#Game stuttering a lot in a good PC

Hey guys, I'm having problems with the game optimization, I usually play with DLSS Quality + FG 2x + All max graphics, it runs well, performing in 160-180 fps, but the stuttering is the problem, mainly in Old Town region, the game starts to stutter a lot, from a high fps to a low a lot of times. I tried to limit FPS to 120 or less, but the stutter proceeds.

My specs:
RTX 5070 TI
i9 14900k
1x16gb DDR5

Ram issue, single channel 16gb is the most probable reason, also what 5070 model, that can help alot as certain models come with better VRam amounts and are overclocked from the factory

#

My 5070 TI is a Gigabyte one, 16gb Vram and it's the OC model

#

But I think the DLSS was the reason, I tried to turn off and then turn on and the game feels better

#

Also I activated the Virtual Memory, so the system allocate all the ram to the game

#

Uhm, not sure u know this but system ram shouldnt be used heavily for video ram replacement btw

#

Since system ram is slower and causes stutters

#

So what is the better option for me? At the moment I don't have money for more 16gb lol

#

Maybe lower the graphics?

#

Well, u have substantial vram so my initial guess was wrong since I presumed u were running an 8-12 gb card

#

Legit just look online for reccomended settings for ur cpu and card or try troubleshooting urself

nocturne fog
#

But I really think that was a game bug, considering I turned off the DLSS and the game stops 70% of the stuttering

hearty palm
#

Yeah dlss is like that

#

Can fix issues can cause em

nocturne fog
#

Yeah, I turned on that again and the game is running well

#

but there’s still some stuttering

hearty palm
#

Might have just been an error during changing lol, but of you notice it’s better without dlss keep dlss off

nocturne fog
#

and my configuration is good, but the ram is not enough i think

#

i solve the game bug but now my ram is stuttering the system

hearty palm
#

16gb vram is a LOT

#

No, your system ram shouldnt be getting used if u got 16gb vram

#

Again could just be a simple reboot of the setting fixing it

#

Yeah I know

#

U have 16gb vram

#

Even if ur on high settings

#

Ur vram shouldn’t be getting used so badly that it uses system ram

#

However my inital guess WAS ram due to all the zombie behaviours and the fact you’re gonna be on single channel 16gb

#

Could just be a bad mix of system ram unable to handle zombies and their behaviours and dlss goofing around

#

But yeah the official techland website states ur gonna want around 32gb ram for ultra graphics settings

nocturne fog
#

I entered in the game just to see, the game is using just 7300mb of vram

hearty palm
#

Thats aight, is that in a building like town hall or outside

nocturne fog
#

I'm running full hd, my screen is just 1080p

#

but the game runs well in 1440p too

hearty palm
#

Might wanna turn that down then

nocturne fog
hearty palm
#

As ur screen only shows 1080 using any resolution higher than that just wastes resources

nocturne fog
#

cause the gpu is new

#

i changed from a 2070 super

#

oh, i forgot to say, if my english is not right is because i'm not fluent

hearty palm
#

Thats fine

#

But yeah 16gb system ram may be the issue

#

Try troubleshoot exactly what conditions cause the stutters

#

If its near a large group of zombies, it’d be system ram, if its when near intense lighting it’d be a gpu problem

nocturne fog
#

yeah, it's alright with the vram in the town too

hearty palm
#

So clearly u cant see zombies there but ur gpu is clearly running well

nocturne fog
#

so yeah, i will try to upgrade the system ram anytime

hearty palm
#

So probably ram issue

nocturne fog
#

it's the last thing i need to do in my desktop

hearty palm
#

Try get the exact same model of ram

nocturne fog
hearty palm
#

Yikes

#

What model if I may ask?

nocturne fog
#

I didn't bought this standalone

hearty palm
#

Oh,

nocturne fog
#

I bought an upgrade that comes with CPU, motherboard and memory

hearty palm
#

So it’s a smaller known brand

nocturne fog
#

So i was not very stupid, i didn't had option lol

nocturne fog
#

I will try to buy some 2x16 from corsair or something

hearty palm
#

If I were you i’d try save for a more known brand, if anything try go for 5600 transfer 2 x 16 gb sticks

#

They should be cheaper since lower transfer speed but still more optimal than ur current setup

hearty palm
#

Also u know the 1-3 2-4 rule right?

nocturne fog
#

If I buy a stick with the same quantity and 5600 it's alright or that should be exacly the same?

nocturne fog
hearty palm
#

Well since they’d be different brands im not too sure

nocturne fog
#

dual channel right?

hearty palm
#

Since pichau isnt a brand i’ve heard of either

#

I dont know what model of ram chip they use nor if they are compatible with other brands

nocturne fog
#

and surprisely the ram is good lol

#

never had any problem

hearty palm
#

Till now

nocturne fog
#

and it's impossible to buy ram in my country, wtf

hearty palm
#

Shoot

#

Best of luck to ya

#

Or run lower graphics settings

nocturne fog
#

hearty palm
#

Gah dayum
