Hello everyone! My configuration: Ryzen 5 5600x with Radeon Rx 6600xt, using ripjaws version 2x8 on DDR4 3200 MHz. While playing Fortnite I notice a noticeable jump in frame time every 15 seconds on average. This makes the game feel very difficult to play, and my system never exceeds 80% usage. What I've tried so far: installed all necessary drivers, enabled XMP, turned off DRAM frequency, disabled extra settings in AMD Radeon software, set GPU minimum clock speed to 100 MHz below maximum allowed, increased GPU power limit. I've also experimented with CPU overclocking, but it only improves benchmarks and causes more stuttering in Fortnite. My CPU and GPU usage stays around 80%, RAM usage is about 8 GB, frame rate fluctuates between 90-120 FPS. I've made some basic tweaks like disabling Game Mode and using the Ultimate Power Plan. Adjusting settings to lower values reduces stutter but drops FPS too much; raising them helps FPS but worsens stutter. Right now I'm stuck somewhere in the middle. My settings aren't too low for severe stutter, yet not high enough for smooth gameplay. If anyone has similar problems or thinks they can assist, please let me know!

Have you explored these other rendering methods from the standard settings? You can find them near the bottom of the graphics configuration panel.

Direct X 12 offers the highest FPS while Direct X 11 provides smoother performance. Performance mode results in the most stuttering because it lowers all settings, causing more stuttering for me.

Share a video of what you observe. Confirm your ISP isn't responsible for these problems—ping spikes and dropped packets are possible. Try the tools at https://www.pingplotter.com/ and https://packetlosstest.com/ to verify your network stability.

I'm not at home, so I don't have a video feed, but my internet connection is consistently fast—about 30 milliseconds with no significant fluctuations.
