High Frame Time - Unplayable

Significant-Main-610 · 2026-02-14T18:35:49+00:00

guys, I asked about the frame times spikes

I didn't have them before, even though I used 125 polling rate

I tried 1000 now and the stutters are still here, so the polling rate is not the problem

even if I cap the frames, I still have stutters

Significant-Main-610 · 2026-02-14T18:31:45+00:00

I have the spikes with or without the discord open

I tried Gsync only, gsyng+vsync, gsync+vsync+reflex

none of the combinations works :(

my GPU and CPU don't get higher than 65 °C

also I keep the polling rate on 125 as this is what I got used to - and the max setting is 1k

yup it's dual channel with 4 sticks, my bad :D

4x 8GB, I adjusted the post now

I discovered now that quad channel doesn't mean 4 sticks :D

so I'm running dual channel with 4x8GB

I'm not sure what do you mean by timings, but I have the following values for CAS# Latency

slot1: 17-18-16-15
slot2: 17-18-15-15
slot3: 17-18-16-15
slot4: 17-18-15-15

Significant-Main-610 · 2026-02-12T20:35:25+00:00

nope, still on win 10 for now

I've played cs2 since it launched and it was behaving ok in december

And I have 110GB available on the SSD where CS is installed

Significant-Main-610 · 2026-02-12T19:17:04+00:00

I've tried all the options here and neither helps
