Hello, guys. I Got a 9800X3D last week and i have ran into some problems since. I do get high framerates (above 100 FPS) in games such as Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake (not Rebirth, didnt try it) and Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales, with good 1% low (usually above 80 FPS) and a nice frametime, but the experience does not feel smoothly. It's like, sometimes, when i turn my camera quickly, i see a little of choppiness here and there that are not registered on the frametime nor in the FPS counter.

Before this scenario mentioned above, i had a really bad performance on Lost Judgment with a bad frametime, Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales wasnt doing a good frametime with Ray-Tracing On and some other performance issues. The things just got better when i entered in the BIOS and disabled SMT and PBO, but it still feel choppy, like i said. Here is my full setup:

  • Gigabyte B650M Gaming Wi-Fi
  • AMD Ryzen 7 9800XD3D
  • AMD Radeon RX 7700XT
  • 32 GB (2x16) memory Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 6000 (I use with AMD EXPO 1 enabled)
  • Watercooler Aorus Gigabyte Waterforce II 240
  • SSD WD_BLACK SN850X 2 TB
Do you guys have any idea about what to do? Thanks for your time and sorry if this isnt the right place to this thread

Also, i forgot to mention i still see some random spikes in the FF7's Remake frametime and that i am not using MSI Afterburner for monitoring, i am using CapFrameX, but even with it turned off the problems will still appear

I had this issue on Valorant, it turned out it was my mouse signal wasnt good enough (2.4 dongle was under my steel desk) so would cause micro stutters whenever I moved the camera.

Have you tried testing only with monitor mouse and kb wired in?

I am using a DisplayPort connection and playing in 1440p. My display supports FreeSync Premium and have 165Hz.

I am not sure if my mouse would be the problem because i noticed these issues when playing on gamepad too

I gotta update my BIOS, i didn't yet.

------------------------------------------------------

Another small update to my case. After disabling the PBO and SMT, things got a lot better, but i still see some spikes in FF7 Remake, although it is running a lot better now that i limited it to 90 FPS. I must say read the game have a bad port for PC with microstutterings and i did not test it before with my previous build.

Yesterday, my problems got back at night with some games and rebooting the computer made things normal again. I think my bettter solution now is to update my BIOS, although i am able play and i am afraid of new issues doing that.

FF7 Remake will have two types of stutter - traversal stutter that will not go away and shader compilation stutter that should disappear after specific shaders are compiled for the first time.

For other games - what's your GPU load when playing at high framerate?

Put everything back to stock,no axmp , update bios, don’t run msi in the background and play without monitoring software. See if it stutters still.

Use the AMD Overlay and see if that works.

Yeah update the bios first, but before you just update, clear cmos and load factory defaults. Also some say hpet can cause a problem, even tpm...

Next time you play with gamepad disconnect the mouse from PC entirely (the usb plug).
Sometimes can cause issues even if you dont touch the mouse.

Few you thing you can try from all the threads I found relating to the 9800X3D.
Disable X3D gaming mode in the bios if its enabled.
Disable Fast Startup in windows settings.
Lower mouse polling rate to 1000hz if you happen to have a higher polling rate mouse.

Apart from that you can do the usual other supposed fixes that can help with stuttering like.
Disabling Hardware gpu acceleration in the display setting under the graphics settings
Disable all overlays (steam,discord,Nvidia/shadowplay) and third party software like ICUe.

There's also a thread on reddit similar to what you described.He went trough the stages of trouble shooting in the comments.
