Graphics card stuttering

invento123 · Jun 22, 2018

I have a gigabyte gtx 1050 ti with severe stuttering issues. When I first purchased the 1050 about a year ago it ran great. However for the last 6 or 7 months It's been plagued with problems. The first time I noticed anything wrong is when I decided to overclock it a small amount, about 150mhz on the core and 275mhz on the memory. I then loaded up tf2 for it to freeze and windows to pop up saying application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware. Long story short, I tried everything I could possibly imagine and everything I googled until I eventually completely reinstalled windows 10 and it finally worked as when I originally installed it.

Back to today I was listening to music while playing CS:GO, it began stuttering. Every few seconds it'll freeze for a frame or two and continue on no matter what Im doing. I decided to close it and watched some netflix and again every few seconds it would freeze. I shutdown my computer and again same results with netflix, tf2, and CS:GO. No overclock on it ever since I reinstalled windows a few months ago. At this point I have no idea what is wrong with my 1050 or if it may just be a bad graphics card. In addition, the 1050 has zero heating issues never going above 60C

I have a few gt 1030's, a hd 5450, and even a gts 250 that all run flawlessly in my system so Im afraid it is just the 1050. If anyone has any ideas on how to maybe fix it or what might be wrong with it I would love any and all advice!

System:

FX-8350

12gb Crucial Ballistix ram

240gb Samsung 850 evo

1tb Toshiba HDD

Gigabyte 970A-UD3P

Corsair CX750M

It could be your CPU. Stuttering issues are usually caused by the CPU, not the GPU. The GPU's you tested are so slow they weren't able to push the CPU enough to cause the problem. Check the temps on your CPU.

Edit: I'd suggest testing the card in another PC if you can. If it works well there, it's probably your processor or PSU; if not, then you'll probably have to RMA or replace it.

Good luck.

Edit (again): Checking the CPU temps as suggested is probably the first thing that you should do.

How long from reinstalling win10 till the lag started again?

My suspicion is Win10 and updates. Updates that found its way to you eventually. Your previous gpus could have ran great before new update additions. Have you tried them recently?

What video driver version are you running? Try 391xx versions.

Thanks for the suggestions! Ill try the 1050 in another one of my systems!

Also Im using whatever the latest nvidia drivers are.

Be 397 series drivers yeah. Something to try, try the 391 drivers is what i meant.

Reason i suggested is because the few iterations of 397 drivers i tried few months back gave me issues. Issues where games would eventually crash or if i exit any game windows would be choppy with lag. Reverting back to 391 even while in this state came good. But this is Win7 though, 1080Ti.

I don't think win10s version of 397 drivers are a problem but anything could have changed.

Sure enough just as you said, reverting back to 391.35 drivers and my 1050 ti was working like new! Thank you for your advice and help guys!
