Re: 144hz cannot be pinned with 5800x in recent titles.

@CarpoVP Thanks for link! I found an interesting Windows setting, Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling.

Microsoft released it with a Windows Update but disabled it by default. I enabled it and my game seems to stutter less now.

The Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) GPU scheduler is responsible for coordinating and managing multiple different applications submitting work to the GPU. This relies on “a high-priority thread running on the CPU that coordinates, prioritizes, and schedules the work submitted by various applications.” 

Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling offloads the work from that high-priority CPU thread and instead gives it to “a dedicated GPU-based scheduling processor.”

    HAGS does help on some GPUs, mostly running on older CPUs (or low core-count). It can help in situations where the system is CPU-bound.

    For most users it doesn't do much and can give some additional issues with stutter. Often it only improves FPS by 1 or 2 (if at all).

    But of course it is worth trying.

    A 5800X should not make a PC CPU-bound, with any GPU on the market at the moment (unless something is wrong, no dual-channel RAM, bad cooling etc). Lowering the graphical options is the only way of raising FPS.
