Why the fuck is the game stuttering every 2 seconds

3070, stable 144 fps in 3v3, BUT IT’S STILL CONSTANTLY STUTTERING

IMPLEMENT VULKAN ALREADY

Are you switching your weapons? Could be related to this.

Is New World killing our GPU/PSU? (Weapon swapping causes GPU power fluctuations)

I’m sure some of you are aware of the (for lack of a better term, I will call memory leak), where after playing an Outpost Rush or two, the game starts stuttering and when you weapon swap quickly, it causes the game’s FPS to tank. So I opened GPU-Z and monitored weapon swap. When weapon swapping, GPU load and “Power consumption” both decrease drastically. GPU load goes from around 60% down to 20% immediately, and that’s accompanied by an immediate fluctuation of power consumption as well. When …

I’m not sure what magic bullet you think this is.

I have the same problem in path of exile when I use directx but everything works perfectly fine when I use vulkan.

And my fps isn’t tanking, it’s always 144

I’m not sure what to tell you, other than that’s simply not how it works. Path of Exile is an older game with an entirely different engine. DirectX 12 support is most likely further up the list than Vulkan. (and that won’t immediately help solve any of the performance issues in this game either)

[auspex]

are you aware that nw runs on dx 11 and not 12?

[JakeL]

Yes, I’m fully aware, and I was saying that DX12 support is likely coming way before Vulkan would.

[auspex]

well, that would also help a lot, because I’m pretty sure these stutters and performance issues are related to dx 11

Again, as I said above, I sincerely doubt that would change much, but I do hope they work on some large structural changes to AZoth, the engine they use.
