Exploration of stuttering within Hogwarts Legacy
Exploration of stuttering within Hogwarts Legacy
Hello, I'm dealing with stuttering while playing Hogwarts Legacy. My frame rate stays around 100 FPS inside the game, but it drops to 0 when I check my system. The GPU and CPU usage in Task Manager are at 0%. This issue only happens in other games. Temperatures are normal—about 60°C on the CPU and 70°C on the GPU. I switched graphics settings from low to ultra, but the problem persists. I lowered the resolution from 1440p to 1080p, yet it didn't help. I've adjusted settings in some games with DLSS and others I found online, but nothing resolves it. It either increases FPS or drops to around 80. I have the latest GPU drivers, and I disabled Windows Defender, yet the stuttering continues. I've checked files and searched the internet, but nothing concrete works. The game is currently unplayable. My specs are: CPU Ryzen 7 5800X, GPU RTX 3070, 16 GB RAM, full usage during gameplay. The game is installed on an SSD. What should I do?
I'm not sure I can assist much beyond confirming my specs are less affected and I don't have that issue. My setup includes a 5600, 2070 Super, and 1440, which works well—especially with DLSS quality. Even native performance feels smooth and isn't as problematic as you mentioned. Edit: To clarify, occasional stutters can occur, but I won't drop frames to zero.
This version has been running since the release. It offers 4K with RT Off and DLSS Quality, though I still experience occasional stuttering while navigating the castle. It never completely freezes, just minor interruptions.
