My stutter fix

[Afro¹]

Edit:  After playing for a few more hours I've updated my method.  I'm now capping the game to 100 fps via Nvidia Control and using DLAA.  Works just as well for minimal stutter and looks amazing.  

I just started the game, but I had to fiddle with some settings for an hour to eliminate the random stutter and I believe it's pretty much locked at a buttery 100 fps now besides some rare, what I believe to be, compilation stutter.

- Frame generation and frame limiter OFF in game.  V-sync OFF in game.  DLSS ON in game (DLAA).

- V-sync ON in Nvidia Control panel along with these[i.imgur.com] settings.

Also, I'm using these graphics settings (except I have frame gen off).

This is with a 4070 Ti + 9800x3D rig at 1440p. Using DX12.

I'll update this post if I end up experiencing more stutter as I play, but these are the best settings so far for my somewhat higher end rig.  Hope this helps.

Following the settings in the video helped a bunch, though what actually resolved the majority of the stutter I'm not sure. Might have been exclusive fullscreen, might have been disabling the game's internal FPS limiter. Glad I did it though because now it's running more or less buttery smooth, and after the demo I'm for sure going to be picking this up.
Edit: I stayed on DX11 and enabled frame gen, as an aside. Also turned up the antialiasing since it looked godawful with the setting he suggested.

Just turn DX11 on, stutter goes away.
DX12 has to load specific assets a first time for some reason, DX11 doesn't. You aren't geting stutter because your assets are already loaded.

No the stuttering doesn't just magically go away by using DX11. It can actually make performance worse like it did for me, this problem for alot of people is related to the newest Nvidia drivers and the fact that this game isn't optimized well for them.

Funny, my friend is using the same driver as me and I have stutter (DX12) he doesn't (DX11) if you swap between them and redo shaders, you have stutter, if you choose one and then do shaders, no stutter.

So don't know what to tell ya. DX12 has been universally stuttery for UE5 games since UE5 was brought into the picture. DX11 on the other hand, not so much.

You do know know this isn't even UE5 right? It's UE4. Also how do you do choose DX11 and then do shaders? It doesn't compile shaders, I've launched the game with DX11 and performance just tanks from the seconds I load into the game. DX11 just doesn't work on newer hardware.

huh stuttering and here I thought thsi was the best launch of 2025 considering i got nothing less than 100fps on ultra settings with DLSS set to native DLAA and frame gen off cuz ew.
im on a laptop with a 4080 (which is equal to a 4070 gpu on a desktop) on a 1600p 16:10 resolution
