Bad frame times

[Cally, the Concupiscent Fiend]

Running the game on High at 1440p but capping the framerate at 60 causes constant stutters. The 1% lows are at a Constant 45 FPS in the prologue so I can only imagine how much worse the open world areas are. I can run the game at 120 FPS, but my system can't maintain that and the 1% lows are all over the place there.

Ryzen 5800x
RX 7800 XT
32 GB ram (2x16GB)
installed on Sata SSD (I don't imagine NVMe will be much better, never had this issue in FF16 which is installed on the same drive)

Similar for me.
7900xtx with a 7800x3d, the 1% lows are consistently in the 40s.
And it doesn't matter what resolution or settings the game is using. In testing it was always the same.
Be it 1080p low settings or 4K high, the 1% lows like to hang out around the 40s when capped at 60, or respectively as much lower if running higher than 60fps.

To minimize the annoying choppy-ness I have to run at 90fps with a more aggressive dynamic resolution setting to stay there, so the choppy-ness isn't as noticeable as it is at 60.

Also I get a big stutter right after cutscene transitions/cuts, for at least the first several seconds after they start.
I really hope this stuff gets improved substantially soon.

Try reducing the "Background Mode Detail" option, this used to destabilize my fps, the problem now is that there is popping, but the game is quite stable.

Not sure how to fix it but this is 100% a Cpu bottleneck. I used to have similar problems with other games with my R5 5600x and 3070ti 1440p. After upgraded to r7 5700x3d 1% lows are butter smooth and gpu uses 100% most of the time.
Your Gpu is good for 1440p probably getting held back by the cpu

Very similar experience for most. 4090/9800x3d . High end memory. nvme yada yada. its still very stuttery. It's not a CPU bottleneck. Definitely a trademark of unreal engine.

It's definitely in a better state than ff16 but not by much. Hoping modders can save this like they did with part 1 on pc.

RTX 4090 & 5600x here, playing with everything maxed out 4k, DLSS at 100%.

What gave me the absolute best frametime is locking at 59fps using RTSS and using lossless scaling framegen set at 2x. It's a rock solid 118 fps with only dips being travesal stutter which is a UE4 thing, no noticable lag, barely any artifacts and game looks amazing.

Give it a shot if you haven't tried it out already as it works really well with Rebirth.
