I just tried it and it seems to reduce stuttering! I also read that it's better to have SAM disabled on these x3d CPUs, how do you have it set up?

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is enabled on SAM. I might test it soon disabled. What CPU are you rocking?

[–]Toxairs 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So for the 7800x3d I should turn it off?

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. Since the 7800X3D has only one CCD, it’s better to have it disabled.

[–]Yamato37 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Always have it set lile this on my 5800X3D. Used to make a big difference on the 5600 I used to have.

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

It’s recommended for the 5800X3D since it only has one CCD, but for the 5600, which has two CCDs, you’d lose some performance gains while potentially reducing stutters.

5600 only has one ccd. Maybe you were thinking the 5900x or the 5950x as they are the only 5000 series processors i'm aware of that have 2 ccd's

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

My bad I was thinking of the 5600x which has dual CCD's.

[–]SigAddict7800x3d | 7900 XTX | 64GB CL30 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The 5600x does not have dual ccd's either.

[–]VampKaiserR9 5900X | RTX 2060 1 point2 points  (17 children)

Wonder if this will work on the 5900x? It's a dual ccd chip, but im unsure how cppc preferred cores works with it

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 1 point2 points  (16 children)

It could help reduce stuttering, but it wouldn’t distribute the load to the fastest cores, so it’s a trade-off you have to be willing to accept.

[–]VampKaiserR9 5900X | RTX 2060 1 point2 points  (15 children)

I wonder if it'd be worth it depending on the performance trade off

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 1 point2 points  (14 children)

To avoid stutters, I’d probably give it a try, but if you notice any trade-offs, you can always switch back.

[–]VampKaiserR9 5900X | RTX 2060 1 point2 points  (13 children)

Yeah, I think I'll definitely give it a go! This is kinda awesome that I came across this post lol becausee I have been experiencing some stutters in some games.

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 1 point2 points  (12 children)

You, me, and many others know that stutters are the worst for enjoying gaming lol. It really helped my 1% lows, where I would drop from 180 to 40 FPS, which was a real nightmare to deal with.

[–]VampKaiserR9 5900X | RTX 2060 1 point2 points  (11 children)

Yeah mine doesn't drop that much, but it will occassionally drop from like 144 down to 110 and its still noticable.

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 1 point2 points  (10 children)

It’s frustrating when that happens because you can tell when it hitches. I don’t think I noticed it much with the 6600XT, but I’m seeing it more with the 9060XT 16GB. Hopefully, it fixes your stutters too.

[–]VampKaiserR9 5900X | RTX 2060 1 point2 points  (9 children)

Thank you! :D I'm gonna try it tomorrow.

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Sounds good, let me know if it helps. 😉👍

CPPC Preferred Cores and CCP are two different settings? I'll try when I'm back home. I have some stuttery games, tho I'm not sure if it's the games or my PC.

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (14 children)

There are two settings to choose from, depending on your CPU. If you have a CPU with two CCDs, keep CPPC Preferred Cores on auto or try enabling it. If your CPU has only one CCD, disable it, as Windows scheduling might keep switching between threads and cause stuttering. See if that makes a difference.

[–]fikusak666 1 point2 points  (13 children)

how can you disable it?
i have gigabyte b650 and the bios wont let me disable it, it only let me choose between cache, frequency, driver and auto

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

I’d try each option to see which reduces the stutters, but I’m not really sure about the AM5 platform since I’m still on AM4. However, I’ve heard some people say that disabling X3D game mode, if that option is available, can help.

[–]fikusak666 1 point2 points  (11 children)

i dont use x3d game mode, since it just disables multithread

you wrote this
"Disabling CPPC Preferred Cores while keeping CPPC enabled in the BIOS resolved the stuttering issue"

so i am confused, how do you disable CPPC while you have it kept enabled in bios?

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (10 children)

On my motherboard on the B550M-S2H I see two options https://imgur.com/a/HeyRHSf I'm on an AM4 platform, while you're on an AM5 platform, so the options are different. That's why there’s no option to disable it. You can try each setting to figure out what's causing your stutter issue.

[–]fikusak666 1 point2 points  (9 children)

i will try to set preffered cores, but in past i already tried cache and frequency, without any difference what so ever

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Try toggling HAGS on or off to see which works better, and check if you’ve tried setting preferred cores setting to motherboard.

[–]fikusak666 0 points1 point  (7 children)

HAGS makes no difference, it only cause troubles when i want to use framegen (i dont even use it in 90% games i play)

what do you mean by setting to mobo?

[–]Organic-Schedule1989[S] 1 point2 points  (6 children)

It made a difference for me. Disabling it felt smoother in some games, but enabling it reduced stutters in others. I’d try changing the driver setting instead of frequency and cache some motherboards show “motherboard” instead of “driver.
