I have tried everything and cannot fix micro-stuttering

[Zapchon]

My FPS is always fine except for random drops to the 50 - 57 range in a few areas that I chock up to just being bad optimisation.

Stutters however, are absolutely terrible. They're extremely brief (lasting less than a second) and happen seemingly at random, with the exception of boss lot spawns which seems to always trigger more stutters.

Current specs:
RTX 5070 (12gb vram)
AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
32gb DDR4 Ram
and Borderlands is installed on a recently purchased NVMe drive, so I highly doubt that this is a read issue.

I played this game a lot back in 2023 on my old graphics card (RTX 2080 Super 8gb vram) and I never had the stuttering issue, only the same fps drops which I decided to just deal with.


Some of the fixes I've tried are:

-Testing both DirectX versions (12 seems better for gameplay, though 11 still runs better in menus)

-Updating drivers

-Disabling texture streaming with the -NOTEXTURESTREAMING launch command (negligible difference to stutters, if any)

-Triple buffering and Vsync via the Nvidia control panel

-Disabling Volumetric Fog

-Reducing Draw Distance

-Turning all settings to lowest

-Disabling Control Flow Guard (CFG) for Borderlands 3

-Setting "TextureStreamingPoolSizeMBOverride" to 1 in the user settings ini file


I want to say a few maybe helped a little, but it was most likely placebo.
The stutters aren't a complete dealbreaker but are very irritating and I would really like to fix them.

my 3060 RTX doesn't runs in DX 12 too. Only thing is some of the other things can not actually name as not seen before its not tearing no its something else might not on this new driver for it just installed

2060 super, amd ryzen 7 2700, and 16gb ram...your pc is way better than mine, by a longshot. I'm getting 100+ fps and no stutters. I use the -notexturestreaming and works great. Something is up with your PC

This is the only game I'm having issues with.

You already have all your drivers/everything optimized/updated and this just might be weird problem. Sorry you're having issues. Wish I could help more. Your PC will hopefully run BL4 nicely when that drops.

Just for troubleshooting's sake: are you running DX11 or DX12 for your game?

This game does use a decent chunk of cpu power and doesn't like being cpu bottlenecked, I noticed a lot of stuttering when downloading another game in the background for instance, because cpu usage gets high and subsequently gpu usage goes low.

Use a performance monitor to check what is happening when the game stutters, if it is gpu usage dropping you might need a better cpu to minimize stuttering and make better use of your gpu.

If you don't want to upgrade cpu, a fps cap around 60 might help your cpu not overwork itself in the meantime.

Tried it, minimal difference (if any)

try capping your fps and turning off volumetric fog

Try ....

Sometimes it can be Windows or something running in the background.
