Fix for stuttering

[DOOM_MARINE]

What I did to fix that was to turn off VSync and set your framerate limit to 60fps... It is completely gone... Running on ultrawide 5k with epic on everything... FPS is a constant 60fps doesn't move at all...

Stutters were not egregious for me for Returnal like Dead Space Remastered or Fallen Order, but usually games have more unstable frame-times the higher the fps limit is. This game is like that on steroids for me so I did limit to 60, but for some reason on my setup, eventually settled on 75 with similar results even though my monitor is 270 hz lol. Frametime consistency is so important.

Game was made with that target 60 fps, it seems like any additional frame above that number makes the CPU really work for it (hence, stuttering), that explains how the strongest CPUs are more or less unaffected. Let's see what happens after the devs deliver the performance patch they said they're working on.

That might be the reason i nearly never had any stuttering on any games i played.

I always disable Vsync.
(motion blur too if the game have it)

I nearly never notice any tearing, and have better perf..

Just to contribute, i have a Ryzen 7 5700x (not the strongest cpu available, but not one of the weak, either) and i get a lot of stuttering with high framerates even with g-sync on. When set to 60hz though most of it is gone. Seems like the game was built with the 60fps cap in mind.

If you need to cap your fps at 60. it ain't no fix in 2023.

yeah true but it's the best you can do atm

I turned off Ray Tracing reflections and shadows and stutter went away completely.
Playing 4k native resolution, epic everything, unlocked framerate(slider to far right), Vysnc off in-game and turned in in Nvidia control panel.

I was able to finish the game with decent performance without RT (still a lot of stutters but essentially micro ones) but soon after I have stronger ones, constantly, making aiming very hard like my sight is teleporting from 3 meters. Its abolutely game breaking now and I tried a lot of tweaks (verify, reinstall, delete shader cache, 60 fps lock, change disk... basically everything from forums). Am I alone ? (3080/5800x/32RAM/NVMe)

even 13600k's get stutters. It's the game and the game only
