fix for massive stuttering?

[MushoPork]

So i'm getting massive stuttering. I have tried adaptive vsync, vsync on, vsync off, went into my global nvidia settings and set vsync on and off, and nothing seems to fix the issue. I am seriously leaning on a refund if no one can come up with a good fix.

same here mate, its unplayably bad

this is probably going to sound silly but i was getting frequent dips to 40s until i rebooted my system now it's solid 60fps at 1080p Ultra on a 970. I hadn't restarted in 2 weeks and it seem to clear up whatever was causing those dips

Other than the stuttering, the game is running max settings 1080p 60+ FPS on a 1060 3gb.

Have you guys updated your graphics card drivers to the latest?

I updated earlier today.

Hi guys! I don't know this is still actual for you, but I find a simple fix that works for me. In you steam library, Right Click on Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus. After that go to the Betas folder. Open the tab with the little reversed triangle and select:publicbeta - Branch for public beta patches. Then the game download a 59mb beta patch. After it's installed launch the game. That worked for me. Now I can play the game smooth with a GT 1030. I hope it works for you! Sorry for my bad English.

what worked for me in other games with this engine is change maximum prerendered frames to 3 in the nvidia control panel. Fixed it for me in the new order. Worked on evil within as well or any other ID tech based game.

So this is the solution that I read and have had work on a couple instances when things were reset:

Change shadow settings to low.

Simple as that, and the game suddenly went back to relatively stable framerates.

Something in this last patch must have broken the shadows in particular.

Issue still occurs. I will not loose time on HW not SW specs as proven in this thread to doesn't matter.

Non of given workarounds helps (including G-Sync Compatible through HDMI). This sucks!

changing the prerendered frames fixed it for me for all ID games. Play with that setting. Nvidia changed it to virtual reality prerendered frames but it should still work.

Yep I did that thanks, and I just recently updated my rig to win 10 and I started getting stuttering that was absent with 8.1.

One thing I did (may help) was Ctrl+Alt+Del and opened the Task Manager, I found Windows Search was a real memory hog and so I disabled it. So far there's less stuttering (considerably reduced) so I am hopeful and its something PC's owners can try, don't go fiddling with the settings unless you know what you are doing.

Best of luck to all...

My Rig
Motherboard Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
24 GB Ram
Graphics Card ZOTAC GTX 1070 AMP! Extreme 8GB
PSU Seasonic FOCUS Plus 750 Gold
Samsung EVO M.2 SSD

UPDATE

I have been running The New Colossus now for over an hour (system was restarted after changes) and I haven't had any stuttering since I turned off Windows Search, I also used Samsung drive magician to check and optimise my M.2 SSD.

I have disabled as many unnecessary services as I can and now my CPU usage hovers around 1-3% where before it was as high as 53% before I even started Wolfenstein.

In my case the stuttering was it seems caused by Greedy Windows Services, so It might be worth turning off all unneeded Apps.

Try Ctrl+Alt+del to bring up the Task Manager and see what your CPU Usage is.

Again if you are unsure about this get help from someone who does.
