Description of Problem:
Hi everyone, I would like some help. I recently bought an RTX 2060 Gaming Z from MSI, intending to replace my GTX 1060 6 Gb OC from MSI too. The thing is, my games stutter has increased in general, and even though I had some stutter with the 1060, the 2060 seems to have it worse.
I have tried to do several tests, and I get quite confused because the stutter doesn't happen in all games, and kind of happens in some weird ways sometimes:
I have done the tests measuring with MSI afterburner and frametime graph and 1% and 0.1% Lows.
-Witcher 3 has stutter in an open area the first time I load after installing drivers, after running around the area, loading the save again, or restarting the game, the stutter is considerably reduced but still appears some times, but less frequent on the 1060 than the 2060. If I restart my computer and play, the stutter comes back but is way less that the first time after installing drivers. Same graphics settings both.
-Far Cry 5 benchmark always has stutter in some specific places the first time I run it, and the subsequent runs have way less stutter. This happens with both cards, but the 2060 has some more slight stutter still. If I restart my pc, the stutter comes back the first time with both cards. Same graphics settings both.
-Fortnite has stutter through the game in some parts, but the stutter is less in the 1060 than the 2060. Same graphics settings both.
-Forza Horizon 4 has no real stutter in both cards and my 2060 can push 4K with DSR and high settings without stutter.
-Destiny 2 has some fps drops and stutter in both cards but gameplay seems to be somewhat less smooth in the 2060. Same graphics settings both.
-Final Fantasy XV benchmark shows stutter in its first run with both cards, but improves significantly in the next runs, still, the 2060 has somewhat worse frame timing than the 1060. Same graphics settings both.
-Shadow of the tomb raider has no major stutter in the 2060 even at highest settings, and even though the 1060 has less fps, it doesnt show stutter either.
-Shadow of Mordor Benchmark has no stutter with either card even though it seems to have some kind of trouble using the 100% of the 2060, as sometimes it doesn't produce as much fps as it should and the usage sits below 90%.
-Apex Legends has no stutter with 2060 at the highest settings, where as the 1060 actually had some. Same graphics settings both.
-Overwatch didn't have any stutter with the 1060 and showed some stutter randomly with the 2060, even though it was fixed by clearing the standby memory cache in windows.
-Rage 2 has stutter in both cards while driving, but there is somewhat less stutter in the 1060. Same graphics settings both.
-Star wars Battlefront 2 has stutter some times in both cards.
-GTA V has no stutter in either card even at highest settings.
-3D Firestrike xtreme benchmark behaves the same way in both cards, having stutter at the beginning of some tests, but in overall stable.
-Timespy has no stutter in either card.
Troubleshooting:
-Using Intelligent Standby list Cleaner (Helped only with overwatch)
-Using high performance power settings in GPU (didn't really make much of a difference)
-Disabling, enabling HPET (didn't really make much of a difference)
-Using XMP in Bios (didn't really make much of a difference)
-Updating bios and chipset (didn't really make much of a difference)
-Using a Win10 fresh install (just validated it wasn't a software issue)
-I used also some different drivers, but in general the frame times of the 2060 were always worse than the 1060.
-Temps are fine, nothing beyond 75 degrees so I doubt its that.
-I did try to take the 2060 to warranty initially but where I live you can't do a simple RMA sending the card for a refund or something alike, you need to give the GPU, it gets tested, and if the find problems you get a replacement. But I was told the card worked normally in all their tests, even though I am not entirely sure how they measured performance exactly.
....Still I haven't been able to find exact problems I can blame on the card having hardware problems, as behavior is somewhat similar to my 1060 but kind of worse, and It could be blamed on drivers, or system compatibility of some sort.
I am not sure what to do, as I would need some exact proof or something to get a replacement.
