Annoying fps stutter/Drops on a 9700k-2080ti setup

[✪BigEelis✪]

I don't even have everything at ultra and my fps keeps stuttering like crazy. It moves around 160 fps and can suddenly smash down to 80-90 and go back to 150-160 and then go down to 80-90.

Is there some setting i should disable or enable to keep it more stable or is the game just badly optimized?

Did you checked your GPU temps? Maybe the gpu is throttling? Try msi afterburner...

try lowering textures and see if that helps with stutter, it fixed it for me

the stuttering most likely caused by the Fade-effect the game uses to smoothly pop up parts of the terrain and scenery. There is a mod to remove it, but it makes the pop up very obvious. It's an indie game, and it's not amazingly optimised in all areas. You could try reinstalling the game if you haven't recently. One time I did that, it must have cleared out some shader cache or something because the fps almost doubled.

You won't get stable max FPS in this game, haven't seen this being done yet. Sometimes drops will happen. This engine can't seem to handle well what it's being asked. There's crazy fade in, texture pop, etc.
I tried everything. Lowering your settings certainly helps smooth it out a bit, but not perfectly. Game is already ugly as is anyway. I would just recommend locking FPS to something reasonable. There's no need to let it run at max frames, it just makes drops more substantial.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, i'll fiddle around a bit more with the settings and check temps

The default settings will cap the FPS at 60, so if you are talking about 160 etc. it means you have fiddled with the settings which you shoudn'd do until you know the game and how it works. Delete all setting files and restart, then we can talk again.
And if it's not that, I suggest to clean-up your system, a Windows reset + newest GPU drivers, although not popular, makes wonders sometimes.

You should stop acting like game settings are particle physics. First thing most people do these days is go into settings to either raise the stupid 60fps cap, unlock it, or sync it. 60 may still be the gold standard in console world, but many PC players want more because their monitors have a much higher refresh rate. Also freesync/gsync exists. Meaning you can have a much smoother 100FPS with 144HZ+ refresh rate, and have none of the tearing.

Raise the 60 FPS cap ? OK but then you need to know what and why you do it. For more than 60 FPS you need a super monitor , for example one that supports 120-144 hz at 3 ms. You don't have it? Then keep your fingers off the setting files.
I don't think most people know that, they do more harm than good to their system.
Generic settings like Low, High, Ultra are different. For Textures and AA the game will display good advices onscreen mostly based on your VRAM.

Why the hell are you assuming that OP would wanna unlock their FPS if they didn't have a monitor capable of handling the extra frames?

Even if they didn't, there's been enough benchmarking to show that gaming above your monitor's refresh rate actually improves heavily on input lag, albeit having to deal with screen tearing.

Quit being so full of ♥♥♥♥ and unhelpful.

Threads like these are very low-standard, so I don't assume good computer or hardware knowledge by the posters, hence my response has to be enough for these people. I take the time afterall. And I won't be discouraged by nit-picks like you, save your fingers to write for better occasions...

Wow, Dunning-Kruger effect is in full swing here folks.

Not Dunning Kruger, Razor's law.

What an attitude. I assume you expect those filthy mortal simpletons to be grateful that you've sacrificed a minute of your precious time. Your highness. Jeez, take your stinking attitude somewhere else.

Have you tried my solutions above? I'm not sure you did even read them.

Razor is based on minimal assumed principle. Seeing as you've already admitted to making assumptions, this is 100% Dunning-Kruger. Cheers for proving my point my man.

You better get back on topic - for OP's sake. That's your wrotten case to care about.
