For people who experienced stuttering 3-5 sec in-game (and menu), try this to other RE engine games.

So I got this new PC so I can play Horizon Zero Dawn and RE8 due to DX 12 requirement. I have no choice but to upgrade from Win7 to Win10. Here is my specs:

Ryzen 5 5600x
EVGA RTX 3090 FTW Ultra Gaming
Seagate FireCuda 520 1TB nVme
16gb 2400Mhz
MB: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX

Tried RE8 demo, ran flawless. I was like "Cool, should be no issue once the full game is out". Then, the release date. Started the game, stutter city every 3-5 sec. I was like "WTH?!, I do not understand this". Tried all settings; from low to high, RT on or off, VSync on or off. Did them all and no luck.

Today, I was like "Let me try this with older RE engine game titles, for funzies". Reinstalled RE7, RE2R, and RE3R. All scaled ratio at 1 or 100% (by default) for Image Quality.

First, RE7 (DX 11 only? Did not see API option in menu)

Max setting at 3840x2160 res 120hz, VSynch Off, variable refresh rate on my LG OLED TV 48" with HDMI 2.1. Holy sh*t, it ran like butter. Movin' and Groovin'. Getting ~ 150fps.

RE2R (DX 11 or 12)

DX 11 - Max setting at 2560x1440 res. Again, buttery smooth. Getting ~ 180-200 fps.
DX 12 - Same setting. Almost buttery smooth but still very good. 150-170 fps.

RE3R (DX 11 or 12)

DX 11 - Max setting at 2560x1440 res. Pretty good (not as good as RE2R) 170-190 fps.
DX 12 - Same setting. Now, this is when things took a dump. Stuttering 3-5 sec. WTH?! This does not make any sense.

For anyone who would like to try this and see if similar results for those games above.

PS - Everything else ran like a dream. Horizon Zero Dawn ran great. No issues. Same for my other games. Sigh....I am sad.

its game, engine, graphic patch problem. older game already balance with thier gameplay so of course you can play those game that you mentioned. need to wait for patch update

Just curious why RE3R ran so differently between DX 11 vs 12. That was weird to me. And RE8 is DX 12 only, so there is no way to test under DX 11 and see if it has to do with API. RE3R only just over a year old.

you managed to get it to work well, it happens to me exactly the same loss of fps every 2 or 3 seconds as if they were stutters the fps go down from 60 to 43 and then go up to 60
