AMD processors with 3D V-Cache, such as Ryzen 7 7800X3D or 9800X3D, are considered one of the best for gaming due to their huge L3 cache. But even such chips allow unpleasant stuttering and pinging in games. It turned out that it can be fixed by simple manipulations. The solution, as it turned out, is right in the BIOS settings. It is enough to manually activate the Global C-State Control parameter. By default it is set in ?Auto? mode, but with X3D chips this parameter is in ?Off? mode. This, in turn, prevents Windows from properly managing the cores, especially on dual-chip processors (CCDs) where V-Cache is only available on one of them. The C-State feature is responsible for power conservation by ?putting unused parts of the processor to sleep?. However, when Windows can't correctly determine which cores should be active for gaming, lags and jerks occur. Enabling this setting eliminates freezes and helps the system better distribute the load. Testing has shown that in synthetic tests like AIDA64 the result may not change, but in real games many users have already noticed a positive effect. This is especially true for those who have CPPC enabled and have noticed problems with selecting a ?gaming? core. |
