Question

Problems running games

Feb 23, 2018 11:35PM PST

I linked a video to show what it is i am talking about, it doesn't matter my fps it always does this, here are my system specs,
CPU - I7 7700k (stock settings)
Cooler - Corsair H100i v2
Mobo - MSI Gaming M7 Z270
HDD - Samsung 850 Evo + 2tb Seagate firecuda
GPU - MSI GTX 1080ti gaming x trio (stock settings)
Ram - Trident Z RGB 3200mhz (using XMP)
PSU - EVGA Supernova G3 750watt 80 PLUS Gold
Keyboard - Logitech G910
Mouse - Razer Deathadder elite (also same results with a logitech G502)
Monitor - Acer XB241H + Asus PG248QE (both using display port connections, I have also tried using only one monitor.)

All hardware has been changed to new ones within the last 2 weeks LITERALLY everything.
Windows has been reinstalled multiple times, As well as all drivers (especially nvidia drivers using ddu)

Vsync does not solve this nor does Gsync.

I have changed polling rate of the mouse with same results.

Xbox game bar is disabled, as well as all game mode options.


All and any help would be appreciated as i am out of things to try and no more hardware to be replaced, not sure what could be causing this.

Clarification Request
I can't see what's wrong in the video.

Just a bunch of panning around and a little running. Seems like a nice enough PC so rather than make members guess what the issue is, please spell it out.

Sure my apologies,

I thought it would show up more noticeably on that video ( but it did not )

Basically when I turn at a high rate of speed the game will freeze for a tiny second. I've replaced ALL components in the PC, and have done fresh installs of windows a number of times, at this point i'm assuming it's a setting or SOMETHING I have no idea lol i'm at a loss.

That freeze is usually traced to HDD activity.

Changing to SSD as well as more ram helps here.

You have the usual setup with the OS on SSD is my bet with games on the HDD. Let's see your Web Speccy report so I can see the machine's health as well.

How is over at https://www.piriform.com/docs/speccy/using-speccy/publishing-a-speccy-profile-to-the-web

As to the fresh install of Windows, it's always followed up with drivers from the makers for motherboard, audio, video and such. NEVER use the Microsoft Update Driver button unless there is no other option.

While the 1080 should be fine with a pair of 1080 displays, test with one while you work this out.

I have tried using one monitor and get the same result, but for future testing will use only one

Well, that Seagate.

1. Look at SMART value 01. It's an very big number. That could be it.
07 isn't good either.

It only has 238 MB in use, maybe you can power off, unplug the cables to that drive and test again?

2. The GPU at 60C looks overly warm for what's going on. Try it with the case cover off for max cooling for now.

WHY?! Read http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3625756/1080-temp-throttle-points.html

3. A lot of connections in the network area. TURN THIS OFF. Read
