some games stuttering with my 5700 XT

ShiWarrior · 20 Mar 2020 at 20:21

I need to check out more games

but having recently upgraded my GPU, some games struggle to run

for example,

Doom (2016) runs perfectly fine on Ultra

Watch Dogs 1 stutters on Ultra, and High detail

i noticed that when im browsing the internet on for example my GPU , games or whatever, im seeing a lot of " CPU is bottle necked"

could my CPU be the cause of stutters ?

i5 (skylake) 6600K with Prolimatech Megahalems Black + Arctic F12
5700 XT
16 Gb RAM
500 Gb SSD (NVmE)
27" 1080p 144 HZ monitor (AMD)

Thanks for the help

If I put an old GPU back in, would it help solve the issue? Because if yea, then my new GPU is having an impact on my CPU ?

Will try that, thanks

Full specs in sig, sorry if you cant see it, I'll update OP after work

Tried WD again with Task Manager up in front

CPU is only around 70% and the game is stuttering
GPU is no where near 100% either

Have you got Instant Replay on and if so what is set as it's buffer, System memory or Disk Storage?

For me Disk Storage causes stutter and when the buffer's my system memory I have to limit the length of time to around 10 minutes, any longer and that causes sutter, I've got 16gb's of storage memory but need more to set it beyond the ten minute limit.

Replay is off

Is that in the game or amd software?

Watch Dogs on Ultra doesn't seem to run great even on a 2080ti when the CPU isn't amazing

You can see it go down to 24fps at one point

Make sure you use SMAA and not TXAA

I'll give that a try, ty

I've been playing doom all evening, max detail on vulkan, no problems at all
CPU usage is around 40 , goes max 85%

what is vrr ?

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 11:26

tried Watch Dogs with :

1080p
60 fps
Medium Detail
Anti L etc OFF

Stutters, but less

GPU and CPU seem to have a high usage (around 80 %)

Overclock that 6600K you can get at least another 1 Ghz out of that chip. What cpu cooler do you have ?

i tried putting "game boost" on, FH4 stutters, made it unplayable, so i dont

CPU : Prolimatech Megahalems Black + Arctic F12

MSI Bios has a "game boost" button, overclocks the CPU to 4.2

ill try that, Thank you

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 12:27

Overclocked to 4.2 as per Video

Is my Memory Clock right ?
1500 MHZ?

should this be 3000 ?

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 12:37

XMP is enabled

ill benchmark first before trying 4.4

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 12:55

Your probably right

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 13:03

not sure how i can tweak Watch Dogs

as i said, ive set it to medium, 60 fps etc etc

Ran AIDA for over 10 mins, no problems @ 4.2 (55C)

EDIT//
over 20 mins stability test, no problems

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 13:51

Thanks

yep its off

im now running @ 4.5
temps i can get it down to 50C

happy with that so far

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 14:21

note the video date is 2014

ShiWarrior · 22 Mar 2020 at 16:37
