Cutscene stutter with Directx 12?

[hade1]

So I played through the demo several times back when it launched. Used directX 11 as there was a stutter/framedrop issue reported with Directx 12 at the time. No issues, smooth experience throughout.

Saw in recent patch notes that this issue was fixed so decided to play through the demo again before launch, this time on directx 12.
Lots of stutter/freeze/framedrops going on in the cutscenes (especially when a lot is happening on screen - e..g. stage 2 boss).
No stutter/framedrops happening in combat/gameplay sections luckily (100-120fps most of the time)), but happens frequently enough in cutscenes that is distracting/annoying.

Hopefully fixed in full version, if not then recommend playing through on DirectX 11 first time (not even sure whats improved from Dx12 visually?).

What driver do you currently have installed? You may have to go back to version 566.36

I upgraded to latest (572.83) so that may be the issue., Will try a rollback to 566.36 and see if it fixes things.

It's not the driver version causing the issue. It's DX12. I did a full uninstall of the latest driver and installed 566.36 and it didn't help at all until I switch to DX 11

Uninstalling nvidia app and rolling driver back from latest 572.83 to 566.36 fixed it for me.
Now runs at 4k max settings, DLAA, 120fps framerate cap, fullscreen, vsync off in game (on in nvdia control panel) at 100-120fps most of the time. No stutter in cutscenes anymore/yet (up to viper boss).

DX 11 runs smooth as butter, dx12 runs is quite stuttery all around

it's the shaders, for some reason when you switch to dx12 they dont get precompiled properly or I don't know what they did. Every new vfx will cause stutter the first time. It's very bad vs new bosses, every new attack will stutter you.
