Stuttering and Input Lag persisting after clean install of Windows 10

Lyc___ · Aug 12, 2016

I'm kinda at my wits end so I'm trying my luck here, maybe someone had a similar issue..

Specs

System: http://i.imgur.com/dLBL4oY.png

Graphics: http://i.imgur.com/RrfW2fw.png (not sure why it shows 60hz, maybe it only detects my second monitor?)

List of Symptoms:

- slight to medium input lag that is noticeable in every game (mostly cs:go) while VSYNC and other post processing is turned off in both in-game and AMD's settings

- games seem to stutter although I'm achieving high fps (300+), it feels like I'm sometimes playing on 60hz instead of 144hz and sometimes even around 5hz. On Desktop it is however noticeable that 144hz is active.

- When opening file explorer sometimes I can hear the HDD "waking up" and the explorer opens like 5 seconds later. Afterwards it opens instantaneously until it has been inactive for a bit.

- Fairly high count of hard pagefaults: http://i.imgur.com/RRfoMzP.png (LatencyMon)

I already tried:

- clean installing windows 10 off a boot file
- another monitor
- another mouse
- another USB hub
- unparking CPU cores (before I clean installed)
- Using RadeonPro to force Vsync off and change Flip Queue Size to 0/1
- Updating/Downgrading AMD Crimson Drivers
- Updating Mouse Firmware/Software

I have not yet tried replacing Computer Hardware as that is hard for me to do so right now because I have no replacements, so I'm looking for input what could be the most likely cause of this.

Thanks for your time.

1, those aren't your system specs, not in a real useful manner. If you don't actually know them, use Speccy to find out:

2, you are gonna have to find out when GPU you actually have as the r9 200 series is like 7-10 different cards.

3, what is the model of your monitor?

4, what are your CPU and GPU temperatures while gaming? You may be overheating.

5, Hard Page faults are a problem with Memory/RAM.

The performance of applications will suffer when there is insufficient RAM and excessive hard page faults occur. It is imperative that hard page faults are resolved in a timely fashion so that the process of resolving the fault does not unnecessarily delay the program’s execution.

1. I was aware of Speccy but kinda forgot about it, here's the summary page: http://i.imgur.com/imMMbEd.png feel free to ask for the other tabs in case you need them

2. It's a Gigabyte r9 280x

3. The main one is an LG 24GM77

4. While the temperatures of the AMD card are usually pretty up there, it never gave me issues previously either so I'm skeptical if it's actually the temperatures..

5. I've read through some of the hard page faults but so far I couldn't find any other fix besides "install more RAM" so I was gonna ask here first before concerning myself with upgrading to 16GB

Hope this helped

Is your card idling at 53c?
That's pretty high, in use it may be getting up to like 90c+ and that will cause it to slow down so as not to be permanently damaged.
There aren't fixes for bad ram besides new ram, and I feel like you might have bad ram.
