bond Villain Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi All, live just built a new PC. It’s a 13900k/4090 monster. I’m getting 144 FPS, I’ll get those for about 7 seconds then I get lag spike of about 20-30fps (lasting a few frames) then it goes back to 144Fps (monitor refresh rate) and this cycle repeats. how can I stop this. thank 13900k 6Ghz❘ Z790 Aorus Master ❘ 32GB 6000Mhz ❘ Nvidia 4090 Aorus Master ❘ Samsung G9 Neo Thrustmaster Warthog Stick & Throttle❘ MFG Crosswind V3 Rudder Pedals ❘ Streamdeck XL A10 ❘ F14 ❘ F16 ❘ F18 ❘ AV8BNA ❘ MIG21 ❘ MIG 29 ❘ SU33 ❘ P47D ❘ Spitfire ❘ FW190 ❘ BF109 ❘ AH-64D ❘ MI-24 Nevada ❘ Syria ❘ South Atlantic ❘ English Channel ❘ Normandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bond Villain Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 I’m thinking it might be iCue causing this 13900k 6Ghz❘ Z790 Aorus Master ❘ 32GB 6000Mhz ❘ Nvidia 4090 Aorus Master ❘ Samsung G9 Neo Thrustmaster Warthog Stick & Throttle❘ MFG Crosswind V3 Rudder Pedals ❘ Streamdeck XL A10 ❘ F14 ❘ F16 ❘ F18 ❘ AV8BNA ❘ MIG21 ❘ MIG 29 ❘ SU33 ❘ P47D ❘ Spitfire ❘ FW190 ❘ BF109 ❘ AH-64D ❘ MI-24 Nevada ❘ Syria ❘ South Atlantic ❘ English Channel ❘ Normandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKreator Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Possibly something easy like preload radius set to high eating up ram. DCS can eat 32 gigs pretty quickly, but with ddr5 it should be fast enough to compensate but maybe not.. just a thought.. Usually with32 gigs or less they recommend to setup 32 gig pagefile as well. I have 64 gigs and I’ve seen dcs chew up over 40 at times… in windows ( at least on windows 11) there’s a setting called hardware advanced gpu scheduling(HAGS, something to that effect) its recommended by several people to disable that. Not sure what it does really but its something to try. Thats a massive drop from 144 to the20/30s…. Hopefully someone has had a similar issue that will chime in. It sounds very frustrating. Might run the game with task manager window open and see if there’s a certain app or process thats randomly interfering, or being a cpu hog for those few seconds. I run icue on mine without any issues but I did read something the other day about icue interfering with some games.

bond Villain Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi, thanks for the reply. Closing iCue solves this, without it running it maintains 144 FPS with no drops.. 13900k 6Ghz❘ Z790 Aorus Master ❘ 32GB 6000Mhz ❘ Nvidia 4090 Aorus Master ❘ Samsung G9 Neo Thrustmaster Warthog Stick & Throttle❘ MFG Crosswind V3 Rudder Pedals ❘ Streamdeck XL A10 ❘ F14 ❘ F16 ❘ F18 ❘ AV8BNA ❘ MIG21 ❘ MIG 29 ❘ SU33 ❘ P47D ❘ Spitfire ❘ FW190 ❘ BF109 ❘ AH-64D ❘ MI-24 Nevada ❘ Syria ❘ South Atlantic ❘ English Channel ❘ Normandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'm even less impressed now. You might want to try switching off VSYNC and see what you get. 144 FPS is pretty poor for a 4090.

BitMaster Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Usually, the problems start when you use more than 1 software that queries the various chips on motherboard and GPU. For example, HWinfo64 and Aida64 may start acting up if you also have Asus AiSuite or similar apps from other board vendors are opened up and monitoring. Usually they also prompt you with this at some stage. Check what else runs and see.

Burt Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Had a buddy of mine this weekend that was having the same issue and I told him to try and disable HotPlug in the settings. It help and he’s not getting the spike lag issue.
