After finally (mostly) quieting the coil-whine on my 7900XTX by swapping power supplies I have one final thing that bothers me and I can't seem to find anyone else that shares this issue.
When booting up games sometimes my framerate starts out really choppy and low (like ~20 fps) and after waiting a couple seconds it will suddenly fix itself and run without issues. It isn't limited to one game but most apparent in Hogwarts Legacy. Sometimes when swapping between large areas (Hogwarts to Hogsmeade) it'll occur again. It almost seems as if the GPU hasn't finished "preparing" or something.
I play with Freesync on, anti-lag and FRTC. I've tried playing around with these settings but it didn't achieve anything. I'm running my Hellhound 7900XTX stock OC.
Other specs:
- Gigabyte AURUS B550 ELITE V2
- 5800X3D
- Ripjaws 2x16GB @3600mhz
- Seasonic Vertex GX-1200
Is there anyone that can at least explain why this is happening? I wouldn't mind as much but I'm still in the return window and I'm worried there's something wrong with the card. My friend who has a 7900XT Hellhound has no such issues (same mobo/CPU).
Also no temp issues or whatever, both cpu and gpu are running well within limits so it's not throttling (especially since it runs like a dream after the initial issues)
