Re: IO causing micro-stutters / mini freezes in all games. How to solve ?

Advice: 1) Forget about interrupts/IRQs/priorities and focus on disk access, including writing and reading speeds and latency. 2) SSDs become extremely slow when the disk is full (70% or more). Ensure this is not the case here. 3) Run a disk benchmark and ensure that your values are on par with onli...

Re: cs2 low cpu/gpu usage

Look at individual core usage with perfmon.

Re: Micro stutters in old games vs. overkill PC

For instance I tested SpecialK a few years ago in black mesa (~hl.2) using 9700k and it was a flat line.

Re: Micro stutters in old games vs. overkill PC

Some possible reasons: 1) Game trying to use a busy CPU thread. RGB software, scheduled tasks, buggy drivers, and other things could be causing load spikes in your core. Most are so fast that you hardly notice them in Afterburner but feel them. You can check it using Perfmon and the per-process CPU ...

Re: HUGE STUTTERS in every game...

Can you run Prime95 (small FTTs) and Ycruncher without trottle? Use HWInfo to check if the effective clock is the highest one and that there is no throttle reason.

Re: New finds in micro-stutter issue

Theory 1 sounds interesting. There is definitely something wrong with timings because during every gaming session I have a feeling that my PC is "dragging an anchor" and "chasing" the action on a server. I can clearly see that enemies' position is being adjusted all the time. My CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 58...

Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)

go with a higher refresh rate, 144hz is low for cs2 to run fluent nevertheless. Even 224fps cap is so so to handle fast moves, 260 at 280hz feels noticably better. Unfortunatelly, 360 or even 390hz is tricky to keep stable fps even at 7800X3D with beefy GPU. Its doable but you need to tune your PC ...

Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)

For those who suffer from 60hz feeling. TURN VSYNCC ON !!! in drivers, VSYNC + GSYNC + REFLEX + LLU (not needed as reflex overrides it automaticcally). All in drivers (NOT INGAME !!! INGAME VSYNC causes huge input lag as its SW and not HW vsync). Im surprised how many people still didnt learn this ...

While tweaking my overclocked system, I encountered micro-stutters and explored their cause. Scenario A : When all P-cores are set at 55, the performance is smooth. Scenario B : With 4 P-cores at 56 and 4 at 55, micro-stutters appear every a 2 seconds. In both scenarios, the system successfully pass...
