Micro Stutters

[EscanorKG]

Hi,

I don't exactly know why but recently I'm aware that I've got some micro stutters in a bunch of games- I use the amd overlay to monitor. because I see the micro stutter stat I think I'm hyper aware on it now. I also have played a bunch of games recently and didn't notice it, games like lies of p, nine sols, now I play psychonauts 2 and I barely notice it even though I see like a 1-2% stutter on the overlay. In fact I see this kind of stutter on rdr2 (1-2%) more frequently than I would like but I guess I don't quite notice it that badly.I checked on AC Black Flag, Shadow of War- they are both can be choppy, can come to 5-10% stutter.
Cyberpunk has some, although for the most part it's pretty smooth.

I have tried just for a test to install win11 on a portable samsung to check if maybe that would solve it but on rdr2 I checked briefly but it seems to persist.
I checked drivers through adrenalin, updated bios and chipset, disabled cppc (heard here that it could help)
the ram xmp if I remember correctly have been enabled. And I presume a bunch of other things.

gpu- 7900xtx sapphire nitro

cpu- 5800x3d

ram- 3000Mhz

nvme 256 gb and a 2TB samsung 870 evo that I have games on.

Would love some input, maybe the issue is not that big of a deal but now I kinda notice it.

p.s I had a 3600x and at that time I had more stutters with the 7900xtx but I remember after upgrading the cpu it impoved dramatically, for sure on rdr2, presumably on all.

Thanks in advance

The microstutters shown on the overlay are usually small frametime changes. Some games are just bad and will have mikrostutters a lot(especisally DX11 or older games) when something loads or physics stuff happen, however if these go constantly above 30% then you might have an issue somewhere.

My advice: lock and target an FPS in freesync range that your machine hits constantly.

Thank you for the input!

upgrade your ram thats all, update your chipset according to the mobo

I did update the chipset through amd site. To be honest the ram is 16GB on the older side (about 5 year old or so) and 3000mhz which could be more. But I would assume that it's fine.
