Hello fellow gamers,
I recently upgraded my GPU to a 7800xt nitro+, but in high FPS situations, like overwatch 2, the card stutters sometimes. Like going from the desired 160fps down to like 80 for a second. In general, the FPS are not stable. Before a match it hovers in the 100s regions. That can’t be right?
I tried setting everything very uncompetitively on ultra or max just for giggles and because I thought I could. 3440x1440p. Is this the dreaded “AMD driver issue”?
CPU: 5600X PSU:750W SSD: 980pro nvme
Ive seen stutters on 6900xt. My fix was to adjust the boost clock from dropping to 500mhz from ~2300mhz or so. Set the low to little less than half at 1125mhz when Im gaming and cleared a bunch of stutters. That seems to have cleared up that specific stutter. I had some memory issues too with a ddr4 system. Ive also noticed stutters when using Bluetooth audio while gaming. Try eliminating as many backgound apps as you can, try one at a time cause they have been known to cause issues too.
I will try this and report back!
I found the likely problem. The card has trouble with overwatch running DX12. If I run it in DX11 it works fine.
Thank you for the update! It is a welcome troubleshooting tip with the DirectX problems.
I tried it, but it didn’t work. It will “plateau” at 160, 100, and 80, and jumps between. GPU usage maxes out at 80%. Check out my comment about the loading of assets. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? My feeling says something about the vram maybe?
