Frame stuttering on RTX 4060

[Garbage Man]

Hey, I have an MSI laptop with the following specs:
13th Gen Intel i7 13620H
RTX 4060 8GB
16GB DDR5 RAM
Processor Speed 4.3GHz

I am running the game on high graphics, and I am getting good frames usually, but once every minute or two, the frames stutter/freeze for a few seconds. How can I fix this?

Sounds like ya rams holding ya back, 16 dosn't really cut it nowadays, I suggest a minimum of 32, i have 64, I HATE ram issues....

me too，most of the time it's smooth, but when the screen gets stuck, the frame rate is only around 20

I dont think its a RAM issue. None of the other games that I play give me this issue... and Witcher 3 is an older game, 16 is more than enough for it.

I mostly get ~90 but I don't experience frame drops after stuttering. Once the screen unfreezes, the game again runs at 90 fps. What are your specs?

- prob an overheating issue considering its a laptop, what are the temps of the cpu and gpu?
- Could also be a world loading issue, but if you have the game on an ssd, then that shouldnt be a problem.
- What speed is your ram running at?

Yes B4 the update whacked things.. 16GB would have been enough, now with the bad optimisation and generally worse performance and DX12, i'm not so sure.

I've never had the "thermo throttling" issue neither, no matter how long I've had it running, the GPU temps never got above 70-75 both pre update at higher settings and after update with lower settings.

I dont think its a laptop issue. Temps dont go above 80... even on low settings the frames stutter.

- Turn On DLSS Frame Gen,
- in NVIDIA Control Panel, force FAST Vsync,
- edit in dx12user.settings ini line: limitFPS=40 or 45 ( for 80 or 90FPS cap with FG On)
- Disable Control Flow Guard (CFG) for game witcher3.exe in x64_dx12 folder: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/disabling-control-flow-guard-cfg-an-exploit-protection-feature-in-windows-10-fixes-various-games-stuttering.258819/

and change to recommended settings with optimalization mods and newest DLSS dlls:

VRAM leak. Just search "leak" here you will find many people reported it.

I'm glad someone understands that windows need proper configurations to run games.
