Is it the game or my pc?

[Acturecrap]

No matter what I do all the changes, settings, ini files, all of it, I cannot for the life of me fix the stutter, I turn my camera it stutters a load depending on the area.
I have a
Ryzen 7 5700x (right now running at 4.3 ghz)
RTX 4060 8gb (running at medium texture quality, but even on low it still stutters)
2x8 gigs of ram running at 3200mhz
and yes, I am running the game on an NVME, I even tried so much as updating to windows 11 because I heard it improves direct storage lmao.

I'm asking since I want to know if it is a weak part in my system or it's just the game, I am aware the vram is quite low btw.

EDIT
I have had my answers on what parts of my system are weak and such, I appreciate all the help and information that I have gotten, thank you to everyone who tried helping and giving some advice.

EDIT 2
Running the game at 1080p to be clear. Honestly I don't really think there is much of a fix for me, best to just hope an update helps a bit or upgrading my pc. My tips to anyone trying to remove some stutters is to do the limiting of fps in rts and nvidia v-sync trick, it helped with some horrible microstutters, but the traversal and asset streaming stutter was something no matter what I did I could never fix. A lot of conflicting opinions in the discussion if it's the game or it's the system, I'm not too sure myself, it's probably a mix tbh.

It's the game. It is not you.

Otherwise one thing might be, that your System does not Prioritize the Game and diverts Ressources to other Programms. Maybe try Task Manager, Tasks>FF7Rebirth>Set Priority Realtime/High as possible.
In General maybe Check what Task Manager has to say how taxing the Game is on your System in Terms of RAM, GPU, CPU and so on.

I'll give the settings a go, also been using it on high priority already and been keeping an eye on my usage and such and nothing is maxing out

My PC commits around 16GB RAM to just load into the game. Standing still it's committing 16.3 GB RAM. I promise if you add more RAM some of your issues will disappear and it's the cheapest upgrade. I basically run the same Rig as you except I put 32GB RAM in last year. Moving around slightly pulls over 17GB RAM. I have never had to boost priority in task manager, I've never ran XMP or overclocking and I can stream STALKER 2 and other 2024/2025 games still using a 2080 super and a 7 series AMD processor 3700X. My PC is no where near new and I run it fine.

I do need more ram anyway for other stuff so I'll look into it, I appreciate the help

Game stutters with top hardware too, so don't get your hopes up. Not nearly as much as what you're probably experiencing though. Certainly playable.

I don't have any stuttering with my 4090. Runs at a very solid 120fps at 4K with max settings.

Make certain your gpu is set for max performance and the CPU is not in a power or cooling setting in the bios (a no no).

reset the Nvidia settings and tweak for Trilienear and other FPS enhancements.

set textures to quality, in panel as performance can set a reduction on the gpu.

Minimal video ram is 8gb
with upscale 12gb and 4k 16 gb.

Play at 1080p or 1440p upscale from 1080p

system ram speed is fine however the game wants 16gb there. I would try to upgrade your system memory to 32gb if you can.

Nothing should be causing any problems

Mine was stuttering like it was sub 30fps when frame pacing/fps were completely solid at 120fps 1440p maxed settings. Very strange behavior.

Limiting frames with Riva Tuner is the ONLY thing that stabilized it for me (enabling takes a few seconds for effect as well). Not even limiting frames in NCP helped.

Yeah I've had this issue with a couple of games before, sadly not the case for this one for me personally.

well if you have had issues before. something in your PC is causing it.

Yeah they are trying to run 2024/2025 AAA titles on 16GB RAM/8GB VRAM. I literally already went through this last year with my 2080 super. As soon as I upgraded to 32GB all this persons exact problems I was having went away. Now I very rarely get minor issues running 1440p 60fps and my PC is almost a dinosaur.

The performance of an 4070 Ti is like only LITERALLY a 2x 4060 in Sly config 😐 ..

Heck, the Ggpu is even close to an 2x 4060Ti .. !

In terms of processing power yea but I'm talking about architecture. All 4000 cards are similar in that regard. So a fix that worked for me could work for OP.

Who cares about "architecture" at that point ?

A matter fact, the 4060 has an highly nerfed pcb compared to the mid - high tier 40xx
!!

BTB @OP ..

A. and foremost .. System RAM
C. Storage speed (Nvme SSD PCIE 3.0 - 4.0 MINIMUM)
B. GPU ... unless you play on 1080p .. that is an 1080p GPU at BEST 🤦‍♀️

I play at 1080p and the game is on an NVME

Sure, "A" nvme.. but what Gen nvme ? ie: pcie 3.0, 4.0 and now you have the 5.0 ..
With each Gen there's an decent Write / Read boosts ..

But then again, it doesn't work in all games by just changing HW...
Starfield / Stutterfield comes to mind 🤦🤦‍♀️

Also, my GPU (4070 ti) is twice as powerfull than yours..
And iam using an 5900x (Zen3) CPU ... The level 3 cache is DOUBLE of yours 🤔

I mean it's not for nothing that X3D cpu's are peforming so well in games ... because of it's HIGH AMOUNTS tons of MB's cache level 🤔

I have posted some pointers iam using , fast travel to 😏 → https://steamcommunity.com/app/2909400/discussions/0/597390873150445409/

The 4060 runs on a 128bit memory bus.
Bumping up your ram clocks will add a few more frames.

That aside. Running task manager while the game runs might help point you in the direction of your biggest problem. See what hits 100%.

HWINFO 64 will be able to tell if your mobo is splitting your 16X PCI lane with the NVME drive/s.... which will slow your GPU down. When you look at your GPU specs if there is anything like (8*8) or (4*4*4*4) then your lanes are split and running slower.

If none of that is finding the issue try running a temperature monitoring software and see what gets hot.

Don't forget to check your Windows Power Profile and the Nvidia Application Settings to see if your system has a bad setting or is overriding something.

[metal1K]

it's the game don't listen to anyone telling you otherwise they are absolutely blind or in denial. Digital Foundry is preparing a video on it and this is their reviewer's comment while doing the testing:

https://bsky.app/profile/dachsjaeger.bsky.social/post/3lgq2zbrncs2r

Most gamers are blind and don't see or check or understand 1% lows. This game has pretty bad 1% lows, either due to an extremely aggressive streaming system for the assets that are in the scenes (which explains why turning the camera around is not smooth, as you load stuff) and also apparently due to shader stuttering (according to Alex from digital foundry if you read the entire thread)...

But a lot of people on this forum are either blind, delusional, hopeful or in denial. When they are not trolls...

[GuitarLoser]

People spreading straight up misinformation on here lol. I play all new games at 1440p and I have 16gb ram.

[Mommy💋LipStick]

.. OH and another thing you have to keep in MIND folks..

If your Monitor has native G-sync/freesync Premium support.. by ALL means.. DO DISABLE windows VRR feature .. The two SURE are conflicting eachother ... Especially when you are using HDR (→ Flickering ←) ...

I have learned that the hard way (cyberpunk among others) 😉

Also, might be about the right time to check and see if your monitor does need an Firmware upgrade connected via USB ports of the screen ..
