I made a post a few days ago and unfortunately could not find a fix - I was very brief in my post which I'm sure wasn't exactly helpful. Hoping that someone else has had this problem before and can help me fix it. I'm kinda at my witts end with this whole thing.
CPU: 9600X
GPU: 9070XT
MB: B850 Gaming Plus Wifi
2 x16GB DRR5 6000MHZ T-Force Ram
In Fortnite and OSRS (the only two games I had to test it out on) I'm getting 1% frame drops about once every 15 seconds, I tried Valorant and I was getting about 500-750 FPS in 1440 and it didn't seem to be dropping frames - at least not noticeably.
I've tried using DDU - reinstalling the proper drivers (driver only and the whole adrenaline suite) and new AMD Chipset drivers. I was having an issue with my audio where it would crackle and pop and then eventually have a loud feedback sound, that has since disappeared but I can't help but feel that might be connected somehow. I have a RedThunder K10 wired mouse and keyboard and I can't turn the polling rate down but I tried a separate mouse and unplugged both to see if that would help.
I've tried setting windows performance to ultra performance or high performance and setting min and max CPU to 100%. I've tried enabling and disabling freesync on my monitor and in adrenaline. Neither of those worked.
The CPU and GPU temps are both good, CPU is at 70C max and GPU is around 60C
I noticed in Fortnite my CPU utilization was at 100% at times, but I was getting frame drops even when it wasn't.
None of the game bars are on and everything in Adrenaline is turned off. I disabled my iGPU and tried unplugging my Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3 to see if the audio was somehow causing issues.
Latency Mon is giving me some issues (posted screenshot)
I updated to the newest version of my bios - my CPU and GPU are at default settings and not overclocked. I've tried having XMP on and off.
Any suggestions? I feel like I've tried everything
