Hello all,

I recently upgraded my GPU from a ROG RTX 3090 to a PNY RTX 4080 Super. Prior to my installation I removed all old GPU drivers via DDU. I installed my new card, the associated drivers and everything was working fine. I restarted my PC after running some benchmarks and verifying everything was working properly which is was. Upon restarting I immediately noticed a very predominant lag and stutter from the moment I signed in and in every program I attempted to run. I was running games at 20-30 FPS with a 4080S.

I uninstalled all drivers via DDU and safe startup, reinstalled the previous drivers with a clean install and voila, it was working perfectly again. I restarted my PC once again to see if it was just a fluke. It wasn’t.

I’m at a point where whenever I shut off my PC and restart it I have to go into safe mode, completely wipe my drivers, go back and reinstall them just to perform basic tasks like opening a browser without seeing spiking GPU and CPU usage with an average frame rate of 20-30.

System specs below
Ryzen 9 5900x @ 3.7 GHz
64GB DDR4
Windows 11
PNY RTX 4080 Super
ASUS B550-Plus AC-HES

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

PSU and RAM not likely to be involved then.

Download then run Speccy ( free ) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Operating System

First thing that was noticed was that since Windows 11 was installed not a single driver has been installed, see first canned info below;

Once Windows has been clean installed you must then install first the MBs chipset drivers then the storage/SATA drivers and third the graphics drivers, the drivers can either come from a disk provided by the motherboard manufacturer ** or downloaded from their site and saved to a flash drive etc, this is a must and Windows should not be allowed to check for updates before it has been done as more often than not Windows installs the wrong drivers or in the incorrect order and this can cause all sorts of problems.

The reason why this procedure is so important, the chipset is what enables the MB to be able to communicate with all the hardware + are the first drivers that Windows looks for on boot.

See my second canned info below;

Once Windows has been installed, you install the necessary drivers for the MB and other hardware and then leave well alone, drivers should not be allowed to auto update and you should never update any driver/s unless the new drivers are intended to resolve a specific issue that you are having, installing new drivers unnecessarily can actually cause you the very issues that any new drivers are intended to resolve and uninstalling the new drivers may not resolve the problem/s that installing the new drivers has caused.

Depending on priority it can take many months before the driver provider releases any fix and depending on the age of the hardware or software concerned they sometimes do not even bother or may have already announced an end of support.

Using a wireless connection for gaming is not a good idea and the problems that you are having explains why.
