*Severe micro stutters* cyberpunk 2077 Please help

[Kronics19975]

Honestly that frametime graph is about as good as it gets unless you run the most pared-back, streamlined and stripped Windows install possible.

The only thing I'm seeing in the actual video footage is uneven frame pacing because you're not using VRR.

Without VRR, unless you can GUARANTEE a framerate for running with regular fixed vsync, and then cap your game framerate to that exact framerate, you have to accept stuttery/uneven frame delivery. Vsnyc at a fixed refresh accentuates the stutters, no vsync tends to give you smoother animation but tearing all over the place.

I'd run VRR at all times, even in competitive titles - because VRR's added latency is negligible as long as you have a high-refresh monitor. Maybe if I was still a 20-year-old and gaming in high-end tournaments with a lot of money on the line I'd consider Nvidia reflex instead of VRR, but I'd also likely be able to afford a 360Hz monitor and a CPU+GPU to drive it. Lowest measured latency isn't the only thing that gives you a competitive edge - being able to accurately predict motion and lead targets is equally important and that benefits from even frame pacing and animation smoothness just as much as low latency.

Still have stutters when capping at a frame rate I know I can hit. This is apparent on apex too because I can more then hit 165 stable. And still have massive dips changing my 0.1 and 1% lows from 160-163 to 40-60 for a fraction of a second. I’m still able to see these though and it’s very annoying. Haven’t bothered to test out a game of apex because all this happens in the firing range. Ddu latest drivers. Nope. Ddu December drivers nope. Latest beta bios? Nope. Latest offical release bios? Nope. Chris titus, literally turning everything that isn’t critical off? Nope. Igpu off in bios? Nope. Ftpm, ssv (or svv whatever it’s called) off, nope vsync off nope gsync off nope full screen optimisation off nope gamebar off nope game mode off nope windows game optimisation off nope nvidea overlay nope nvidea reflex off nope nvidea low latency on and off nope ultra nope driver shader cache size nope pre rendered frames to 8 nope one stick of ram nope expo off nope GPU in bottom slot nope. Now when I use display port I get the vga light on some of my boots, sometimes I don’t, googled this apparently it is an issue but it doesn’t affect performance. And it wasn’t for me it’s the same with and without the light. Used hdmi and I didn’t get the light the 4 or 5 times I restarted but who knows maybe I would have still got the light and just needed to test a bit more. Yet to test hdmi in a game though. I have had all other monitors unplugged while trouble shooting. Only thing plugged in are Ethernet. Wired keyboard. Wireless mouse. Mouse polling rate at 1000? Yep still having issues. 125. Yup still having issues, I’ve had no blue screens except for when I accidentally turned mcr and turned off power down enable which apparently isn’t good to do together. With and without mcr still having issues. 24H2? Issues, 23H2? ISSUES. I’m at a loss. I have 22 more days no questions asked Amazon return for this GPU. But I’m quite positive that this might be something else. Maybe not even hardware related but a setting that I need to change. I would buy a vrr monitor. But what’s the use if that wouldn’t fix my stutters? Then I have a expensive display and a pc that can’t show for it. I will definitely upgrade to 1440p vrr but not until I know my stutters are gone

As a sanity check run a really old game that's 100% single-player and offline with no anti-cheat like Bioshock or the original Portal.

Start with the basics and work up from there. Either of those games will run on a modern iGPU, so you can even rule out the graphics card.
