Does Frametime increase and stutter occur during an AMD configuration?
Does Frametime increase and stutter occur during an AMD configuration?
Yes, this is true. But then you can't be 100% sure it's not the overlay causing the issue. Overlays can ping your CPU (polling rate) many times a second.
Turn the overlay off, play the game, and 'feel' if it's better or worse. You have to try it to be sure.
Maybe try MSi afterburner instead.
On Windows 11, verify that it's current too. Microsoft has issued an update to enhance AMD performance.
Stuttering is generally due to a brief shortage of an essential component.
Typically the CPU is involved.
You might be experiencing this because higher priority tasks are consuming your CPU resources.
I think if you can't identify stuttering without a monitoring tool, it might not be such a serious issue.
Native 1440p resolution. Freesync is enabled on both the driver and monitor controller. I generally enjoy a smooth experience about 95% of the time, but occasionally a significant spike occurs that disrupts immersion. To maintain a smoother experience, I cap at 60 FPS as recommended in this blurbustersguide for optimal gameplay.
Yes, but if you limit it to 60 and your 1% lows are below 48, you'll face noticeable stutters. You're using a 6800XT. It's time to let your system shine and boost performance. I suspect your GPU usage is quite low. This is what I would do.
Enable freesync (VRR/Adaptive Sync). Remove any games or system files. At full native 1440p, your GPU can handle high FPS in those titles. Restricting GPU FPS won't improve the experience if you already have a powerful GPU. It's surprising that some people would advise restraining such a capable machine. Allowing your games to run faster will result in smoother gameplay, and combined with freesync, should deliver excellent fluidity.
