Stutters appearing while area change with MSI RX 5700 XT Evoke

[jimsrxdx]

Hey there, recently I bought a new MSI RX 5700XT Evoke OC (for RE3 of course) to replace the old Zotac GTX1060 6G mini, and I got stutters while area changing in this game that I didn't ever have with GTX1060 before, things like entering the Shower Room with steam leaking, going up from 2nd floor to 3rd floor up the Darkroom at west area of station, heading to Main Shaft from North Area through the bridge in the lab, and so on, but basically I can get at least 130 FPS and above in this game.

I've tried different graphic setting from lowest to highest at 1080P, including turning on and off V-SYNC and set frame rate at 60, nothing helped at all.

It's quite annoying to me because this game used to be pretty smooth without such stuttering with GTX 1060, and I am wondering if I just got bottleneck with R5 2600 for RX 5700 XT?

Here is my rig, hope there is anyone can help to solve this, thanks.

CPU: R5 2600 no overclocking
MB: ASUS Strix B450-F gaming
RAM: Micron 8G x 2 @ 2666Mhz
VGA: MSI 5700XT Evoke OC with latest AMD driver 20.2.1
SSD: Micron MX500 256GB (game installed in this drive)
PSU: Seasonic Focus+ 650W
OS: Windows 10 1909

Area change stutter is normal. This is when the game swaps out assets in the video memory.
Did you do a full display driver nuking with DDU before switching? Your new card should have more than enough memory bandwidth to handle asset swaps as long as your SSD can handle the speed.

Actually I did a clean Win 10 installation after putting in the 5700XT, so I think there would be no driver issue, but the problem is I didn't have such stutters with GTX 1060 before so it's supposed to be the same with 5700 XT.

Beside, I set everything to standard and decided by games/application in the AMD driver software, nothing was turned on.

Strange, then. That card can do anything a GTX 1060 does and some.

If you reinstalled windows, then the clearest path is that your windows configuration changed between your last reference of how the game is "supposed" to run and now.

I've heard the Gamebar can cause performance issues and stuttering. (I'd keep it off anyway. Obs is just plainly better if you actually want to do that kind of thing.)

I have the Sapphire Nitro+ 5700xt (brand new only had it like 4 days so far). I have the same thing. It's only for like half a sec and the fps dips to like 58 fps. My previous card was an Nvidia GTX 1070 and I can also confirm that this was a non issue with that card. I have also not reinstalled Windows 10 at all.

@NecroAether, so did you manage to find solutions like trying different drivers for these stutters, or just let it be? I am pretty worried if this would continue to happen in RE3...

On an SSD this should not be happening especially at 1080P using a 5700XT. A quick google search of stuttering 5700 XT pulls up pages of reddit posts.
Give this a shot.

I'm having the same problem. Upgraded from an EVGA GTX 1060 SC to a Gigabyte rx 5700, making sure I removed any trace of the old GPU drivers with DDU, and correctly installing the 5700 drivers afterwards. Gameplay with the 1060 was smooth, but now I get stuttering when I change areas, or when I shoot for the first time after loading a save.

Just today made this:
Manually changed the swapfile size from autoadjust (2468MB) to 6000MB. System ist Win10 64bit - stuttering is gone. Just like that. Also switched from DX12 to DX11 - there are NO grafical effects or benefits from it in RE2. The framerate may be slightly higher with DX12 overall, but stuttering is there in 9 of 10 cases.

I haven't read every comment in here, but what fixed this for me was to turn on Free Sync on my monitor, and turn off Vsync in game. This makes all the game transitions normal to me. Obviously make sure you aren't in the yellow or red on the graphics page, too, and keep your image quality at 100% as putting it above severely impacts your frames
