Stutter persists after User.cfg tweaks and fresh Windows install
Running a Ryzen 7 5800, RTX 3070, 32 GB RAM, 5120×1440.
Originally my CPU was pinned at 100%, so I tried all the recommended User.cfg tweaks. That dropped CPU usage to around 85–90%, but the same stutter and low GPU utilization remain. What’s strange is that FPS, CPU, and GPU usage stay stable, no dips, spikes, or temp issues, yet gameplay gets extremely choppy in high-activity areas.
I’ve done the following:
- Fresh Windows install
- Latest BIOS, chipset, and NVIDIA drivers
- Game installed on NVMe SSD (rebuilt shader and cache folders)
- Tested DX11 & DX12 with multiple User.cfg setups (RenderAheadLimit, TripleBufferingEnable, etc.)
- All graphic settings set to Low, and I’ve tried various combinations with no improvement
- Disabled overlays and background applications
At this point, the game only feels smooth if I cap FPS to 30 FPS, which isn’t ideal. I’ve pretty much ruled out hardware as being the issue. Seems tied to Frostbite’s thread scheduling on Ryzen CPUs, but I’d really appreciate any confirmation or workaround if EA/DICE is aware of this.
