I can tell when my games become unstable because I'll load into a game and immediately when I start moving I get 1-2 frametime spikes. Theyre not massive spikes but they cause my game to microstutter wach time and it's very noticeable. Once I start moving and it happens I then get them when enemies shoot their guns, even if they're not on my screen, when I pick up a weapon, and periodically when walking around.
When my games are stable I dont get these frametime spikes. They happen in both Halo MCC and Splitgate. It doesnt feel like my whole game stutters, it feels like enemy players, projectiles, everything related to player models, interactable objects, etc. are what stutters.
So just curious, does anyone get these frametime spikes too?
Do you get frametime spikes too?

Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Re: Do you get frametime spikes too?
I do. Even in Chrome. Basically, I have stutters whenever textures/content is loading.
Now, one could argue it's normal, but I've noticed it happens too much for me personally. It happens even on websites where my old 2014 laptop with Celeron doesn't stutter when content is loading. I found out that it's RAM config affecting this but strangely I can't get it perfect, it's either worse or just better, but it stutters nevertheless. No idea what is causing this on my PC specifically. Maybe something in the BIOS, but nothing has helped yet.

Re: Do you get frametime spikes too?
Yes, I've noticed that too.
Re: Do you get frametime spikes too?
I have read that frametime spikes when loading assets is indicative of storage problems. I have noticed that in Event Viewer I get a ton errors and warnings everyday related to StorPort, which is a system file related to Storage. I am curious if either of you get similar events. Personally I get them on both of my PCs.
To find the events you have to go into Event Viewer and then in the left column you have to navigate to Applications and Services Logs, Microsoft, Windows, StorPort.

Re: Do you get frametime spikes too?
Yea. I get the warning 548's every couple minutes, but it seems that as soon as I close out my game they disappear, I think.amorou wrote: ↑14 Nov 2023, 00:13Event IDs:ImBIGJEFF wrote: ↑13 Nov 2023, 23:09I have read that frametime spikes when loading assets is indicative of storage problems.

It sounds like you guys have a hardware issue. Have you checked your drive's health?ImBIGJEFF wrote: ↑14 Nov 2023, 00:29Yea.

Re: Do you get frametime spikes too?
Yes I have checked both drives' health. They are both perfectly healthy. That is what's weird.

Reinstall Windows from scratch. I have no such errors and still have an input lag issue (heavy/icy mouse).amorou wrote: ↑14 Nov 2023, 10:13Did you tried different sata data cables , I got 4 of them but all +9 years old
