PC Stuttering Fix - Locked 60 FPS!

[redflamingolingo]

Hey everyone. I have a 4090, 12900K, and 64 gb of DDR5 RAM.

The game was a stuttering mess for me initially.

I can now get a completely locked 60fps, even in the hub town that is giving everyone issues.

The key is to change your display's refresh rate to 60hz, run the game in fullscreen mode, and disable ray-tracing.

When I run the game in 144hz refresh rate, I get insane stuttering even as the framerate goes from 60-120fps. Gsync does not help at all.

Changing my refresh rate to 60hz in Nvidia Control Panel and then opening the game gives me a completely smooth 60fps.

ENABLING A 60FPS FRAME RATE LIMITER DOES NOT FIX THE STUTTERS. YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR REFRESH RATE TO 60HZ.

Be sure to disable ray tracing since that will still cause drops and stutters.

I hope this helps other people looking for a fix!

This is crazy hahaha. All that power just to play at 60 fps. I ain’t blaming you tho.

THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yea, it's insane. But it does work lol. As long as the refresh rate is 60hz, the game runs like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dream. With this hardware, though, it should run at a much higher, smooth framerate. It can hit 100+, but it is just a mess of stuttering that GSYNC cannot correct. Even a fps limiter in Afterburner or Nvidia Control Panel causes stuttering.

The ONLY solution: changing the refresh rate of my TV to 60hz through Nvidia Control Panel.

The difference is literally making the game go from unplayable to near-flawless performance. Insane.

ER MAI GAWDDDD....IT WORKZ...

Sucks that some of you guys have these issues to begin with. I play it on all epic with ray tracing with the 2k resolution. Runs like butter.

I'm going to test this soon.

The game runs ok-ish for me but it is far from acceptable state as it was released. I can run Coruscant mostly above 70 FPS with few areas where FPS drops just below 60. One area tanks my FPS to 45 right as cinematic starts to play. I run the game at 1440p, all Epic settings with RT off, dedicated fullscreen, VSync off. This is with 12900KF, RTX 3080Ti, 32GB DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD and Win11. There are occasional stutters as the game loads next area and the game does not feel smooth even if it runs above 60 FPS.

My 144HZ 4k monitor will weep if I turn it into 60Hz oldtimer :)

It works perfectly for me. I'm gaming on an OLED 144hz TV. Doing the same trick also helped Dead Space run at an even 60fps with no traversal stutter.

The same trick is working magic for me in Jedi: Survivor.

Lock your monitor to 60Hz and report back!

I was having the EXACT same issues as you until I changed the refresh rate.

Thanks for sharing. I'll probably just be holding off until there's a patch (if).

What are you system specs?

I'm curious with how many different setups this will help people.
