Please Help Me Solve My Long Lasting Stutter Problem

Another thing that comes to mind. My PC isn't plugged straight in to the wall socket. It's plugged in to an extension lead which is then plugged in to the wall. Would that cause any issues? Just trying to think of everything now!

could try plugging the pc directly into the wall to rule out a bad extension cable.

All I can describe it is a hitch/microstutter that lasts a milli-second but it's in every game I've tried which are:

DayZ
Delta Force
Fortnite
Arena Breakout
Stalker 2
Once Human
PUBG

It can't be a coincidence that all of them have the same problem?

It doesn't dip from saying 240fps to 30fps. It'll dip from 240 down to like 190 for example resulting in a tiny stutter.

I've tried all sorts in the BIOS, disabling ftpm for example. All types of combinations of GSync and VSync. Mouse polling rates. Every guide I can find on YouTube. Fresh Windows install. DDU the drivers.

I'm just so frustrated.

How is the performance in well optimised single player games?

My experience in those large open world multiplayer games is limited to PUBG and DayZ but they were both terribly optimised.
 
Plugged in at the wall and made no difference.

Just to explain what I'm experiencing a bit more. It's almost like the frame skips for a millisecond and goes in slow motion. Maybe it's best to record some footage so you can see what I'm actually on about?
 
i'd dig out the power adaptor from the gpu box and run that with 8 pin pcie cables from your psu, if its the same i'd look at a new psu from the rainforest, at least if its the same after you can return it easy. then have to look at other components as a problem. I know what you mean with the micro stutter, its very annoying for sure
 
Could probably use presentmon to see/show/capture
what's going on
But it wouldn't explain why
Still stuck with double checking hardware by
Replacing one thing at a time
 
Have you installed your chipset drivers from the mb vendor? I left my install on windows drivers etc for some components but performance was better with vendor's drivers.
 
So since I last posted I installed a new CPU and the problem still persists. The power cable from power supply is directly plugged in to my 4090 as well so no adapters.

I haven't got Geforce Experience downloaded @Personality+ as I read it can cause issues.
 
do the frame drop issues stop if you lock your fps to 144hz?, i uninstalled the nvidia app and got a good 10-15fps increase in stalker 2 :)

I can lock it to anything and it'll still do it. I've tried doing it through Nvidia and Riva Tuner.

When you say Nvidia app do you mean the control panel?

control panel has been replaced with the nvidia app, from driver 566.36 the app gets installed and is used as default, you can still get to the older control panel if you right click on desktop, with regard to the frame drops still happing even if you lock it, i would pay attention to the following GPU, PSU and Drives, be sure to update all drivers and make sure windows if fully updated, when you do play a game make sure the very least amount of background programs are running, as having too much stuff open in the background can hurt performance too. (NEVER use windows insider builds either, they are full of bugs, after all your the beta tester for windows if you do use it)

So may have missed something
Have you tried windows 10 if you're running 11?
Or tried linux (Ubuntu etc)
Just to try to clear up if its software or hardware issue

Tom's hardware just released something about nvidia app
Causing performance issues
Though don't think it was stuttering
More a fps overall drop
Though you may not have nvidia app installed anyway

Edit
Windows 11 preview on one of my drives
No issues like mentioned on it

Weird as I don't have anything called Nvidia app and I'm on that driver?
It wouldn't be that anyway as it's been a long lasting problem.

I haven't gone back to Windows 10 no.
What do you mean Windows 11 preview?

Windows insider program
Let's you test preview versions of operating systems
Before they are released to the public
As wookiee87 said sometimes there can be issues
That's why the preview program exists
Insiders report problems to Microsoft
Preview builds see extra features first
But not recommended to use as your main OS

By this point definitely would try 10 or Linux
Other option find a forum member near you with similar hardware
Who can double check yours
 
I even installed an old single player which is not taxing at all on my system - Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and that still stuttered and was choppy.

Spend over 2.5k on a system and this is the experience I get. So disheartening.
