First thing I would do check temps on gpu make sure your below 80c hot spot will be 90s. So keep it 80s. If it’s hot either lower your clock and or voltage little by little. You can use furmark or heaven to adjust and check temps on the fly.
second. Lower your ddr ram speed about 500-600 m/t. Little studders most likely is ddr speeds to high.
thirdly CPU boost or clock is too high or cpu getting up to max temp and throttling down. You can do the same test like gpu but use cinebench to check on the fly. Use the ryzen master software and check your speeds. The auto OC and boosts are normally to high too.
fourth is cpu bottlenecking but normally that happens above 400fps. But an easy way to check is to just run your game in a higher Rez. Like 4k.
and also don’t use vsync. More issues than gains.. just my experience A word of caution. 1080p it should bottleneck at the cpu. You shouldn’t be anywhere near 1080p because the fps is so many the cpu can’t give out instructions fast enough.
what you can look at is your metrics Turn that on so it shows cpu usages and gpu memory temps usages while gaming. See what your usages and temps are while you feel the studders. Metrics is within the Adrenalin software. Try not to use the auto over clock there. It’s just a guess and normally to fast.
good metrics:
cpu usage below 50 percent
cpu temp below 70-80c
gpu usage 100 but locking frame rate will lower.
gpu temp 80c or lower remember hot spot will be up to 15c hotter.
memory usage amount of used ddr
fps 1% lows. Check this number too. You should only be dropping about 20 fps. Dropping 80-100fps something is getting in the way..
IF your unsure, take a few screen shots and post them. We will gladly help you out..
Don’t worry about trying to match screen hz with fps just yet. Get a good frame rate first with no input lag or tearing. It’s ok to go higher than your monitor hz. Everything I play is 300-400 fps but monitor is locked to 180hz. Super smooth.
300-400fps isn’t a high rate as your playing a game. For instance, if I get into a group of players the fps drops down to 220 or so. It want the extra frames as a buffer to keep it above your monitor hz. If that makes sense. I play mainly shooters so high frame rate and low frame ms time. My rigs Avg is 4ms for frame gen and 380fps with monitor locked 180hz.
