My games are stuttering
Hello guys, I bought a new pc and i started to play a few games. The games i already played were Team Fortress 2 and Assassins creed Odyssey. I mentioned that every few minutes the game starts stuttering and the fps get down which destroys my fun i have with those games. My hardware consists of AMD 7, GeForce RTX 3060, my mainboard is B550Mx/e pro and i run the operating system windows 10. I already installed the driver for my GPU and it automatically updates drivers. I also did the BIOS update to fix this problem but nothing changed.
Anyone an idea what problem should get fixxed?

INTEGRATED VIDEO By CPU model / Supports DX12 / Supports HDCP

Look like the IGPU issue, try turn it off.

Turn off your integrated gpu in the bios. (also make sure your monitor isn't lel connected to the integrated gpu)
If not fixed.
How much ram do you have, if it's just within the rec specs, try increasing your min page file to account for os needs and game ram needs together.


Specs wise you should be able to run Odyssey as an example fine on max settings, no idea about higher than 1080p res, if it can hit vram limits, minus the unknown ram amount and page file amount.

No you dont increase cache or page or virtual mem, its over the old setting then you have 16gb ram system or more, and SSD as boot disk.

And no you let MS handle it automatic on boot disk only, that mean you turn it or on multidisk build pc.

This is from one of the many tester that been post and most dont even want to bother with it, whats next time more fiddle with size, forget its a neverending possibility and you dont solve anything dump at disk so it has to reload it and handle it again , you only increse lag, and turn it off if you have more then 16gb ram is also lost in performance, its so well tested by other that its a waste of time to even try it. ( make sure your disk have enough free room is nothing new here, maybe OP has near full disk, that mean lost performance, another well known issue by steam user even.

old pc tips is outdate in fiddle with it's ms settings on cache issue

gl with it OP.

Wrong.

Here are some actual facts that I've experienced myself. You can't change the reality of my experience.

If you don't have enough ram, your game can either start to stutter or just plain crash like with not having enough video ram, and virtual ram can help with that.

Also when you use the page file you don't increase lag, I had before 16GB ram and used 20GB min/max page file, and got myself 32GB more ram, and literally no difference in performance or loading speeds, and that was in Jedi Survivor.
Also it doesn't increase lag because system files go first into the page file, when you're playing the game it will fill the ram first, system stuff background stuff will be pushed into the virtual ram, then maybe your game will start using it.
Mind that my windows 10 on boot up uses 7-8GB ram, so if a game has recommended specs for 16GB or more, you have to actually account for what the system/OS also needs.

As an example in Marvel's Spider-Man when I had 16GB ram, and forgot my system page file aka virtual ram to system managed my game kept crashing on any higher setting than lowest settings, either when launching the game or when in the game itself telling me I don't have enough vram.
When I set the page file min and max to 15GB, I could run the game on max settings without a single crash, also setting the min too low even with 15GB max, will still cause crashing as it's not fast enough.
Also I have the game on nvme, and my page file on ssd. Also I have enabled rapid mode on my ssd, so it can go with it's caching techniques up to 7600MBps (without rapid mode it's around 500MBps), while my nvme at max is only 3500MBps.

Stop spouting nonsense if you don't know anything.

But yeah most likely his issue is that he is using integrated gpu instead of a desktop gpu.

There are not many choices for stuttering and low fps after playing a while. Do some research before you make a comment.

we dont care what you say here hardware matter, and all that has pc know that any cache data can and will lead to bottleneck. if your pc is strong enough even a casual gamer pcdont need cached data increased. ( thats was old pc 8gb lesser issue.

no top-end gamer pc need that anymore.

we already know you , according to you hardware dont matter, its here we all disagree with you.

what you talk about is 10 year old pc advice.


if you dont have enough ram, then we dont care, 8gb pc is dead on gamer that require 8gb
steam already have game that need 16gb ram because thats game requirements,

plz dont insult us here , noone in right mind buy a pc with under 16gb ram, its more soon more then that.

plz go read old poat if you have under 16gb, this topic is outdate already then we dont even know what OP has, but with that spec i doubt he dont have 16gb ram.

with RTX 3060 , even that tell if that pc is not born with 16gb+ ram, it wont make any sense.

Hey, i have 16 gb ram in my pc. The IGPU is already disabled. Furthermore i played Team Fortress on my old pc where it went fluenty. My old pc hat 2 gb VRAM and 8 gb RAM but also
an i7 CPU. Assassins creed Odyssey i played it on my brothers pc and he has an older version of my video card if i remember it correctly. So it should definetly work on my pc i guess - Thanks so much for help, what else can i do?

Sounds more like an overzealous anti virus program running in the background, or some other bloatware program, that is causing the system to stutter occasionally rather than a hardware shortfall.

So what should i try out next? Could it also be possible that the problem could be the internet connection? Although i have a Lan connection to my switch?

stuttering can literally be a hundred things

1. Check your temperatures, anything that gets to warm while gaming?
2. does your GPU get enough power?
3. did you mess with the settings for overclocking?
4. you have 1 or 2 screens if you have 2 turn one off for the moment to see if that solves it.
5. check your RAM, your 16GB should be enough, check how much is dedicated to where. and if you put the sticks in the right ports. look in the manual of your Mobo what are the correct slots.
6. Is you PSU up for the task, peaking in the voltage can cause stutters through the system
7. check your storage, if it's nearly full this will cause problems, if you have put an old storage device in your new PC and you run your steam from this older storage you can experience stuuter.
8. make sure that all your hardware is up to date
9. like it's said before make sure the system is running on the GPU and not internal.

And I can go on for a while, explaining here is to difficult as i'm not in front of the PC.

Good luck and please post back here if you found the solution.

yes this is also an option.

turn of your anti-virus and see if that solves it. or look in your task manager what program is using a lot of resoiurces

Try safe boot mode then, also make sure you dont load a things not needed doing test phase.
( google it if you dont know how to access it in win10 )

gl with it op.

Have you update the IGPU driver before you turn it off ( this is not a joke )
you dont want old outdate system entry from IGPU , many forget its still onboard device,
they can sometimes cause system issue, then it should not do so then turn off.

I recall old past system ! exclamation point of unknown device can do such. under device manager, maybe enable it again update it and turn it off again. ( just to be sure )

So i checked a few things. First i turned off the anti virus programm but this have not fixxed the problem. I turned down the video quality to the lowest but this also have not fixxed the problem. The task manager shows the GPU temperature round about constant 60 +- 3 degrees. I have not messed with overclocking. I only have 1 screen, RAM is dedicated right, I have my new ssd card and have not put my old storage in my pc. Hardware is new, and my device manager shows only 1 graphic card and not an internal. With PSU and power (2,6) I am not sure and i do not know how to check it. My power adapter is from sharkoon and named wpm GOLD ZERO 750 w.

Op might not know last few month issue its seen that cable and some harddisk need firmware update, some even have disk issue with performance and new disk solve it,

I did not say you have this but you should know what other steam user has solve with spare disk as test. ( most prvat user dont have extra disk ) but now you know.

Don't worry about PSU, this should be enough unless you have a lot hooked up not mentioned before.

Ok I have one more, it sounds stupid but I had a problem in my company before also with stuttering in the system en it turned out be a faulty USB connection. simple way to check unplug all USB devices, only put you're mouse and keyboard in. preferably different ones. and trying different USB slots.

If you by chance running Corsair's ICUE software? or any other lighting software. these programs are notorious for causing trouble especially when 2 different lighting software try to run at the same time. I had this problem on my game PC. ICUE and MSI couldn't work together and eventually the PC just froze.

I hope you'll figure this out and i'm very curious, so please if you find the solution, share it with us

I think I am not running any lightning software, at least I don't know what that is. I have not tries that connection stuff yet but don't get me wrong, I don't think that this will be the point to be honest xD. I'm really suffering because I want to play such like a normal player without any struggles..
