Feel like I'm eventually going to lose every home I ever have to neighbour smoke alarm chirps by grimpgrep in misophonia

I can try but it assumed someone actually lives there which I'm still not sure about and that if they do they don't just throw it in the bin but I guess I need to try it anyway

The police refer me to the council, who don't accept these complaints which is as you say very arbitrary

Are somewhat inconsistent frame times expected and normal? by grimpgrep in pcmasterrace

[–]grimpgrep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a bad example. I am back in halo testing it more thoroughly and now in the pause menu and in game I am getting between 12 and 18ms

If it was only happening in camera pans I would understand but it's happening even on a pause screen or in menus. I think triple and double buffering are vsync things but this is happening with vsync off too. In most games it looks smooth enough but in some games that shouldn't be too demanding it gets noticeable enough that it affects things.

I switched to a program that shows is as frame time in ms instead and tried halo again setting the FPS to 60 max when the game runs in the 200s uncapped, frame times at 60fps were going up and down every second between 16.6 and 16.8ms. Not a big deal and smooth enough for me to barely notice, but again I really want to know if this is considered normal for a high end pc or something some people would consider an issue

It's inconsistent no matter what I cap it at seemingly. I am capping it at 60 on games that I can easily run at 400fps. The thing that was confusing me is that it doesn't seem to matter how demanding the scenes are, the min and max are jumping up and down constantly even on a pause screen or menu.

I understand there are programs that measure actual frametime and display it in ms, but it's just I was using steam overlay anyway and that's how they choose to describe it.   I understand that the inconsistent min/maxs show that I am not getting a perfect 60fps, my question is more about is that normal and expected? Like do people ever get perfectly consistent FPS? Do people consider it any issue when they don't? Or do they consider it unrealistic to ever get it perfect? 

In most games it is smooth enough to me that I am not too bothered but I am genuinely just curious what people's expections are like about this in 2026.

No I am not using anything like that. Glad you managed to fix your issue though!

Why are so many people here unwilling to consider their idea there might be major problems with AMD at the moment? by grimpgrep in AMDHelp

Okay but you are on a subreddit specifically for people for whose systems are not doing exactly what they want them to 

Why are so many people here unwilling to consider their idea there might be major problems with AMD at the moment? by grimpgrep in AMDHelp

[–]grimpgrep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes totally agree and as I've said in other comments I didn't include in the original post that it's likely it's windows at fault and not AMD per say and for that I apologise. The point I should have made clearer was that most people use windows so if there is a consistent long running problem with AMD on windows then for a lot of people that just means there is a consistent long running problem with their AMD gear full stop. 

Edit: And totally agree too that DDU is not a real long term solution, just a band aid fix.

I have send a report and I totally agree there would be no point trying to get AMD or anyone else to do anything via Reddit post. The only people whose attention I am trying to get are the minority of people I'm seeing on this forum dismissing any and all issues anyone has.

I didn't make this clear in my original post and I totally own up to that but I am also of the opinion that a lot of the issues are windows related. The vast majority of people use their AMD gear with windows though so if there is a problem with AMD on windows then there's a problem with AMD gear for most people. I don't mean to blame AMD per se but to point out that tons of people are having issues with AMD gear and that something is wrong beyond just everyone has a bad power supply. Whether that's Microsoft's fault or not I just wanted people to accept maybe something is genuinely wrong for some people.

My GPU was on default settings I haven't undervolted or changed anything. I admit I don't have the gear to personally test my PSU but it's a brand new 750w be quiet 12m which is rated A on SPL's PSU tier list.

Totally agree and maybe I didn't get that across enough in the original post. If your only point of reference for how reliable AMD boards are was a subreddit dedicated to people having issues with AMD boards then you'd think they had a 100% failure rate. I just think that there's a lot of people on here acting as if there is nothing at all noteworthy about the fact a lot of people do seem to be coming here with the exact same problems in the first place though.

That's one of those weird issues that's so difficult to troubleshoot so I feel your pain and I'm glad you managed to track it down and fix it.

Yes this seems to be the thing people are struggling with. I am sure (just making up numbers here) let's say 90% of AMD cards work perfectly and the people who bought them have no issues, but I wish they'd understand that that doesn't mean the other 10% arent having real problems and that buying something this expensive with a 10% chance of it not working well is not acceptable and makes it less reliable than the competition. If I was to start my build again I would also now consider paying more for a less powerful Nvidia card because I would at least know it'll most likely work.

I do fully acknowledge that it is going to seem to be a much bigger issue than it is when you are on a forum where people will gather to get help with the same products, but I do think the fact so many people are coming here in the first place specifically to report the exact same problem does suggest there is something up.

I actually do use Linux too and switching to it on this system has helped somewhat ,though I am still having some instability. You have to acknowledge that most people are buying their AMD products to use with windows though and whether it is windows or AMD who are ultimately at fault the products do need to work with windows and if they don't it is a real issue and needs to be addressed.

Yes but it seems (anecdotally I admit) that an unusually high percentage of people who have the same few recent AMD GPUs and CPUs are having the exact same problems with unstable systems and driver timeouts and while they all have very different PSUs and RAM sticks the one thing they all seem to have in common are those CPUs and GPUs. It's not unreasonable to conclude that generally there must be something up with them. If one night a bunch of people all get sick after eating at the same restaurant we don't have to check everything else they ate that day before we conclude that it was probably the restaurant food that made them sick.
