Game stutter a lot. 1080 Ti with a 3800x
I really want to enjoy the game, but every battle the FPS always drops from 90 to 35 every time an action is made. Most of the time it happens only during a battle. When the enemies are doing they action, the FPS stays stable.

how much ram you got and the 3800x is kinda crappy

LOL, try again next time.

The game is a stuttery mess in combat right now. Lowering settings makes no difference, so we just gotta hope they patch it.

I get the stuttering fps all the time on lowest settings both in and out of combat in Wasteland 3 and I can run Divinity 2 fine at high settings, this game just needs patching for better optimization.

Sounds like something weird is going on with your PC. The 3800x is nice, the 1080Ti not so much, but the recommended spec are only a 1060 iirc.

Maybe an AV issue? Like it tries to scan each time something is loaded into the GPU memory? Or some other software conflict? If I were you, I'd try turning things off and seeing if the issue persists. I'm on a 9600k with a 1660Ti and it's flawlessly stable.

Please stop trolling.

It's one of the fastest consumer gaming CPUs available.

Also, the stuttering issue when opening menus and holding shift is a known issue that is being worked on.

If you are getting stuttering outside of those 2 specific issues, it is something else.

I'm running a 3800X, 2080Ti, 32GB RAM running at 3400 and am getting 90-120fps (capped) at 1440p with the Ultra preset.

I get drops in those specific scenarios but otherwise it's smooth.

I forgot to add - are you running in Exclusive Fullscreen? Running windowed is going to likely cause some loss in performance.

Very odd, I have similar specs (2700X, 1080Ti with 32GB of ram) and it runs smooth with 1440p at around 90 - 144 fps depending on the location. Those kinds of weird stutters could be caused by an over intrusive antivirus. If you have a second monitor you can leave some resource monitoring there and see if anything in your hardware caps out too.

Try this:

-Remove v-sync on the game.
-Go to the nvidia control panel and set v-sync active.(in my case 60 hz)
-Set Wasteland 3 exe on nvidia control panel,Power management mode,prefer maximum performance.

Let the Vsync be done at the driver level.

I run at 3700x and 1070. i have not yet tried the game, but unity games around to stutter. Pillars of Eternity, Deadfire, battletech etc. Its supposidly an "Nvidia GPU Issue" its not an AMD or Intel issue. I doubt the game can even max out the 3700x or 3800x @ 100% on all cores when Windows is idle and nothing is running in the background.

Otherwise restart your PC, and see if performance improves, if you are not the person to reboot your PC often. Known issue with Windows and Stuttering.

Also make sure you try borderless or Exclusive Full Screenmode and see if there is any difference. I am getting rid of my 1070 once RDNA2 comes by in Nov-Dec. If stuttering does not happen in UE4 and happens in Unity then its an engine bug/Nvidia bug.

Turn off G-Sync if you have it enabled in NV Control Panel.

Edit its a known issue within Unity "They call it Jitter"

same. can't enjoy the game. frame rate drops ALL over the place. I have a 2080ti and moving the camera about in combat is just stupidly stuttery. even putting it on low does nothing. clearly a game issue. let's hope they patch it otherwise im out.

yeah it's insane that I get 200 fps stable on divinity original sin 2 difinitive edition using a 2080ti and i get drops to 40 fps on this game which looks like a cartoon compared to DOS 2.. so dumb

i can honestly say i've had zero issues. 1080p max settings(except point lights). 2600x, 16 gb of ram and an rx 5700. had no issues with frame rate or stutters. so it's hard to say what the issue is.

I'm on a 1070 GTX w 3200 ram, 16g and I dont lag at ALL. EXCEPT when I press shift to hilight stuff. Then it stutters like mad.

Yeah i agree i run the game on a Ryzen 5 2600 no OC 16gigs Ram and a Rx 570 8gb all Ultra 60 fps constant the only stutter i get is with the shift in 1st town especially other than that no problem at all

6700k@4.5GHz/32Gb RAM/1080ti - everything is good.
I think problem is AMD. Trash CPU.
