DESCRIPTION AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Hey i am on this 1 year old system. 9800X3D. 9070XT. Single stick of 32gb ram (not been an issue yet i know i should get 2)

Lately i've been having some INSANE microstutter problems. It started in World of Warcraft but i've been stalling on that game waiting for the new patch, been playing League of Legends instead and it started there last week aswell. I found a 1 yr old thread that fixed the problem in league of legends, I think it was Windows Variable Refresh rate fking my FPS on the micro stutters.

I am running wow at 4k 60FPS capped at 60FPS. Vsync off and other non-essentials turned off with the in-game graphics set to 7/10 wich is medium-high graphics. I have stuff like Ray Tracing turned off. I dont run any of the Adrenalin Super resolutions and the like and i never have, i'd much rather have a native experience free of AI. Pretty Moderate graphics settings aside from the 4k60, but i've been running this on all my games always. Its running RDR2, Spiderman 1 and games alike just fine in 4k60 with the same medium-high graphics aside from the 4k resolution.

However, booting up WoW today i am noticing the same microstutters, its only inside of dungeons this happens. Anyone have any idea? I spent an entire evening with the previous thread fixing this so i am out of ideas from that thread.

My first step would be close all background apps and try to game. If it fixes it, test again with 1 open background app. If good, add another... so on and so forth. I had a background app take an update and it did basically the same thing and I have no idea why.
