A few days ago I stumbled across a video from @DannyzReviews where he talked about stuttering issues on his AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D system, and found the cause to be related to MSI Afterburner. After watching the video I decided to have a look for myself and see if it is also impacting the 7800X3D.
AMDip is a term I absolutely hate, and it is also a term that is getting more and more traction recently. But what exactly causes it. Many people believe that it is due to the cache overflowing and when the cache resets, or flushes, that is when the AMDip occurs. But could MSI Afterburner actually be the cause of it? And if so, how do we fix MSI Afterburner causing stuttering issues? Also, how do we identify that it is in fact MSI Afterburner causing AMDip?
Is AMDip even real??
It's highly likely that this only affects Nvidia GPUs, and it also happens with CapFrameX. CapFrameX informed me that it's an issue with the NVAPI. The GPU in the video is a 4090. Also, my 12700K and 14600KF do not exhibit the same issue as my 7800X3D with MSI Afterburner, and I believe it is due to the e-cores. Due to time constraints I havent been able to test my Intel CPUs with e-cores disabled, but I will do so and update via a community post and via Twitter.
