Thank you sir I will do that.

Well gents I did a quick soft line tubing and put the gpu directly into the mother board. NO FKN CHANGE BOYS. I am really out of answers now. The last thing I can think of is this amd bios issue everyone keeps speaking of. Bossco do you get any stuttering on DCS? 3WA- not sure how to do that. Can you provide steps please?

Reece- I have the PCIE set to gen 3 and no change Bossco- I turned GPU Scheduling off, no change. I also set DCS as high priority, no change. That all being said, this was not an issue until i water cooled the PC and put the riser in. I first had a EKWB Gen 3 Riser Cable and swapped it for the above one. I have the same issue with both. I used to have a 2080 Super and a 3800x with the same MoBo with a Cable mod riser cable and had issues other video issues. I put the 2080 Super back into the MoBo and it solved the issue. So my gut is saying its the riser cable. That being said, should I just be patient and wait for these manufactures to solve the issue through software or just bite the bullet and get rid of the riser. I do not know if this is a big enough deal for them to fix IE how many people is this affecting. I also know about the current USB issues with the 5000 series CPU's which I think it has something to do with the current AGESA version in the BIOS. Thanks all for your time with this issue. It is much appreciated. Please let me know what you think.

LINKUP - Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable [RTX3090 x570 B550 RX6900XT Tested] Shielded High-Speed Vertical Mount Gaming PCI Express Gen4 2021┃Universal 90 Degree Socket {20cm} 3.0 Gen3 Compatible This is the one I purchased from Amazon.

I have excluded the game from my antivirus, put the autoconfig file in, and capped the Mhz to 120 and 60, nothing helped. Since it only started this after I installed the riser card in, I am almost sure its that. I will never buy another Gigabyte MoBo again. Any chance this issue will go away with future bios/vbios/driver updates?

Bossco, I did some research and found that resizable bar feature isn’t yet available for 3080. Just 3060 and 30 series laptops. Nvidia said that a new vbios update for all 30 series cards will be available late March some time.

One more thing, I turned on the task manager when it began to stutter to try and see if there was a program running with DCS. And of course, when I have the task manager open on the screen while the game plays, stutter goes away. No sure what that means.

Bossco, 1. No I haven’t I will do that 2. Yes all games except DCS run okay. I play star citizen, no issues. 3.I do have track IR. I have ran the game without it on and still have the same issue 4. Game mode is off, I don’t know what a scheduling is. Can you explain? 5. I don’t know how to change that in my bios, can you direct me to that setting? 6. I have turned hot plug off and also installed the .exe, doesn’t help. Svsmokey, I have caped the frame rate all the way down to 60fps. Same thing happens. Does not help. Both if you thank you for taking the time to help me out. Very much appreciated. I would buy you a bottle of your choice if I could. Haha.

I have changed my bios to gen 3 and nothing. Even bought a gen 4 riser card and changed the bios to gen 4, no change. I have done DDU, no change. Vsync, no change. On a hunch I just think the riser card is the issue. Like I said, the first 10 seconds are stable, 144 fps. Then its start to jump and stutter. I really don't want want to change how my gpu works. Spent a lot of money on the EK water block for it not to mount it vertically. I can run Star Citizen no issues. Its just DCS that has stuttering. Very frustrating.

Tried that. It does not work. I have been back and forth with ED for about a month now and they don't have answer for me at this point.

Yea I am thinking it is probably the riser card. I have a gigabyte mother board x570. Never had luck with riser cards with it. It’s just a pain cause it’s hard line tube. I’ll have to re-do the hard tubing. Thanks

Forgot to add the 3080 is on a Gen 4 PCIe riser card

To anyone that can help, I am having and issue with game stuttering. For the first 5-10 seconds of starting a single player game in both the stable and beta versions, my game begins to stutter. FPS is stable at 144fps on high settings then starts to jump around anywhere from 125 to 180 FPS. This is causing a 1-2 second stutter in my game. I have done everything from set FPS in nvidia control, reinstall, try playing on low settings, just about everything. Here is my set up 5900x x570 Aorus Master game is on M.2 Samsung Evo 3080 FE WINDOWS 10 144hz Monitor Any help would be much appreciated.
