Had regular frame drops/stutters with a 1080Ti (see clips, below). Happened about 2-4 times every match. As you can see, it only lasted a split second, but it was still very distracting. This only happened in Rocket League; no issues in other games.

Recently upgraded to a 2080Ti NVLink SLI setup, and now Rocket League is buttery smooth. Haven't experienced even one hiccup with it in well over a month. Everything else in my PC stayed the same.

But, the question is: why? Obviously, Rocket League isn't so GPU intensive that it needed the added power (it only pushed the 1080Ti to ~50%). I'm hesitant to write it off as a defective GPU, too, because I didn't have any other problems with that card and I have several friends who suffered, and still suffer, similar issues.

Could this be a Pascal issue that isn't present with the new, Turing GPUs? Does it have something to do with the SLI configuration (I have the second GPU set to do PhysX calculations, exclusively, now, if that might matter)? Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Any ideas? Have several friends experiencing this problem. Would love to find a fix for them that isn't just, "Go out and buy two 2080Tis," lol. Still have the 1080Ti, too, if there's any testing I can do that might help.

Do you have performance graphs that show what happens in-game? And does this stuttering occur when you're not streaming?

I would try going into the Nvidia Control Panel and setting your Performance Settings for Rocket League to prefer maximum performance. It's possible that since your GPU sat 50% usage, it wasn't reacting appropriately to spikes in demand.
