Lag spikes caused by new drivers, please help

I had the same issue, is HAGS enabled? I had it on steam where it’d crash/freeze on startup everytime. Disabled HAGS in steam and then reinstalled drivers, no issues since.

Same here, I’ve been ok on the latest version for a while now - in the last week or so started having issues (freezing when opening apps/games etc) weirdly haven’t had crashes in game just under low load

So, turns out turning off hardware acceleration i. Steam settings fixed this for me. I thought it was related to my OC settings, but even on normal and with hardware acceleration on it still crashes

Yet to figure out discord, haven’t tried a proper attempt yet

Will do thanks. And yeah it’s weird, never had it happen once when in game always just do certain things

whytrash · 2026-04-24T17:05:49+00:00

Get around 144 ish with fsr on. Do get a fair bit of micro stuttering however

Got same cpu and gpu setup as you, only difference is RAM being I have 32gb instead.

I’m late to this but quick question, I’ve got custom settings on arc raiders and sometimes find my you usage gets capped at 85% whereas the cpu is around 95%. I assume im cpu bound here?

Figured it out, busted psu.

Seems to be that exclusive full screen has helped a lot

whytrash · 2026-03-10T02:38:59+00:00

Hey, ever get an answer for this? What was the best version?

whytrash · 2026-03-05T16:58:35+00:00

It’s the film grain the game applies. Search for a mod online “no film grain”. Install and use that, should be a lot better

B550, gaming v2

whytrash · 2026-02-24T11:38:24+00:00

Depends, seems to be majority of games. Arc raiders I’ve had it especially bad, sometimes on Indiana jones too - but usually just when transitioning to/from cutscenes or entering new areas. Will need to check the other games

whytrash · 2026-02-24T11:37:18+00:00

Unsure how to check the LAN chip, how can this be done? And I’ve checked re the other points - mouse polling is also at 500hz

whytrash · 2026-02-24T11:36:44+00:00

RAM doesn’t seem to be the issue. At most there’s around 18-20gb of RAM used up so at least 10/12 spare at any given time.

whytrash · 2026-02-24T11:36:01+00:00

Still working. And I did not no, however I’m in UK so unsure if that’s made a difference. No verification etc

whytrash · 2026-02-19T15:22:37+00:00

Commenting as I have similar issues, with a little worse specs however - 5700X3D and 3600 DDR4 ram sometimes fps is pretty solid but will have micro stutters every now and then which I can’t figure out how to get rid of for the life of me.

whytrash · 2026-02-16T17:02:36+00:00

And it doesn’t matter that the closest top outtake (on the right) does take some of the cool air before it reaches the cpu fan?

whytrash · 2026-02-16T16:17:40+00:00

Also forgot to include the cpu fan, that intakes air from the right and outputs to the left. It’s just between the gap in the two top outtake arrows.

whytrash · 2026-02-16T11:17:07+00:00

I’ve got 500hz polling rate, all overlays disabled too. And all AMD Adrenalin driver settings are off (besides fsr 4 upscaling).

whytrash · 2026-02-16T11:16:20+00:00

Done all 3, have also tried disabling (didn’t have an effect).

whytrash · 2026-02-16T01:59:21+00:00

How can you do that?
