    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    Yes, and is actually worse. Mind you this is still at the lowest settings possible. Also, I notice the GPU goes down to 0% usage when it does happen, so could it be a GPU issue?

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    It happens in fullscreen, and as far as I can tell changing affinity from normal to high does not solve the issue. I have confirmed this is happening in more than just AC: Origins. Odyssey, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Endless Space 2, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider all show the same issue, but in a...

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    Do you have any ideas what could be causing it? The NT scheduler thing makes sense but still a 9700k shouldn't have any issue. It's really frustrating.

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    I'll try the bluetooth thing but I don't use slack so I'll have to find something else to get rid of. Thank you for the help.

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    I think I get it now, thank you. Seems like I may refund and get a 9900k instead, but at least there seems to be nothing seriously wrong with my pc. Thank you for your help.

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    But if that's the case why doesn't my laptop stutter when it reaches 100% cpu usage in Origins and Odyssey? It just drops frames, but doesn't stutter. It has a 6 core/12 thread i7 8750h

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    I've looked at all that and nothing really stood out tbh I don't know, I haven't tested that, all I've done was limit the frames the 60, but given that in Alexandria I get 70 when it's not stuttering, I don't what good that would do.

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    Yeah, if I limit in game frames to 60 there's no issue. My RAM is fine, I did the Windows memory check and it reported no issues, I'm on the latest GPU drivers as well. I have this game installed on my OS drive, so I'm gonna reinstall on the other drive and see if that fixes anything.

    Question 9700k stuttering in games: hardware issue?

    I have what I’d think is a fairly beefy PC with an i7 9700k, a 2080, 16 GB 3200mhz RAM, 2 SATA SSDs, connected to a 1440p 144hz monitor. However, while playing Assassin's Creed: Origins, I frequently experience micro-freezes lasting anywhere from 2-3 seconds in Alexandria and other cities like...
