Game stuttering and frametimes (latency mon report)

Game stuttering (latency mon report)

I am going to copy a post I made on other sites, just so you get an idea of what I did. I have found this issue in latency mon Attached file)

[FONT=&quot]

My frame times are all over the place and there is seemingly no reason or nothing I can do about it. They do not correlate to my frame rate, nor do they make ANY sense.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I began having stutter/hitch issues in everything a few months ago. I did an insane amount of troubleshooting before throwing in the towel and buying all new hardware. The stuttering is worse in Open world titles and also with video.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]My frame times are terrible in everything as seen here. This is taken from a few minutes in scum, but it's the same story in every title, minus less demanding ones like Rainbow Six.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Frametime (spikes are stutters): [/FONT]Imgur: The magic of the Internet

[FONT=&quot]Gpu temp and power is fine: [/FONT]Imgur: The magic of the Internet

[FONT=&quot]Core clocks are stable: [/FONT]Imgur: The magic of the Internet

[FONT=&quot]Cpu temps are fine: [/FONT]Imgur: The magic of the Internet

[FONT=&quot]Yet I still have terrible frame times. I have replaced all of my hardware except the Motherboard and Psu (which was changed earlier this year). I did try a new Mobo, but with my older components, to no avail so I reverted back to my old one. I put the new CPu, and Gpu and Ram in the old one again (having ruled it out as a problem), so maybe it is killing something crucial off?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]None of the Hardware shows any sign of problem that I can tell while monitoring, such as High temps, voltage issues, clock dips etc. The issue is widespread and affects all title and videos.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I have done 100+ hours of troubleshooting[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]So far I have.[/FONT]

1. Changed all of my PC components (to an i7) Psu, RAM, SSD, Cables, 4 different Gpu's including two 1070's. Tried a different MOBO, but it didnt change so placed new components into my old mobo.
   1. Tried every different combination of windows settings, optimisation I can think of.
   2. Tried multiple different fresh windows versions on different drives.
   3. Installed only basic software.
   4. Changed Bios settings and profiles, tuned of iGPU
   5. Looked at temps, voltages and profiles.
   6. Tried about 10 different Nvidia drivers
   7. Lowered graphical options and other settings like Sync
   8. Ran many tests like userbenchmark, furmark, prime95, passmark uni engine (which stutters too)
   My frame time graphs are always all over the place, even with a locked fps, that doesn't drop, the frame time will shoot up to 200-500 all of the time.

[FONT=&quot]It's a complete mystery, it's been over 6 months of wasted time so far, I'm about to completely give up.[/FONT]

Hi johndole25,

Are you overclocking the CPU? If so, please undo any overclocks. I assume you're using Windows 10 since you're posting in this forum so please try the following:
Open an elevated command prompt (ie - use "Run as administrator" when launching the command prompt window) and run the command:

wpr -start GeneralProfile -start Network

Leave the command prompt window open so the trace continues to run in the background. Use your system to reproduce the problem and when the glitches start let it run for about 30 more seconds, switch back to the command prompt window and run the command:

wpr -stop d:\general.etl

or replace d: with whatever drive works for your system. That should write the file general.etl to the disk which is what you'd need to make available.

May I ask what this does, and do i need to post that report to you?

It captures an event trace log which will hopefully have the information we can analyze to see what's causing the glitches. The traces allow someone to analyze what the system was doing over time as demonstrated in this video.

The traces can get large very quickly but they usually compress well. It's recommended to zip the trace, upload the zip to a cloud drive (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) or a file sharing service that will host a file of that size, and share a download link in a reply.
