stuttering in games

the same is happening now in RD2 - the game gets these random lows down to like 50fps. is this my ram being to slow with a CAS 40?

I'd suggest you run some score based benchmarks on your CPU and graphics card to check 100% that your system is performing correctly, because it's really hard to know what exactly you're referring to ('stutter' means completely different things to different people).

Is a 4090 a monster at 4K and a capable card even with everything turned on (including ray tracing)? Yes. Will a 4090 never dip below 60 fps in the latest games/updates? No. The 4090 does come bloody close, but no graphics card has mastered 4K with RT yet (nor have the game engines, tbh).
 
Ye I did time spy and I got an above average score for my hardware. I’m confused though cause RD2 there is no ray tracing and it’s dipping below 60fps and that’s when it stutters on there as well…
Just don’t feel I should be getting the stutters from the fps drops….
 
Okay so I had to replace my cpu as there was an issue in it. Didn’t seem to change performance as switched for a 13900kf and j am still experiencing the random fps drops.

What is normal amount of stutter. For example spider man might stutter once ever 5 minutes is this normal? Farcry seems okay at 60fps locked but still occasional stutter.

What do we class as normal regarding the amount of stutter. My games are not just stuttering all of the time it’s every few minutes or so I get one fps drop. Cpu usage on 1 of the cores reached 85 percent during gameplay which I think is normal???

It’s starting to drive me insane though as I just expected flawless gameplay to be honest all the time

Hello,

I actually did a time spy test today on 3D mark and my score was good at 32536.

Cheers

On a hard drive and a slow SSD, it's fairly normal to get occasional stutter while things are loaded, especially at the start of a level, for example. But, what you're describing sounds more common than what I'd expect.

I am using 980 pro SSD so things seem to be fine with that regard. I don’t get it when loading into a level it’s when the fps suddenly drops lower it stutters. I have completely rebuilt the pc with all new components so I genuinely so confused…

How normal are stutters just during game play. Please note they are like microstutters not huge freezes

Have you checked the event viewer for disk errors and ran a full scan via Samsung magician?

During normal gameplay, if you're using settings that the computer can handle reasonably well, then I'd expect to see very few, but it does depend on the game & the engine, some games are more prone to hitches than others.

So I actually just put another SSD in from gigabyte that was the same spec and I still encountered the issues. That’s how I rules out a faulty SSD and yes I have ran Samsung magician and it all came back normal.

Would you say I should not be putting everything on ultra at 4k?

Well, you're more likely to encounter issues (fps drops), yes, but it is hard to say for definite what's normal, because it really depends on the game and then it can even depend on specific things, like levels, number of players, particular effects on the screen, etc.

My 3DMark score seems pretty normal as well Right? Cpu is only at 60-70 degrees when gaming as well!
 
thanks for the reply.

i am actually on windows 11 already so this is why its so strange. basically i notice some of the CPU cores reaching 100% when gaming... not sure if this is normal but i get this awful stuttering when it happens. has anyone got a suggestion or solution to this?

thanks

The real question here is why are you reaching 100% with your CPU. It doesn't surprise me at all that things are falling apart when you do.

Just throwing this in the mix, is it simply that this is a natural bottleneck of your CPU and you are just trying to drive the frame rates too high? The GPU is fine but your CPU is not? The 4090 is known for the fact that it out performs even the best current CPU's.

It's not your cable, by the way, if you exceed the limits of that you just get black screens.
