@7empePL+ the fact like 2-3 other peeps are getting the same exact 3 frametime spike pattern is also a big giveaway.
As for change I did go from a 1080ti on driver 442.59 (last driver without reflex which didn't have the issue from what I remember) to a 3080.Nothing else has been changed other then that.
Sadly I can't go back to a reflexless driver on a 3080 just to test if the specific 3 pattern spike shows up on it because it could rule out the driver then and the only culprit left would be the game.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/notifications/comment/202948/ Yea another issue that Nvidia messed up.I tried contacting manuel there I got ignored.This was 25 days ago.
I used the command to turn off reflex and since the game stopped capping at 138 fps I assumed it worked and reflex was off.It did not fix the frametime when testing so I used rtss to frame limit to 138 and 99% of the frametime was rock solid 7.1ms instead of wildly flailing between 6.9-10ms.
Also the Nvidia fps limiter doesn't workd properly with Apex either as the frametime still remains uncontrollable.RTSS does it tho.
@7empePLI just tried using the nvidia fps limiter to 141 on apex with and without "reflex" using this command "+gfx_nvnUseLowLatency 0" and the frametime was still erratic on both.
The only difference the command did was removing the 138fps cap.
Reflex not actually getting properly disabled as it should maybe?
You said it yourself "responsibility of frame pacing with Reflex is moved to the game" the game isn't fully disabling reflex even with the command then.
Another question is if its the game itself thats not letting reflex be disabled properly then why did driver 442.59 not have these erratic frametimes?That tells me the driver is related.
i have this issue too i have 1060 nvidia i used run fine before new update i play 75hz on vsync.
I found a fix for these kind of spikes, at least for AMD. Rivatuner + double buffered vsync. This is the only way to get rid of them.
I still need to download the update and check.
@supermatze0202Out what curiosity.What kind of headset do you have?
I played 3 games with no issues but the moment I lowered my mic on my sennheiser game one I got a 3 frametime spike stutter.Wasn't reproducable as it only happened the first time I lowered my mic (the headset mic turns off while its up and turns on while its down)
Don't know if its just a giant coincedance.
Ok I played 15 games or so and the first time I got the 3 quick frametime stutter
* Was when I lowered my mic on my seinheiser (only happened once)
* 2nd time mic was lowered already
* 3rd time happened with mic up but was down few mins earlier
* 4th time mic was up yet it still happened.
I don't think mic is related since on the forth time it also happened with mic up.
https://imgur.com/a/HyrZJUJ same old same old frametime spike (bit different but I can tell its the same)
@supermatze0202Tried removing the command and disabling fullscreen optimization and sadly it still happened.Same 3 quick frametime stutters.
Also there's an option to disable reflex which was already set to disabled....So the issue is not because of reflex?wut
Wierdly the frametime is still erratic if I don't use RTSS so there's something going on even with reflex disabled.
I'm so close to uninstalling this game.
Naa I'm not playing without g-sync.Tearing/stutter are a nono for me.
Also tried admin mode without the mic jack to make sure and nothing changed...Still randomly got it.
I play on a 1080p.
Also I didn't have this issue on driver 442.59 on my 1080ti on the same motherboard.
I'm wondering if its indeed the driver or there's something actually wrong with my 3080.Fkcin frustrating
Nothing makes sense.It's so random when it happens but it's consistently the same * spike.I've tried and checked everything I could (even event viewer) and nothing correlates with it when it happens.
The only thing of note I noticed is an error under admin events in event viewer "Session "dfa2c640-651d-488d-a479-2fd7a7ca6e29" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022" while playing apex. But it didn't happen every time the spike happened so I assume they are unrelated.
I have something like this once in a while on shooting range. But I am RTX 2080 Ti and 461.40. Also in-game in the drop ship framerate jumps up and down like crazy depending on where I look. I am playing as 2560x1080 on 3440x1440 monitor (if that counts for something). The cpu is 10700k.
I'm having the exact same problem with 2080ti
In range, the game runs very smoothly, but in pubs, the frame rate is not stable. Especially in dropship, the framerate is only 30-40, and when I land, it is less than 100. This problem has been occurring since season 8.
@supermatze0202Same reason as always.Most ppl play trough it or don't percieve it that badly.
Reminds me of the Monster hunter world input stutter.It was basically a stutter related to what you pressed.EVERYONE had the issue as it was tied to key presses but it was subtle enough that most and I mean MOST didn't notice it or claimed they didn't have it.In the end a random modder from Nexus fixed the issue for capcom.
TLDR:Don't trust ppl's perception unless they have proof saying otherwise.
