I am wondering whether those micro stutters are normal

[Itory]

Hi guys,

I need your help, just for me to understand: I have an 5090 rtx with a 9800X3D CPU, 64 GB RAM, game installed on an Nvme - all fine. However, when roaming around, I notice those small "hickups".

Are they normal and I am over sensitive to those?

I play on 4k resolution, DLSS, ultra performance, borderless window, all settings to epic. VSync off, FPS limited to 120

Thank you in advance!

I have basically the same hardware and the same problem. The game stutters noticeably outside of fights. Circling the camera horizontally makes it pretty obvious, that something is off.
What may have helped a little was turning off DLSS and switching to anti aliasing. Other than that I am experimenting with different frame cap and vsync options but I have not found something that works.
But I guess the hickups are "normal", i.e. it is not just you.

I have a different problem - constand judder when GPU usage is maxed out and around some tree or plants areas. If GPU is less than 98% or if you look at the rock there's no constant judder. I thought it was some VRR bug but i disabled VRR and still got this issue.

I refunded for other reasons, but I experienced the same issue with micro stuttering and was able to fix it. Check HWInfo and make sure your CPU isn’t current/edp limit throttling. If it is, you may need to raise the ICCmax in your BIOS. Start with small increments like 50 at a time.

Never mind, just reached the second area and here DLSS with DLAA runs almost perfectly. So it is one of those cases...

Thank you guys!

My CPU stays cool. The stutters are not all the time, randomly, some more, some less, sometimes nothing. I realize them only because my eyes seem to be "trained". So in other words: It's prety normal, nothing is broken?

Sorry. forgot to add: 65° C is CPU Package Temp

It seems to be the unreal engine.

I wanna exchange my jitter to your stutters. I'm okay with such stutters but please take away that weird jitter

Anyone having this? https://ibb.co/JWjsgv9Z

Your graphics card can probably handle DLSS Quality and still run at 120fps epic quality. The picture quality will be much better. I’m doing 80fps(foggy areas)-105fps with DLSS Performance with an RTX 5070 Ti and the 9800X3D. If you need more performance turn down global illumination and shadows to high.

I’m also getting micro-stutters during exploration, but they tend to be single spikes in frame times. Hard to know if this is hardware-related, poor optimization just current-day tech limitations

9800X3D / 64GB / RTX5070TI / Latest NVIDIA drivers and no shuttering here. Using best highest settings.

Stuttering is normal if you use your graphics card to its fullest without limiting the frame rate. Most games don't support going above 60 fps. You need to limit your monitor to 60Hz, enable Gsync/Freesync + Vsync, and the game will run at a locked 60 fps without stuttering.

I had them too in the beginning. Its just unreal engine 5 being unreal engine 5. That being said for a ue5 game its surprisingly well optimized.

First of all: thank you very much for your responses, I can ignore those small hickups very easily, so it is ok for me :)

I noticed those as well, on the flying manor. They happen especially when moving around into new areas there, otherwise I do not notice them.

I think I may have had some rare stutters that went away after lowering shadow graphics.

I also have micro stutters on my 4090. Only noticeable when I'm out in the open and exploring. Mine go away when I restart my computer but come back after several hours. I'm guessing it's a driver issue.
