The gumbo of stutters, pauses, freeze and other ingredients

[haggerty]

dont know if its been mentioned in this thread but it appears all of my DX11 pauses are when the weather or lighting changes drastically.

Mine appear to be completely random. Stutter here. Stutter there. No stutter for a while, then a couple in 30 secs. Some nights hardly at all. A really odd problem so quite obvious why it's been so hard to pin down.

Here is an AHIII film of my box while flying.

You will note several instances of the film stuttering (even though I saw no such stuttering going on while flying) while I was flying.

The 1 instance that I would guide you to occurred at the 9:12 mark as that stutter is a screen pause\freeze that was captured in which you can clearly see the film skip ahead momentarily going out of synch then returning & I could clearly see the graphics motion stop completely for approx .5 secs then resume while I was flying.

Sending this to y'all for diagnosis to see if you can find anything from it.

 

PS--I have also provided a dxdiag of my box using the Crimson 17.8.1 drivers. You will find the AMD HDMI sound drivers are loaded along w\ the Creative SB X7 sound drivers...the AMD HDMI drivers are disabled in Win 10 so they aren't active. This is due to Win 10 continuing to reinstall the Windows version of these drivers on it's own after I delete them so I took a page out of Chalenge's book & disabled them instead to stop Windows from reinstalling them.

FYI........

Inside Steam does aces high default to dx11? Cause I get a huge pause every few mins. Rather annoying. If there's anythint I can do to help I will.

We had to default the Steam version to DX11.  No choice there due to the VR support.

[FESS67]

yep.  First thing I noticed was it was DX11 and lag pauses galore.

[SirNuke]

so - did the latest version fixed the stutter for you? I had none at first but they eventually came, maybe not as pronounced.

[Skuzzy]

The latest version of the game would not have fixed it.  This has been the issue all along.  The inconsistency of the problem.

I have read that the problem could be caused by GPU throttling. EVGA distributes a software that locks the gpu freq to the max, I'll try that out.

I overclock mine with Afterburner. The clock freqs I select in a profile stay constant when gaming in 3d. I still get stutters. That was before and after upgrading from a R6950 2gb to a 1060 6gb. So even both genres of video card, AMD and Nvidia.

I do not think it is the video card throttling.  It really wreaks of some type of resource issue outside of the game.  The fact it does not happen reliably and the frequency is variable based on the hardware is just maddening.

I have a 1060 6 gb what have you OC yours to?

I focused on videocard because my freezes are often accompanied (?) with a partial texture reload, but likewise the sound completely frozen during it...IRQ issues?

I hear that you don't have any issues on your office's computers, is there anything special that you do when you deploy them?

I'll keep brainstorming...

I am a fanatic about running clean systems.  We do not have much of anything installed which is not needed to do the job.

HiTech has an issue, once in a while, when Windows 10 decides to do an update.  It wreaks havoc with his development system when it happens and usually costs us a good half day to fix.

Mine is an MSI GamingX card with a really good cooler on it, which is why I bought it. I'm at 2100 core, 4374 Memory, 108 power limit. I never break 65c in the Unigine stress tests.

If you're not experienced in overclocking read up on it before you just plug settings into afterburner. Baby steps and a lot of patience are key. My card and my rig and my cooling are gonna be different from yours. Your overclockability will likely vary from mine. Don't fry your card! Just a brief PSA about overclocking.

That and let's not hijack this thread.
