FPS drop or stuttering on graphic intensive games after a while.

Robbingbob27 · Nov 21, 2014

GPU: GTX 770
CPU: FX-8350
RAM: 8GB 1866Mhz
CPU cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
MOBO: Asus M5A99X
I'm not sure what the problem is, but if my computer has been on for an extended amount of time, even if i haven't been playing games, games like Battlefield 4, Watchdogs, and Titanfall all start losing fps or stuttering when I play them. But as soon as I restart my computer it's fine. I have checked my CPU temps, it's fine, it gets to max 45 C when playing games and drops to the 20s when not playing games. Is it my GPU? My GPU drivers are up to date also. I just want to have some hardcore gaming sessions without having to restart all the time to play high power games. Thanks for any replies.

What is your powersupply ?

Does your fc 8350 have a cooler if not you should consider buying a 30 dollar cooler like hyper 212 evo you can oc a little bit

Robbingbob27 · Nov 21, 2014

I mentioned that in my systems specs. I have a hyper 212 evo.

Do you have the RAM configured in BIOS?

Robbingbob27 · Dec 4, 2014

Yes, I have it set to 1866 ghz

Is it possible that I am overheating my ram?

gskill support · Dec 9, 2014

Don't think so. Check the available physical RAM in Task Manager when stuttering begins to happen.

Robbingbob27 · Dec 13, 2014

I did what you said and it said I was using 6.83 GB of Ram when I have 8 and that was during watchdogs when the stuttering happened. could it be that I single channel memory rather than dual channel?

Robbingbob27 · Dec 13, 2014

I think my Ram may be the issue, after an extended amount of time gaming i saw that my memory got stuck running at about 4.4 while doing nothing, whereas before having gamed it was running at about 2.3 while doing nothing. Once i restarted my computer it went back down to 2.3 and my games won't stutter until i have played for a while.

Your power supply is also horrible, but that's another thread for another time.

TomThePotato :

I haven't had any problems with it, seems fine to me.

TomThePotato · Dec 14, 2014

It might seem "fine", but it's a Raidmax power supply and they're notorious for their horribly made power supplies.

Thats a helpful comment potato.

Definitely adding another module for dual channel and 16GB will improve performance quite a bit.

Also, make sure you have the RAM configured properly in BIOS to run at DDR3-1866. Once you get all that set up properly, you should notice a significant improvement. Keep us posted.

I had this problem when I upgraded my GPU to a 960, after a week of tinkering I found that disabling page file, turning off (not restarting) and starting the PC , enabling it again and setting it to "automatically manage paging..." applying and turning it of and on again fixed the stuttering I had, hopefully it works for you.
