[PC] Possible AMD X3D CPUs Stuttering FC 24 & 25
I decided to make this new post as all the other posts are old and no mentions of AMD X3D cache CPUs.
I've recently purchased a 9950X3D and tried both FC 24 & 25. In the main menu, some cut scenes, and pause menus are smooth as silk but the game itself is a stutter CITY. Best one word to describe is 'unplayable'. Looking at the frame-time graph I can see that there is a sharp fps drop/spike every 0.5-1 seconds constantly for like 30-40 seconds stops for like 5ish seconds and kicks back again. It's not even that consistent, this explanation was one scenario. In fact in FC 24 it is exactly the opposite, it lags during cut scenes and some what normal game play with minor to sometimes heavy spike lags which btw did not use to happen anyways.
Relevant PC specs if it makes any difference:
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
- ASUS ROG RTX 4090 OC Ed. 24G
- Windows 11 Pro
- OS: on Samsung 980 PRO 1TB
- Games: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB
Short list of things I tried (did not work):
- I'm on a fresh Windows 11 installation (Latest chipset. graphic drivers, bios)
- Forcing game to run on CCD0 (cache cores)
- Forcing game to run on CCD1 (frequency cores)
- Disabling Hyper-Threading
- running game elevated, high priority, disabling Windows 11 game-mode, Windows High Performance Power Plan
- Run the game lowest settings, highest settings, full screen 60Hz/144Hz, borderless, windowed
- Moving the game to the same drive as the operating system
Things I tried that worked (Not really):
- Tested the game with a friends PC (Intel 12900k), game runs smoothly out of box
- Tested the game with my old broken Intel 14900k, game runs smoothly out of box
- Tested the game with my laptop (Intel 13950HX) games runs smoothly out of box
I do not have an AMD non-X3D CPU to test any further.
So, There was no snake oil seller I could find out in the wide internet that had a decent suggest fix for this. The only explanation I see here, there is something wrong with FC 24 & 25 that does not like the extra cache or the architecture. According to Reddit posts date back 10+ months ago. This issue been going on since 7950X3D days around a year ago s well and still persist.
Every other game I played and tested work out of the box. Please fix this issue as this game currently unplayable on my main daily use PC. I will not pull my laptop out every time as a solution when I need to fill my soccer cravings.
