller. Literally just keyboard and mouse.

Literally nothing. Steam, Epic Games and Battle Net, Chrome and drivers.

The same keyboard and mouse or different ones? No wireless adapter or external drives?

Do you have all of these open while gaming?

No i specifically close all apps when running a game.

Same keyboard and mouse, comes with the Bluetooth adapter. As barebones as you can get.
