Zotac 4070 Super/7800X3D Stutters

[jimjam707]

Hello! First post so please shout if I've missed any details/anything that could help. As requested, PC specs are listed in my profile.

Built this PC about 9 months ago, originally with a 2070 Super in it but upgraded late last year when I got a good deal on a 4070 Super which I thought might eliviate some of the stuttering I was seeing in the games I play (Fortnite, League of Legends, Counter-Strike) but no such luck. Here are some CapFrameX results showing 0.1% lows and frametime spikes I'm finding offputting when playing games on this PC.

League of Legends (admittidly, not as stuttery as I've seen it in this run but it is a very light game)

Here's some HWInfo caps after:

30mins of Cinebench's Multicore CPU render test

30mins of repeated Black Myth Wukong benchmark runs (These were very spiky in the results!)
(C - State Residency)

So far I've tried the following with little to no success (no judgements on the slightly more superstitious attempts here, reaching a point where I'll try anything):

• Installed latest chipset drivers from AMD site
• Reseating GPU
• Reseating RAM
• Replacing RAM
• Unplugging onboard audio
• Unplugging front-panel USB
• Disabling AMD EXPO
• Unplugging Ethernet
• Disabling "Power" monitoring in MSI Afterburner (and other heavy to measure metrics)
• Updated BIOS to the latest version
• Fixed some error logs that were popping up in Event Viewer
  • One from a Windows App that needed reinstalling
  • One from a Logitech service I've disabled
• Cleared Shader Cache directory
• Removed GPU driver with DDU and reinstalled
• Disabled GSync

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated to lead me out of this rabbit hole, thank you in advance!

You aren't the only 1 with a 4070 and stuttering.

Use the Search function on this page for Stutter, stutters, stuttering and there are multiple ways to skin a cat.

I wonder if windows has anything to do with it

Well if you prefer the smoothness and willing to sacrifice a little bit of performance, try disabling Core Boost in the BIOS (your 7800X3D will run at constant 4.2ghz)

Try overclocking + Undervolting your 4070 Super, in MSI Afterburner set the Core Clock to +150mhz and set a fix clock at 950mV
Here is my guide to overclock+undervolting
