New system GTX 1080 + R7 1700 stuttering over a month day yes day no, please help tried everything

Hello guys, I don't really know what more to do, I have stuttering in games with my new build MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X and Ryzen 7 1700. Basically half a day have stuttering and another half day I don't have stuttering, it doesn't makes sense. If a day I don't have stuttering, next day I wake up & turn on PC for gaming and ofc I have stuttering. Also on some games have more than others, i.e BDO is the worst with when I have stuttering is unbareable but on Overwatch is barely noticeable and on Robocraft noticeable only 0.1 secs each tons of time when I have stuttering.
It doesn't matter the intensive graphics, even if you're looking at a wall or sky or only walking, If I have stuttering it will drop.
I've tried almost everything you can find on the Internet;

  • Ryzen power balance plan
  • high performance plan
  • old nvidia drivers, ddu
  • reinstalling Windows, 2 times, one as uefi
  • csm disabled
  • old bios, new bios
  • antivirus, no antivirus
  • every ram speed from 2133 to 3466 MHz and latency, bankgroup swap and gear down, also power down (disabled and enabled)
  • hci memtest, windows mem test(no problem both)
  • latencymoon (said no problems)
  • c6 disabled, cool & quiet disabled, Overclock
  • bought new psu
  • sleeved cables and psu cables

Here its a screnshot of MSI Afterburner while playing: http://i.imgur.com/UG0aveC.png

Seriously I was playing this game fine on my old rig i5-760 and r9 280x.

Did you try on stock speeds no overclocking aswell.

Also you could eventually take out the Nvidia gpu and put your 280X in the system.
install the AMD drivers, and try if you still notice any stuttering.
This to determine if the problem is with the system, or maybe the gpu / driver.

Yeah tried both OC and stock speeds. Sadly I sold it and I don't have any gpu to try :frowning: a friend could lend me his gpu but for some hours only and that doesn't works for me because sometimes I don't have stuttering almost the full day...
Also looking at MSI afterburner, when I have stuttering, GPU Load goes to 99% on that instant, voltage limit 0(instead of 1) and no load limit 1

maybe it's Ethereum mining malware

I formatted and reinstalled Windows 10 2 times, also ran avast , windows defender and malwarebytes

Do you still have that old 280X because it'd be good to know if its GPU/Driver problem or if the whole system is turd

No sadly, I sold it, if I can't fix this problem Ill order one from amazon and return it if it isn't problem

Missed that you said that already, have you tried to disable all Nvidia social features and Win10 game things?

Win10 game things, Settings -> Gaming

Nvidia stuff you have to Google yourself :smiley:

Only thing about nvidia thing I have enabled is geforce experience because I like to use, and I know people say its crap but I like shadowplay to record, and on w10 I tried disabling the game mode and the game dvr record

Thoughts:
60% MSI 1080 bad choice, flash custom bios
30% Don't let Win 10 update drivers, install manually

Edit: What I mean by flash custom bios is, flash a non MSI bios to your card (only if you feel like it). Also your asrock killer is one of the most expensive boards that does not have BLCK overclocking, you should have gotten the taichi or if you don't care about the clock gen, B350

I would look at the Ram settings, I didn't see Galex listed and all the ram that is supported seems much slower

I bought offbrand mem myself for my FX build however yours seem top shelf, anyhow have you tried downclocking the ram?

Atleast the Asrock forum seems better then the MSI forum and the whole ss/ds thing is new to me

Hope this helps, gosh that build looks expensive compared to mine and hate to see anyone spend that much and have problems

Yeah I've thought on flashing the bios as well but mine is the latest updated(more new)

Tried RAM speeds from 2133 MHz to 3466 MHz and all of them didn't help the stuttering. My friend have the same RAM as me and a msi tomahawk, gtx 960 and r5 1600 and plays this game fine :confounded:

Have you got a frame target set in the nVidia settings? I tried this and had horrible results on my 1070 and had to turn it back off.

Hm I looked on the application 3d configuration and I don't see any option for frame target, I have default nvidia settings.

btw I tried the 10 hours test of battlefield 1 and I also have stuttering there... here its frametime as well: http://i.imgur.com/F5Md2nL.png

I think it's in GeForce Experience? I'll check when I'm home this evening and see where I found that, it might have also been in my EVGA software (also not a great software - I really miss the Radeon app).

Are you enabling beta tested graphics drivers on GeForce? You may want to go to an older driver.

Guys tell me how this makes sense? I got a black contrast glitch, I changed the HDMI cable(which was brand new with the samsung monitor) for an older one I had and for now Im not having stuttering? (tomorrow is the last test huh)

Nvidia driver has its own color setting and it used to default for lower, RGB Limited?

Yes, it was in here in the EVGA Precision XOC software, sorry. I checked to see if there was anything in Afterburner but didn't find it. I refuse to have GeForce Experience installed so can't check there either unfortunately but I believe there's a setting for it, so if you have it installed I would suggest checking there as well.

Cheap or defective cables can have odd effects, hopefully this is all it was.
