Stuttering in games, and bad performance. What i have tried. Changing the Settings From High to Low in games like CSGO, Valorant, League of Legends doesn't improve my fps or the stuttering. I have these random stutters during the games. On this rig my LOL fps is not going above 120 and it goes down till 90, on CSGO its from 200-300, on both games there is stuttering ingame. What i have also noticed is that the GPU Usage is always going from 0 - 100%. The temperatures of both GPU and CPU are good under 65C. What i have done is (updating BIOS, changed XMP Profile for the ram to 2933mhz, Disable TPM, Remove the motherboard battery, checked the pins of the cable to the GPU, Reinstalled windows from 11 to 10, overclock the CPU, DDU on the GPU Drivers and reinstalling them, the PC is in high-performance mode. No viruses as i ran many tests. I have disabled game bar. I have changed the dpi cable to HDMI and around, i have changed the hz from 170 to 144/120/90. Also i have reinstalled windows 10 full, without internet, installed the drivers Chipset first, then GPU etc.

After all this i noticed when playing CSGO offline (disconnecting the lan cable) i get no stutters.

what was the different network provider?
another modem or another Internet Service Provider?

let's get a Speccy report and see the full state of the PC.
get Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot (hit Yes if prompted to proceed with publish) > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into your next post.

I will post snapshot now. I have tried with different GPU too, it's stuttering still. About the internet (i have tried on different network provider which is local here where i live, with another modem and another cable.
 
#8
nothing alarming from the Speccy report that I could see.

post a screenshot of a speedtest.net test.

how are you connecting to the network; ethernet cable or wireless?
how do both internet provisions come into the building; is one copper or fibre and the other wireless?
 
#9
Both of them are copper, im connected via etherned but as i said i have tried wireless also with USB wifi stick (some people with similar PC setup have like 350 fps on Leagueoflegends, and i got like 150 average).

FPS drops are not my thing per say, as I'm not a gamer.
all I can add is if you have your PC as lean and clean as you can make it, that's part of the battle.
sadly, the other parts may be outside your control like; number of users of your network, bandwidth, line attenuation, signal to noise ratio, etc.

but things you can control are;
• reboot modem/router/pc
• delete restore points
• turn off hibernation
• empty web browser cache
• delete system temp files
• scan Windows for system corruption
• scan drive for file corruption
• disable unwanted scheduled tasks
• disable unnecessary startup services
• disable scheduled defragging
• TRIM any SSD's
• turn off Timeline and Activity History, and all things Microsoft Telemetry based
• empty recycle bin
• delete log files and error reports
• remove old Windows Updates files
• cleanup software installer and distribution caches
• delete unwanted programs
• remove any browser extensions
• if connecting via wireless, try ethernet
• pause any online cloud storage synchronising (OneDrive, DropBox)

CCleaner or Glary Disk Cleaner or the inbuilt cleanmgr command can do most of those points.
ShutUp10 by O&O Software can stop a lot of telemetry items.

other things to try;
  • create another user account and login under that profile
  • check for firmware updates for modem/router and PC BIOS
run these from an elevated command prompt
  • chkdsk c: /r
  • sfc /scannow
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase

that 660 upload latency in the speedtest screen shot is a bit sad.
can you do another, for comparison, they do tend to fluctuate from minute to minute.
also log onto you modem's config menu and look for the status page that mentions line attenuation and signal to noise ratio - post those values as well.

as stated, not being a gamer, I never need to worry about FPS rates, which seem to be the Holy Grail of gaming!

let's get some more eyes on this - @PeterOz @Malnutrition @georgeks @Bastet

What speed are you paying for?
Is the pc connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
What version of Windows 10 - 21H2 or 22H2?
Are the graphics card drivers up to date?
Have you tried restarting the modem/router? It is possible for two users of the same isp to have different outcome as to whether a problem is experienced due to many things - router/modem differences, firmware, cables etc.
Can you try a friends internet connection (not on the same isp) to see if the problem remains?

The speed is usually 3mb/s because i have full packet with tv and other things, my friends have the same network provider too and they dont have ant problems. Gpu is up to date, windows 22h2, i have restarted the router and i have tried different internet provider(woth different ethernet cable and modem) too. Im connected via etherned also i hace tried via wifi usb stick

"The system cannot find the path specified", an error from cmd as i type the following: ipconfig /all > "%UserProfile%\Desktop\IP Address.txt"
i did ipconfig /all.

Your friends may have the same ISP but unless they also have the same broadband package & PC components then we can’t say the ISP isn’t at fault.

As i said i tried of different internet provider that has speeds like 60 download and 80 upload on speedtest.net
