  1. Specs
  2.  
  3. CPU: AMD 5800x3D (I've also tried a another 5800x3D)
  4. GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4080 Gaming OC (previously used a Gigabyte Radeon RX 6900 XT OC)
  5. Cooler: Arctic Freezer II 360 (Using 6 fans top mounted to my case with a push/pull configuration)
  6. Ram: Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600MHz C18 (I've also tried 2 different lots of RAM at 16GB 3200MHz and at different clock speeds/timings!)
  7. PSU: Corsair RM1000x 1000w (Initially I had a 850w PSU that I swapped out in case the stutters were caused by any Power Limits)
  8. MOBO: MSI MPG X570S Carbon Max Wifi (Swapped out with MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk)
  9. SSD 2x WD SN850 1TB M.2 with Heatsink & Samsung 870 evo 500GB SATA SSD (Tried several configurations, running both multiple and single drives)
  10. Case: Corsair 5000D Airflow with 13 Fans (Including CPU Cooler fans)
  11. Monitor: BenQ XL2540 - 1080p 240Hz
  12.  
  13. Steps taken to try to reduce stuttering:
  14.  
  15. GPU (6900XT)
  16. capping frames in game
  17. RTSS frame cap
  18. Disabled ULPS in MSI Afterburner
  19. Both Full and Minimal AMD GPU Driver Installs - Tried 5 different drivers(Using DDU)
  20. Used MorePowerTool to disable DS (sleep) states and raise power limit
  21. Used MoreClockTool to set many different min-max clock range on GPU (tried clock speeds as low as 1900MHz and as high as 2750MHz with different combinations of voltages and different Power %)
  22. Memory Fast Timing Level both on and off
  23. Set a more aggressive fan curve
  24. Different Radeon Settings (Anti-Lag, Vsync off of course, HDCP support, Tesselation Mode AMD Opt/Overide Off, Texture Filtering Quality Performance)
  25. Freesync on/off
  26.  
  27. RTX 4080
  28. set voltage curve in msi afterburner for 4080 undervolt at 935mv @ 2580MHz
  29. tried bossting memory clock also and raising power limit
  30. Set a more aggressive fan curve
  31. the usual optimal nvidia control panel settings - prefer maximum performance, use highest refresh rate etc.
  32. Even went as far to try nvidia profile inspector for further settings: force cuda P2 state off,
  33. memory allocation policy moderate pre allocation.
  34. Multiple drivers
  35. Made sure to use 3 separate PCI cables for powering the GPU
  36.  
  37. Ram
  38. DRAM Voltages ranging from 1.1v to 1.4v
  39. Different Ram frequencies ranging from 2400MHz to 3800MHz
  40. XMP on and off
  41. Many different combos of manual and auto timings
  42. Even used Ryzen ram calculator and DDR4 OC guide by integral
  43. Upgraded Ram from 16GB to 32GB
  44. ram in different slots, also tried both sticks on their own
  45.  
  46. CPU
  47. PBO2 Tuner curve with different offsets ranging from 0 down to -30 (even set several different PPT, TDC and EDC limits)
  48. Repasted CPU
  49.  
  50. Windows
  51. disabling Control Flow Guard in Exploit Protection
  52. disabling different Services (SysMain, AMD Crash Defender/External Events Utility, Diagsvc, Gupdate, edgeupdate)
  53. Fresh Installed to both Windows 10 and 11 (tried many different versions! Currently using W10)
  54. disabled all non Microsoft Services in system configuration
  55. Ran a Malwarebytes Scan
  56. updated C++ and DirectX
  57. Power plans: High Performance/Ultimate/Bitsum Highest Performance
  58. Disabled unnecessary programs from startup
  59. Gamemode/Gamebar on and off
  60. Disable Background Apps
  61. Disabled Notifications
  62. uninstalled OneDrive
  63. Adjusted visual effects for best performance
  64. Tried Manual/Disabled and Automatic Page File settings
  65. Disabled Windows Transparency Effects
  66. Disabled Hibernate
  67. Disabled Bluetooth
  68. Ensure GPU is running in MSI Mode
  69. Intelligent Standby List Cleaner (ISLC)
  70. Disabled Microsoft Store auto updates
  71. disable Variable Refresh Rate
  72. Removed Windows bloat programs
  73. Turned many things on and off in device manager (AMD GPIO/PSP/Dynamiuc Audio Noise Suppression, Kernel Debug Network Adapter, Radio Device Enumeration Bus, NDIS Virtual Network Adapter Enumerator, HDMI Audio, Realtek software, unused audio devices, xbox 360 controller)
  74. With and without Chipset Drivers
  75. Tried to use Latency Mon and windows performance toolkit in an attempt to diagnose (I must admit these were a bit too complicated for me)
  76. Disabled all Hardware acceleration on programs such as discord, spotify, Google Chrome
  77. Disabled Chrome from running in background
  78. disabled Windows Defender
  79. stopped gamebarpresencewriter.exe (definitely helped to reduce some stutter)
  80. Disabled Windows NDU (Network Data Usage)
  81. DISM Scan/repair and sfc /scannow commands with temp file removal
  82. Disabled MPO (Multi-Plane Overlay)
  83. Samsung Magician Full Performance Mode
  84. WD_Black SN850 dashboard - updated firmware, turned Gaming Mode On and RGB off
  85. Tried different polling rates on mouse/keyboard.
  86. Disabled HAGS
  87. Disabled discord overlay
  88.  
  89.  
  90. Other
  91. Dismantled PC and Rebuilt it many times, even reconnecting only essential things to fault find
  92. replaced cmos battery
  93. Used a GPU support stand to prevent sagging on the right side away from the mounting position.
  94.  
  95. PUBG Game settings
  96. I prefer maximum performance in-game so always play on lowest settings (have tried higher settings in case it was a utilisation issue, but to no avail).
  97. Also turned off all of the crap - vsync, show inventory character render etc.
  98. render scale 100%
  99. DX11E (have also tried DX11 & DX12)
  100.  
  101. Bios settings:
  102. Different BIOS versions
  103. CPPC
  104. CPPC preferred Cores
  105. SMT Control (helped to reduce stutter)
  106. Global C State Control
  107. PSS support
  108. Gear Down Mode
  109. Power Down Mode
  110. Resizable Bar (Smart Access Memory - SAM) both on and off
  111. PSU idle Control Typical Current
  112. Secure Boot
  113. Different voltages SOC/VDDP/VDDG CCD & IOD
  114. Dram Latency Enhance on/off/msi setting
  115. svm mode
  116. nx mode
