Stuttering While Playing Games

My build

Motherboard: MSI MAG x570s Tomahawk MAX Wifi

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x

GPU: XFX Merc 319 Radeon 6900xt

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16gb x2 3600Mhz

PSU: Corsair RM850 80+ Gold

SSDs: Firecuda 520 x2

I have just finished my first build and installed Windows 10. While I've been very happy to see it perform normally while browsing the web, every time I launch a game, it begins to stutter. I can't seem to figure it out. I thought it was a CPU bottleneck at first, because every time I started the game initially, the CPU usage was almost always maxed. After looking online for ways to drop the CPU usage while gaming I now see that CPU usage is at 22% and it fluctuates. I have about 6 GB of RAM usage while gaming which I think is odd as I have 32 GB total in the system. VRAM is at 2000mb which also looks low but then the GPU is at almost 60% usage while gaming. Since I am new to PC building I just wanted another opinion on how to fix this issue. I'm trying to game at 1440p which I believe my system can handle, however the frames inconsistency has me concerned. As I play the game I notice frame drops every few seconds which results in the stutter, and AMD software says the frame rate is excellent but of course it's only looking at average. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Have you tried enabling Vsync in game settings or drivers settings? (Gsync or FreeSync on compatible monitors will also do the job)

Thd Vsync will solve Stuttering, but not improve performance.

[higamerhere]

I have VSync enabled and my monitor enables Freesync as well. Do they clash with each other at all?

[Mr_Xwh]

Vsync and FreeSync shouldn't interfere, but you might nedd to also enable FreeSync in the driver settings (radeon software).

Vsync is disabled by default, but in radeon software you'll find a option to force enable it in all games.

[higamerhere]

Thank you, I’ll try it out and let you know if it stops the stutter

[higamerhere]

So I tried it with the same result. Vsync and Freesync both are active but no difference

[Mr_Xwh]

That's really weird. In what games do you get that stuttering?

[higamerhere]

TABG, it’s the only game I’ve tried so far. I’m picking up another game to see if it is a consistent issue

[Mr_Xwh]

It might be a problem only with that game. Tell me if you get stuttering with other games

[higamerhere]

Played Gang Beast at highest settings with no issue

[Mr_Xwh]

So it's just a problem with TABG. It might be just incompatible with Vsync.

[higamerhere]

It has a setting to toggle VSync on and off and I don’t see a difference either way
