Really bad stuttering.
I get really bad stuttering and random fps drops while playing. The game will go from 70-100 fps down to 40-50 and once down to 32. Have quality on High, Raytracing on High DLSS set to Quality, VRS off, Motion Blur off, everything else on, 1080p. Moscow was fine, but on Volga I can't even move around without the frame rate rubberbanding all over.
Ryzen 5 2600x
2070 Super
16GB DDR4 3200
installed on SSD
newest version of drivers and Windows 10
Edit: I think I may have found a solution that works for me and my setup. I installed AMD Ryzen Master and changed the Control Mode from Auto to Manual and manually set my voltage and core speeds. Now, I'm getting 98% GPU usage and averaging 70-100 fps even after increasing settings to Ultra from High.

I have the same problem. I took over the recommended settings from Nvidia GeForce Experience. Same settings as the thread creator. I had it on the hard drive and now on an SSD. Minimal improvement. If you move quickly, the game starts to stutter. A hard drive monitor showed me that the game was constantly loading from the hard drive. Unfortunately so unplayable for me.

Same thing for me I have a
i7 10700k
RTX 3070
16GB DDR4 3600MHz
I don't understand why the game is stuttering?

The game is continuously loading data from the SSD, think that will be the problem. If you stop in the game and wait for the environment to load, you can walk a bit without stuttering. As soon as he loads data again, the stutter starts again

Same here, original ran with no problems. Tried both SSD and HDD.

I also have this issue (although it doesn't seem to be my SSD in this case).
Original ran fine, this Version has major issues within the first level (plus I got a black screen, zero lighting bug while descending the ladder in the opening cutscene, had to change the graphics settings to get it to "reload" the light).

The issue persists across practically all settings (VSYNC full/half/off, hairworks on/off, DSLR off or up to maximum performance, VLR off and up to 4x, Shader Rate down to 1.0 although I can comfortably run 2.0+)...

The performance monitor shows my 2080 tanking at 100% for a few seconds, then running normally again as if nothing happened (just tested this in the hospital scene with Anna and Col. Miller).
I'm only running at 1080p by the way.

Edit 1: Just tested pushing all the settings down (Quality Low) and it still tanks to 100% GPU 3D.
Edit 2: Apparently Nvidea has pushed a new driver (which I've managed to miss)
which explicitly targets this game... make sure you have all updated your drivers too. Will get back to you once I've installed and tested them.
Edit 3: No difference what so ever... it just randomly slows down.
Edit 4: Verified game files and disabled SMT (Hyperthreading for AMD processors), no change

Just ran a test on GPU usage and after about 10 minutes of playing I average like 70% GPU usage. The only time it reaches 90+ is when I pause the game. I noticed that when a stutter occurs, the usage drops down to 50ish %. https://imgur.com/Ppf3cPW (the dips down to almost 0 were loading screens)

I have this issue too on SSD.

GTX 2080 Super
i7-8700k

32GB RAM

Would love a fix!

Are you all using a controller? Try without controller.

Praetorian May 13, 2021 @ 2:38am 
No, definitely not using a controller, but thanks for the input :)

I had this issue until I disabled virtual memory on all drives except for the OS one (C:/).
For some reason game was using virtual memory instead of RAM.

Based on this post and the original post, I strongly suspect your CPU is the limiting factor. The next step in diagnosing this issue is to run a similar test, but while monitoring the per-core CPU utilization. Look for 90%+ utilization on any CPU core during the segments where your GPU is being underutilized.

Anecdotally, on my 8700k and 2070 Super, the game is literally always bound at 99-100% GPU utilization, except maybe during loading screens. So if you're not getting that behavior, then something else in your system is probably acting as a bottleneck. The 2600 seems a likely candidate since it's a mid-range CPU from several generations ago. The enhanced edition of this game is surprisingly CPU-intensive, even compared to the vanilla Metro Exodus. (This probably has something to do with maintaining the BHV structure for ray tracing, or it could just be a regression in CPU performance since the last version of the engine. Hard to say for sure.)

Ryzen 9 here, Zephyrus R15 with RTX 3070, 80+ FPS on ultra, still stuttering like ♥♥♥♥.

I'm not having any frame rate issues like many of you are having. My settings are I believe exactly the same as the original poster of this forum. I can tell you what I'm doing to see if this helps anyone.

I'm using the latest nVidia driver 471.11, I always use DDU to clean out older drivers first in safe mode.
I'm using the latest DLSS version 2.2.10 found here.

I'm also using the Quality DLSS mode at 1080P and it looks and runs fantastic.
Using a humble RTX 2060 Super.
