[FIXED] I9 9900K and RTX 3080 and game stuttering
I've had problems with the game on battlenet since launch. On the I9 9900K and RTX 3080 configuration, stuttering almost every time. Changing the graphics card settings in Windows 11 does not help. Updating drivers doesn't help. Changing the settings in the game does not help - the stuttering comes back. Update bios - not help. Stuttering returns periodically and the frequency depends on the type of graphics drivers. For now, it's best on the Nvidia 526.86 driver. But the problem still occurs only less often. Spikes of frametimes come back in waves. I tried the game on windows 10, same thing. This is the only CoD with such problems and no other game has such problems. I also noticed that, for example, on the same settings on the I5 10400F and RTX 2080TI processor, the game works flawlessly. Maybe it's problems with the support of I9 and 16 thread processors? Have any of you dealt with stuttering with a similar hardware configuration?

After last update (Tuesday, November 22nd 2022) game is much better than before better performance almost smooth like butter. From time to time a very little freeze in match. Please keep working Activision on this.

Yes, i9 9900k and 3080Ti here. Scatman John is proud of these stutters in Mw2.

I think i read somewhere that is your gpu usage is at 100% then it's what causes the stutters, maybe you're playing at 1440? as that cpu would most certainly bottleneck the 3080.

Have an i9-10850k and 3080, play at 1440p max graphics - have 0 issues with it, theoretically your hardware should be able to run this at max with no stuttering

Thought the i9 9900k would work fine with it, pretty sure it's not far behind the one I have

As I wrote - changing the settings in the game does not help - the stuttering comes back.

Hey, I have managed to fix those low cpu usage problems which caused me hard stutters (jumping from 10 to 90 fps all the time) so I hope this helps you.

Solution is very strange and I discovered it by accident. When I run Warzone 2.0 I run another software which has high cpu usage (for example, I run Adobe Illustrator which uses like 40 - 50%) and the game stops stuttering. You can use any other software that has high cpu usage. I'm not sure if this is problem with my PC or the game is optimized bad, but I think my system can run this game easily on atleast minimum.

My system:
RTX 2060 12 GB
Ryzen 7 3700x 8core 3.60ghz
32GB RAM
M.2 SSD

You're right, if you open a software that uses lot of cpu, that would make your cpu to send LESS information to your graphic card, and that would make your 2060 work smoother. Is a bottleneck, and you're, basically, downgrading your cpu to match your gpu
You can try to change "RendererWorkerCount" on file "Documents\Call of Duty\players\options.3.cod22.cst"

// Thread count for handling the job queue
RendererWorkerCount:0.0 = "8" // -1 to 16

i also have a rtx 2060 but the 6GB version, my CPU is ryzen 3 3300x, 16GB RAM, i am also getting a stutter esp. during the start of the game, like from 100fps to 10fps and back again to 100fps

I know it but it's not a solution! It's a problem of the game and the bad use of CPU cores. Why can't the devs change it? The game is crap, poorly optimized for 16 thread processors! Or it's a bug in Ricochet's anticheat implementation.

rtx 4090 here and no shuttering. Before 4090 i used 3070 and no shuttering too. So problem on your side

I changed it - doesn't help.

Game definitely has stuttering issues in general. Definitely not a you problem. At least for the bulk of it.
=]DDD[= MISFITS Nov 20, 2022 @ 3:24am 
denke auch das liegt zum teil am Spiel
I Think that is also Partly due to the Game

Usually -1 is a cpu core, so 7 should be correct by default. But either way it doesnt help tried it a while ago.
Also the question is if they are talking about threads or cores, thats sth entirely different also.

Theres nothing left to try on my end, have tried any windows game settings, overlays, graphical options etc.. its the game.
