144fps to 141fps (rare stutter drops)

[Romano]

So i have randomly (once on a week - seriously) drop from 144pfs to 141fps on my GTX 1060 6gb... Never on Turbo or TM 2. Its normal on TMUF? Its not annoying but thinkable...

United is now quite an old game, and won't get proper support for new video cards.
All you can do is to experiment with the video settings in the nvidia driver and tge game video settings (launcher configuration, also try the advanced and compatibiliy settings)

Dude, 3 fps drops aren't anything your eye would notice. Can you use something like MSI Afterburner and use it's On Screen Display to check the frametime (not to confuse with framerate)? That should get you an idea of how bad the microstuttering gets, which is what you're likely noticing.

Dude, 1 fps drop on vsync is veeeery noticeable.

oh, I just framecap, vsync is input lag territory. Unfortunately it doesn't always eliminate tearing but depends on the game

I use vsync, and that mean i max at 60 fps, so one frame should affect me alot more than you, but i dont notice it.

I have an old spare pc that i rarely use, but when i play games like gta 5, it will report as having 30fps all the time, but with noticible stutter. I think you are experience something like that.

Exactly my point. What the spare pc is suffering is microstutter where the frame drops happen in such a short time that the usual FPS counter doesn't detect, but a frametime graph WILL show you the dip.

Don't be surprised why sometimes you see a frametime graph on a tech tuber's benchmark overlay of a game and I don't mean the graphs comparing graphics cards.

Oh yeah i know, just forgot what it was named. :)

And i would also like to add that, i have the same GPU as OP, but i have no stutter. Though i use vsync.

I got a 1060 Strix, non OC version.

Are u having drops from 60 to 59-58 sometimes in tmuf?

[DJ SorUwU]

Truth be told I got the retail version... with Starforce DRM, so yeah, I'm not running on my 1060 toting pcs... not till I get it here on Steam

Properly, but i don't remember, been a a few weeks since i played more than just a track or two, so haven't really noticed.
But i do get FPS drops in just about every game i own, but i don't notice when they happen, unless i happen to be looking at the fps at the time.

You haven't told us what CPU you use. Chances are you're using one that might have more than enough juice for the system and the game, but falls a bit short in the end for the drivers of the 1060, that or nvidia's drivers aren't as smooth as they used to.

But on the cpu holding the card back, I'm not joking there. Had used an HD4890 coupled with a Pentium D in the past to run Mass Effect and while it DID run at 60 fps... it was only out of combat situations. The moment combat started the performance tanked to the 20fps range. The card had enough juice, the cpu just couldn't handle sending the instructions for the card to render fast enough and it basically bottlenecked the system.

Also one point regarding TMU, ever since TM Sunrise (basically ever since I first played a TM game) when you gotta restart at the starting point and launch for some reason the performance chugged for a few seconds before going back to smoothness. Was this the moment you noticed the impact? Cause if so, it's not your system that's having problems.

And the drops comes whenever, only noticed them on this system because i happened to look at the fps counter at the time, otherwise i didn't notice them.
