9070xt Stuttering Solution
Hey guys my first post in reddit so, here it goes.
I had a stuttering problem with my 9070xt nitro+ and was going crazy because of it. So, it happens on desktop doing nothing, happens after restart, happens in game, happens everywhere everytime. After uninstalling drivers with ddu and reinstalling it starts happening again after a while. Returned to some old drivers it kept happening after a while so i couldn't find a solution for one or two weeks. It was driving me crazy I was even considering RMA'ing it or selling it and getting an NVIDIA card. Other than this one problem card was stable undervolting, overclocking, temps everything was fine but this one problem...
After tinkering a lot and trying many different things suggested by people on youtube, people on various internet sites and after long conversations with chatgpt and gemini I finally found the solution and It was never that complicated.
It was not the driver nor the power supply. It was my second monitor connected via HDMI. I have 2 monitors. One I share with my wife when she is sleeping or when she's not around I use that as a 2nd monitor via HDMI and other one is my main monitor connected by DP. At first the 2nd monitor was not connected to my pc so I was never having any issue. After connecting it via HDMI it was still OK because I was using it. But when she came back I changed my display settings to show only on monitor 1 and that's where it started. Apparently it makes something to go wrong and approximately every 13.5 seconds I get a stutter. So the solution was removing the cable from gpu while not using it. Seems either windows or amd couldn't figure out how to handle a 2nd monitor yet. So there it is. This is the only solution I could figure out. I would like to hear from you if you guys have this problem or have any different solution to it.
