Wow, game's performance is garbage

[Uhtred son of Uhtred]

A stuttering fest. Nice.

PC performance has always been trash, anyone who can play this at a steady 60 fps or better without stutters and drops is basically just lucky or has a top .03% system.

On my old hardware from 2019 i had a 45fps and lots of random fps drops. Was on Ryzen 5 5500H and 16gb ram and a RTX 3050 4gb Vram gaming laptop.

Now i got a proper desktop that i build build mere weeks ago. Ryzen 7 7700X with 64 gb of ram and a Gigabyte 7600XT with 16gb Vram and am hitting 153 fps.

Yes the game is somewhat badly optimized but it is also ment to use the newer hard and software, its the same thing for Starfield, these games should be run on the hardware of their release time or above that. Having bare minimum isnt really enough for an enjoyable gameplay experience.

Ok, then explain this. RTX4080, i-9-14900k processor, 32GB RAM, SSD, Windows 11.. and constant frame rate drops with the game resolution set to 50% of 4k, no ray tracing, and all graphic settings set on low. Please instantly fix this issue for me.

SCAR 18 G834JY gaming laptop here (4090 laptop 16GB 175W -a bit more than a 4070ti desktop-, i9-13980HX, 32GB DDR5 5600MHz, NVMe 6GB/s). Tested with NVidia 560.81 and 551.86. Current game version: 1235957 07/24/2024

The game has very annoying HUGE HICCUPS while running through Hogwarts. Looks like a very bad slow assets pre-loading issue that is a 100% software issue, not at all a HW performance problem.
It's crazy when I read people with 3060 running this game smoothly... it clearly has some kind of software problem to underperform so poorly on powerful modern HW.
Mods with INI optimization tricks won't help (it's not a low fps issue).

get a better pc

clown ahh response

The game is just poorly optimized for pc. If you watch the performance tab in the task manager you will see the game consuming a TON of system RAM while only using a very small percentage of GPU. It uses around 19 GB of system RAM and around 20% GPU on my pc.

[hexaae]

I suspect there is also something wrong with CPU cores usage on modern CPUs (i9 etc.) looking at the graphs in Task Manager: you can see only a few cores are used with high peaks and the others are very low...

All in all it seems there are serious GPU and CPU balance issues on modern HW (i.e. 40x0 + i9) with this game.

Runs great for me. NO issues at all. Never a stutter I notice how OP never even stated his specs.SO I suspect hes trying to run it on a potato.My only comment. What do you expect.

you know thats not actually a 4090 GPU. Its a mobile GPU. BIg difference. You think they can fir a 4090 in a a laptop.

No it has nothing to do with HW power. The game seems to have issues on some hardware in balancing CPU/GPU... it's like it adjusts some internal settings wrong and it does more on recent HW (e.g. 40x0 + i9).
It's full of people with 4090 desktop and 14th Intel complaining about asset loading stuttering in this game.

-OFF TOPIC-
Another laptop hater. You quoted without even reading it BTW about my 4090 laptop 😫 LOL who said 4090 laptop == 4090 desktop? Nobody. But it's still quite powerful, believe me...

It's probably the Denuvo tbh

Nah, not even that: if Denuvo lowered performance a more powerful HW should solve this, instead you have many cases with Hogwarts Legacy players with 2080 Super playing smoother than 4090 + 14th Intel CPU suffering of frequent assets loading stuttering. Must be some kind of wrong HW detection and internal adjustments.

I seem to remember when I was putting this rig together that I-9 and multi-core processors like 12 core and up were like really, really great for graphics design and number crunching, and rendering 3d art and such, but that they did poorly or were not recommended for a game oriented PC.

( Not sure if that was cost effective or there were truly problems with the multi-core and game playing.)

although mine is and older CPU and lower end GPU now I run the game 4k 60FPS pretty much never see it dip except maybe in menu's or loading screen's. (Which does not effect my game play at all.)

Specs are. AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-core, 16 gig of ram, and Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 , My drives are all SSD a 1 terabyte OS mostly and 4 terabyte, I use for my game play.

What's sad at the start of the game before Hogwarts I'm doing 60-80 fps all the time the game is running great and looks great.

The more classes I do in Hogwarts the shuttering just won't end, don't even get me started on opening doors and trying to go outside. It's unplayable, I tried all the graphics settings same results. This game is horrible at loading it's stuff everything shutters even more then. I eventually gave up deleted my save and uninstalled. T

Good news: 99% solved, finally.
There are just some rare residual micro-stutterings in some locations (ordinary for many other games), but now it's day and night without those horrible freezes/hiccups I had before.
Stay tuned... I'll try to provide a mini-guide here, and if you'll confirm it's fixed I'll move it to an official Steam Guide.

ive never had any stuttering with this game and ive PLAYED it for around 300 hours. my pc is rlly good tho so that might be y
