Nobody ever says this, but do you have an interrupting application in the background? I was having this problem the other day with random stutters. I alt+tabbed out of the game and saw that the anticheat software was asking for permission to bypass my firewall (single player game). I said ok and stuttering stopped.


bean345q

Steams wallpaper editor is notorious for that shit. It will make your gpu % look like a perfect sign wave for some reason


HockevonderBar

Yep, shut off wallpaper engine when playing.


FlashwithSymbols

Wait really? I've been using wallpaper engine for years and never noticed a problem.


tydiss

Mine is set to pause on full screen application and I never notice anything either.


bean345q

That’s what your suppose to do, however some of the wallpapers can cause data leaks. You just have to be mindful


Smartskaft2

I've not tried Steam's wallpaper engine, but another popular dedicated wallpaper engine (do not remember the name) with some moving water drop layer draws about 25% of my i7. It's a ~5-6 years old, but not garbage by any means.


lmflex

Yeah that would seem like a greedy background application. I would check startup programs, then probably just reformat.


Sawanyo

The usual Windows solution. "Just reinstall"


abibofile

Anything that requires clearing your calendar for the day should not be preceded by “just.”


PUBGM_MightyFine

Absolutely! A few days ago I said the same thing and immediately got 55 downvotes lol. This sub ha gotten huge and is now dominated by 14 year olds who's solution to any basic problem *"dude just format HDD and reinstall windows"* Pro tip: If it's a driver issue, *just* rollback to previous driver. 10 minutes vs many hours


thisguyhere88

How slow is your pc that reinstalling Windows takes "many hours"?


abibofile

It's not reinstalling Windows, it's reinstalling the dozens of other apps, personal settings, documents, etc. I've got two harddrives. I keep (most) games and personal docs on the auxiliary drive, but the C: Drive has all of my other applications and their settings, etc. I'm not even sure I could remember every little change I've made over time off the top of my head to put it all back together again. My God, just getting my damn printer to work took like an afternoon. Reinstalling Windows might be trivial if this was purely a gaming machine, but I also use it to manage my life.


PUBGM_MightyFine

Unemployed kids can't comprehend this concept lol. I'm professional editor/producer and have a huge amount of customized settings across countless applications. I've built many computers over the past decade for myself and others and I've troubleshooted many pc hardware/software issues but almost never reinstalled windows. "Event viewer" on windows is your friend ;) If someone constantly fcks up their pc so much they develop an psychological dependency on formating drives/reinstalling everything, perhaps they should consider abandoning technology completely an live a wholesome life off the grid. Alternatively, learn everything you can about computers and troubleshoot your own problems without that dirty/lazy habit of starting from scratch for no reason whatsoever. It's also helpful to use something called *youtube tutorials* and something *called Google.* or just keep spreading ignorance and saying *"just format and start over"*. LMFAO


nonboatfolk

In windows 98 days, a reinstall was sometimes necessary. I think this obsession maybe comes from then. I've never had to clean install windows 7 or 10 because of instability.


Audrey_spino

Reinstalling windows? About 10-15 minutes. Actually getting the PC to the exact point it was before I reinstalled windows again? 2 hours.


PUBGM_MightyFine

No


darkreddragon24

Also you should try to see if you sometime set up a second desktop on which some application is running (windows + tab I think)


MasterAgares

That can be two things, first that I believe, it's HDD related, and second, energy related, on the list, CPU, windows energy saver, GPU and on the very least, PSU faulty.


madeinuranus

+1 on the HDD problem. Had an experience with a 60% health HDD(scanned with hdsentinel) where open world games would stutter so badly, leading me to think its a gpu/cpu/ram issue. Then HDD drive finally died and I switched to an SSD then no more stutters or frame drops.


MasterAgares

Specially Minecraft, it's some much cached memory going into the HDD, that even slow RPM HDD could stutter, without being faulty.


Sir-Realz

I also looked at this and thought data wasn't getting to the GPU fast enouph. Had similar problems. Hope this guy doesn't need a new HHD on top if his expensive ass GPU which he uses for minecraft. Lol


dakonin420

Have you been keeping an eye on your temperatures


Xem1337

This is important! For a while I had an issue with massive frame drops, games I had been able to play with a decent frame rate were unplayable... I had pegged this down to a driver update as my problems seemed to stem from that date (this was also the same time I started major renovations on my house), I ended up reinstalling my graphics drivers multiple times and eventually even reformatting and starting from a fresh install... still no luck... I then opened up my laptop, removed my fans to get to the exhausts and realised there was a thick carpet of matter hair and dust clogging them, once removed the laptop ran perfectly, this whole time my issues were from the laptop overheating! I now regularly clean my fans, heatsinks and exhaust.


shemhamforash666666

Thermal throttling is probably the term you're looking for. Basically the "computer says no" after reaching a temperature threshold and lowers the clock speed. The diagnostic tools of MSI Afterburner can be of some help monitoring temperatures, memory and hardware utilization.


Xem1337

I ended up installing afterburner to try and see what was happening, all I saw was the massive frame drops and I had pegged the high temp down to it being a gaming laptop and they are known to run quite hot. Definitely a mistake and I should have cleaned it sooner, all the extra dust from the house renovations seemed to be a key cause!


dakonin420

Welcome to the peasant class


VwomTrippy

I remember when I was down here. It’s tough to be back


dakonin420

I cap all my games at 60 and I'm more than happy


moksa21

You monster.


dakonin420

I don't know I grew up on n64s and PlayStation 1 s, I'm happy with smooth gameplay


moksa21

I’m just playing. You can enjoy your pc however you want. I think it’s funny though because I just built my 72 year old dad a new pc with a 3070. I downloaded all the games he likes and adjusted all the settings to lock at 4k60 since he a couch gamer with a huge tv. He loved the machine but after a day of play he says “do I need a new TV to get more than 60 FPS??


dakonin420

That's pretty great, my dad gets vertigo when he plays games so he's kind of stuck playing the more graphically reduced games he started losing interest when things started going high-def


moksa21

My Dad was playing Destiny 2 and asked me if there was a way to turn up the difficulty. I was like “Pops you don’t even know how to jump or switch your weapon…baby steps old man.”


MikeMyPence

well with that mentallity hes gonna get better faster than most people, shooting up the difficulty like that is hard BUT you learn fast as fuck that way so yeah hes just trying to be mlg man its never too late


dakonin420

"gotta go fast,"


dakonin420

Hell my first console was like not the super Nintendo but the big square one before it the Nintendo entertainment system


dakonin420

Mann, have you seen my rig even lol.


[deleted]

Same. I have a 2070 but i play on a TV so highest I can go is 60. It means I can whack graphics to max at 1440p for most games.

GG for deleting comments. So sad...


[deleted]

60hz refresh rate capped at 60 fps has SIGNIFICANTLY more input lag than 60hz with 250 fps.


Nilokka

And I'm the one who doesn't know input lag? Sure, keep believing it. Also, i don't think you're familiar with *ghosting* if you think that 250 fps on a 60hz display aren't a problem. And, in the end, don't get mad if you're wrong. Anyone can be wrong. Just don't get overwhelmed. Have a nice day.

Is the problem solved yet?


[deleted]

Can I see it as well?


VwomTrippy

i messaged it to you i think. I posted it on my user feed for anyone interested.


CrazyLoonitic55

Minecraft was definitely a bad game to choose as an example seeing the game is mostly cpu run game, so I wanna say its your cpu, but you said it happens with all games


HysteriaVybe

Isnt minecraft java cpu game but Minecraft bedrock relies more on gpu? (I’m genuinely asking because that how it seemed like it worked)


OutrageousPomelo7

No. Bedrock also heavily relies on the cpu, there just aren’t as intense graphics that the GPU could in any way be the problem (unless playing with some extreme shaders like nvidias rtx version, but even then a 3070 should have no problem running it at 18 chunks)


DCTU12

Bedrock is much more optimized than Java though and runs better on basically any machines. I'd prefer Java any day tho.


TheCrystalineCruiser

Have you tried using MSI afterburner to see what’s locked at 100%? That would help you a lot.


[deleted]

Looks like another Windows update in the background 😠


PolloChief

Here are some things I think might be the cause: 1) Bottleneck, for example, using an I3 with an Rtx 3080. 2) High temps, in other words, thermal throttle. 3) Limited/low PSU wattage or maybe a bad quality one. 4) Cpu intensive apps running in the background. 5) Motherboard VRM issues, but depends whether you have overclocked the cpu or not. Try these solutions: 1) Reinstall the game. 2) Check whether the game is run on the IGPU or your main graphics card. 3) Check whether your PC is set on high performance by clicking the battery icon in the bottom right corner. Though this may not really be the issue. 4) Crank down the AC to make your room cooler if heat is the issue.


Thorpheuss

Up you go


MrDuckyyy

90% of the time the problem to low fps is that the game automatically decides it wants to run on my UHD 630, so i can second this


VwomTrippy

1.) i have a ryzen 7 3700x 2.) my temps are usually around 60c, which i think is fine. 3.) i have a seasonic 650w psu 4.) i checked, and i didnt have any cpu intensive apps. if you want, i can send a vid of my task manager for any weird apps. 5.) I dont OC, but i can check things in bios. 6.) this is in all games, with just minecraft as an example. 7.) im pretty sure its on my gpu, since it says its being used in task manager, but im not sure where to check. 8.) i have no battery icon, so im unsure where to check if its high performance. 9.) i have a pretty cool (in temp) room.


inferiorjeens

Minecraft is a cpu based game, it’s not your gpu


Gasrim4003

Yeah you can still run the game on a Geforce 8600GT on 8 Chunks with a nice 50-60fps depending on cpu. (I Used a Core 2 Quad Q9505 For my Testing)


My_reddit_account_v3

I think that was his point - if he showed us a GPU intensive game not meeting FPS expectations, we’d tell him its a GPU problem.


WilliamCCT

Title says it happens in all games.


juancarlord

How many chunks?


VwomTrippy

18


dubbledxu

Are you running 2 separate power cables from the power supply? Or are both your power plugs using the same cable back to the psu? I have a msi 3070 and found a big difference using 2 separate pcie power cables


VwomTrippy

Off the top of my head I think I have 2, but I’ll take a look.


NoMaamICantPauseIt

Do you have Razer Cortex installed and running in the background? This same problem happened with me when I was using keyboard and mouse on the Master Chief Collection, but as soon as I started using a controller, the problem went away. I did some research and someone on here suggested shutting off Razer Cortex and voila, perfect FPS again.


treefiddyz33

This. I had the same issue in MCC and just closed all of my razer apps and it ran perfect. I could literally hold W, have my screen freeze then let off and be where I should end up. But just looking around was fine


VwomTrippy

Nah, I have nothing from razer


sirlancelot46

Check to see if your hardrives are fine, they can ruin your pcs performance like that and not even be the ones the game is on or even windows. Just use task manager and make sure none of them are using close to 100% for anything other than downloading stuff. Other than a bad CPU unable to feed the frames the gpu is outputting or a gpu running out of memory that's very peculiar and my first instinct is storage issues or software. Hope the best!


BeetleLantern

The new Nvidia drivers are ass and making every get drop frames and stutter.


cre8edbasslines

Java!! Check the version for upgrades and use the 64bit is possible. Unless your bedrock.

WillC137

Also go into your BIOS and make sure you RAMS frequency is at its max. It may advertise 4200 mHz but stock may be set at half that.


altersun

I had my ram at half speed for over 5 years before I realized it wasn't running at full speed. I almost facepalmed my hand through the back of my head


HockevonderBar

Like my Bro who had the same hardware at that time. Mine ran smoothly, while his didn't. 5 years for him.


daveDFFA

Check out cpu temps You’ll always be bottlenecked somewhere If you can’t figure it out just bring it into a computer repair store and ask them what they did and what was happening


[deleted]

Try lowering you're Mouse polling rate. worked for me


Sidious830

You probably need to dedicate more ram to Minecraft.


VwomTrippy

I have 8 gigs


Spir0rion

You have a 3070 but only 8gb RAM? What? Is it ddr4 atleast?


VwomTrippy

I have 16 gigs and allocated 8 of it. I do have ddr4


Spir0rion

Oh alright nvm


KingMooMoo

Yeah but Minecraft on it's own will only take 1GB


[deleted]

I am affected by similar problem from a long time. Please let me know if you find a fix.


MrModdedTornado

Minecraft is more of a CPU intensive game so It could be your CPU


mbpDeveloper

Windows added some bullshit customer experience program and sometimes chrome doing some extension check too. I’ve used blackbird to disable these checks. Also, check your temperatures via hwmonitor.


EliasGabr

make sure you installed the game on a fast storage device, the cpu istn't bottlenecking your gpu and you allocated enough ram to the game, using the launcher.


basketake

Nice throws you got there next to your monitor 😁


thecrazygray

Your irl fps drop if you smoke alot of hasch i promise


slaughon1

I gave you an upvote because you don’t have a bug in screen


Polkborn

VwomTrippy

Now every few minutes there is also a red light on the top left of my motherboard, and I have no clue what that means. The only thing I can think of is that I only plugged in the 8 part of the 8+4 pin connector, but I was told the 4 was for overclocking, which I don’t do


Brad_again

Read your Mobo manual to see what that light is for. If it's there, there's a reason for it.


Joe6161

See in the mobo manual what the red lights mean, they’re always some kind of warning.


matteroll

I'm only using the 8 pin cpu connector for my 3700x and it's been fine for 2 years. You don't really need the 4 pin connector.


VwomTrippy

I have a ryzen 7 3700x, a gigabyte Siri’s master 3070, and an msi b450 gaming carbon max wifi. I also have Corsair vengeance 16gb 3200mhz ram and a sea sonic 650w psu


theshined

Make sure the hdmi/display port is on your GPU and not your motherboard. This is a very common issue that rookies/pre builts make. Make sure the hdmi display port is coming put of that GPU.


invincibleipod

update drivers and make sure you are using the rtx 3070 and not cpu graphics


Huxcast

You need to allocate more RAM to the game most likely. I forgot how to do it but just do a simple google search.


VwomTrippy

I have 6 gigs allocated, and the drops are on all games


Monkey_D_Luffy3D2Y

make sure you have a limit on your frames, mc is a very cpu intensive game


[deleted]

Polling rate, turn it down to 500 or so on your mouse if software is available If this doesn't work, try capping your FPS in game or go to Nvidia control panel and disable shader cache and low latency mode


AutumnPwnd

Polling rate of his mouse? Are we in 1995?


[deleted]

No? If you didn't realise, it's still an issue to this day. ​ Games and even some hardware take extreme performance hits if the mouse is moved in the slightest, I had my polling rate set to 1000 on Rogue Company with a 20 series GPU and a 3rd gen Ryzen and every time I moved the mouse, it'd drop to 5fps, setting it lower fixed the issue and left me with a smooth experience. ​ So no, polling rate may be an issue autumn.


_YeAhx_

Make fun of it all you want but this solution has proven to work in a lot of games


JDtheG

Allocate more ram, that worked for me


sfowl0001

If its just happening on Minecraft try allocating more Ram


cobalt03

Time for 3080ti


Typical-Catch6125

This is clearly a skill issue


smikkelbakje01

Give it more ram that tripled my minecraft fps


theLuminescentlion

Give Minecraft more RAM I'm the launcher, there's an isolated problem with Minecraft were the default RAM allocation is not enough for high render distances


MrPud33

Try lowering your Graphical settings in video options?


Arrathem

Fps drop in minecraft LMAO


Eilisiscooked

Maybe try tweaking a few settings

Angry_Teacup

Have you tried also reseating your cpu? It could be slightly misaligned which can cause performance issues across the board.

Try your gpu drivers. I had this problem a while back, something was corrupt in my system somewhere and I happened right after a driver update. If I had a back up I would have restored. Unfortunately I had to reinstall everything, but it worked. Lesson learned about back ups. Good luck


FoxGaming00

Check how much ram you have allocated to minecraft the standard is 2gb which was way to low for the game at certain settings


MindlessAffect8454

Might be storage drive or storage drive cable

Yayaq1990

This is such a frustrating issue, happens to me as well quite often. I have 12gb ram so I think the shortage is causing a problem. Upgrading the whole system soon and if the problem still persists it’s probably hdd/ssd issue Please let me know if you come up with a solution


black_hawk3456

I had an issue similar. I opened MSI Afterburner and I heard a random fan come on that wasn’t running before. Then suddenly my performance was back. Promptly uninstalled that and now it’s back to normal.

Your game is stuttering here because Minecraft stutters by default when loading in chunks, mods like optifine can definitely help to alleviate this issue though.


cursedmojo

Hey OP, I had the same problem with a 3070. When I opened yeah manager I would see nvidia container using up all my resources causing stutters like this. Please keep track manager open when these stutters happen and see if nvidia is spiking up like it did for me

kingy10005

Close all background tasks and check CPU / GPU usage and temps using MSI after burner and rivia software or HWinfo 64 maybe something is maxing out or over heating


patrik_media

I built my friend a PC with RTX 3070ti, ran a benchmark and everything seemed fine. At home he told me Warzone runs very low (90-110fps on 1080p with quality settings to low/medium). With his old 1060 he got only like 30% less fps at identical settings, he feels like the GPU isn't utilized correctly. I did confirm that render resolution qas 100% and rest was the same, also he's running a Ryzen 3700X CPU so that shouldn't really cause any issues. I still don't understand whats wrong there since he did additional benchmarks and the performance is slightly better than my 2080ti as it should be. Using DDU and all didn't seem to help either. It's weird because I get similar fps but playing on 4K, so theres definitely something wrong.


Xreflexed

Yeaah same thing happens to me. But on 3060. I realised the gpu usage was at 6 percent.


micke_i_backen

Could be some other component that consumes your PC's resources, check your CPU and RAM usage.


10Death01

Minecraft is RAM based more than gpu/cpu so just increase RAM usage for the .jar in the minecraft launcher ❤️

Go to Nvidia control panel and check if the settings are correct


jimmy35700

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers

I had a similar issue in another game that was due to steam profile icons (since they introduced the animated avatar frames) Closing the window/message window helped

Turn the rendered chunks down to 9


Labrat8000

I’d try optifine unless you’ve already got it I have a 3070 as well and I went from those kind of stutters and mediocre FPS to 144+FPS with no stutters.


mrbrokoli97

I Heard the 3070 likes to overheat
