Windows 10: High end build, stuttering in every game

Looks like you have an interrupt issue. If no driver updates help, then check all your hardware connections. Check with the manual, what ports are shared and avoid such configurations where shared ports are used (move hardware to other port/plug). Also take a look at the BIOS/UEFI what configurations you have there. These kind of problems can be hard to track down.

Try disabling everything graphics related in BIOS/UEFI that is not NVidia GPU related, like onboard graphics etc...

Your issue could be as simple as having an USB mouse connected in wrong USB port. *Smile

 

I don't like the IRQ assignments of this MB.





UPDATE: To the OP, don't worry, Windows should automatically assign it's own IRQ table.

 

I have everything on MSI mode, I've seen there's a BIOS update.

Lowered all graphics settings to the minimum, disabled the V-Sync in game and the lag in unreal, the fps is ~140 stable but it's unplayable:

This is how the GPU usage looks like:




and the Frequency core turns downto 1519Mhz from 1920Mhz sometimes.

 

OMG! Yes that is horrible! Your IRQs are fine though ...hmmm...let me chew on this for a bit....

 

OK, here's one thing that could solve your issues.

Download latest ASIO4ALL driver, install it and reboot. I ALWAYS install this and rarely do I have any latency issues after that.

Let me know if it helped. If not, I might have some more ideas...given some time...

 

Humor us... try changing your Power Options from Balanced to High Performance and do some gaming. Let us know what happens?

 

Why do I need to install ASIO4ALL audio drivers?
I tweaked some BIOS settings: Disabled intel speedstep and set the PCIE speed to Auto, now the clock range of the GPU is 800-1922Mhz but this still haven't fixed anything. I've also did a clean boot without any service running, still stuttering.

 

I've already did that

 

Sometimes audio drivers can cause performance issues, especially in games.

And I see you said you tried my power management suggestion. Sorry that didn't work. The only other thing is to check what other tasks are running in the background by looking at Task Manager and checking what items are hogging resources.

 

Is this only happening when you play GTA V ON LINE, or is it also happening in story mode off line? If it's on line, ya, then maybe I can understand the stuttering getting even worse as you increase performance (lower graphics). My (stutter free) video was off line.

Our resident GTA V on line expert is Blackrose. Don't know if he would have advice for you. There are about 100,000 gamers playing GTA V on line on any given day. I'm sure you are aware of the huge number of search hits you get with a GTA V on line stuttering search, even within the last year. While troubleshooting the issue on your own, I would suggest following Rock Star's advice, especially the last paragraph re the support ticket to see what they say.

Every recorded video previously is from an offline session.
This is a screen showing how the GPU and tasks act when I'm playing:




When V-Sync is off the CPU barely hits 100% but when it's on it will raise up to 100% ever. Everything is done with the lowest graphics settings possible, I've also tried the Nvidia optimized ones, nothing changes.

 

It's not clear to me what V Sync on means in your case. Are you talking 144HZ or 60 HZ? Your CPU utilization at 100% is not a good thing. Look at my video. CPU load is in the 60%'s. Try limiting the FPS to 60 to see if that eases the CPU load and the stuttering.

I don't agree that most of these games are well optimized for PC. A few are, Doom 2016, BF1 maybe GOW4. Look at this video of the stutter fest this guy is experiencing in GTA V. Instead of playing with thread priority I would first see if capping FPS helps.

I'll try to be as clear as possible.
Every test I've made in GTA V till now (inlcuding those videos) were made at 144hz and for V-Sync off I mean this setting:





Now, I've set the refresh rate at 60Hz and disabled the VSync, stuttering every sec. The CPU stays at ~75%, I've tried alt-tabbing the game twice and for one time the CPU stayed at 100% till I alt-tabbed again and then got ~75% average.

Setting the refresh rate at 60Hz and enabling the VSync seems to fix the stuttering but it has an insane input lag and it's unplayable.

 

Yep, as I figured as that's the only scenario where you are capping FPS to 60. Thank Rock Star for poor CPU optimization and complain with a support request. See if they offer any help.
