I recently built a new gaming rig. After installing all the drivers for mobo, gfx, ssd, updating the bios for the mobo, and any other programs i could think of i started to play some games. As I started playing "Dark and Light" (Ark 2.0) i noticed when ever i would load the game the loading screen would stutter and the FPS would drop to 2-3 ish. My discord would start to lag and i would come across as a robot, as would my friends. When watching a video on youtube the video would lag but the audio would be fine. While in the game everything worked fine, only when loading into the game or into a server would i get this fps drop and discord lag.
My cpu are around 30% to 40% and ram around 30% usage when loading. The cpu and gpu temps look fine.
I even tried launching the game with different launch parameters in steam "-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -novsync" to not only work on that stutter but to also get better FPS in game, the FPS increased but nothing for the stutter. When in game i get around 40-70 fps depending.
I tested it with Ark: Survival evolved to see if maybe it was just DnL and maybe Ark was better optimized but it also did the same lag. I tried a couple other games and did not notice this lag.
I also tested it on my gaming laptop and with DnL and Discord there were no issues, the loading screens did not stutter and no lag on discord which leads me to believe its something im missing or perhaps the engine hates AMD.
If you could lead me toward any solutions, or tests i could run to hunt down the issue that would be great.
