Two much stutterring

[chrisgibon]

I have a pretty powerful setup featuring a Ryzen 7 9850X3D, an RTX 5080 graphics card, 64GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, and a 2TB Crucial CT2000T710SSD8 PCIe 5.0 SSD. The entire setup is supported by an ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI motherboard.
Despite this hardware, I'm experiencing far too much micro-stuttering in IL2-KOREA.

Sure, it's an Early Access version, but it's honestly very frustrating.

Yet, everything runs incredibly smoothly in IL2-BOS, MSFS2024, and DCS World.

Interesting, my setup is a notch or two below yours in specification, but I notice no stuttering.

Are you in VR or on a panel?

[Dash,Polder]

That CPU has split cores, so it needs tuning.

I don't use VR. Just an LCD monitor SAMSUNG LC27G75TQSUXEN via DisplayPort:

2560x1440  @ 240 Hz (HDR Off / Sync ON) but also tested at 120 Hz and HDR OFF / Sync OFF: same stuttering.

@Dash,Polder: That is indeed the case for processors x3d with more than eight cores, but the Ryzen 7 9850X3D has only a single die with 8 cores.

If you can pull up some GPU utilization metrics, let us know what you see when it's stuttering. That will help you know where the bottleneck is. If it's < 99% then you're CPU bound.

BTW 9850X3D can still benefit from a Balanced power plan + disabling the USB Suspend and PCIE Link State Mgmt power saving features. Small gains, but are a best known practice. 

[chrisgibon]

Okay, I'll give the "Balanced" power mode a try. I had already disabled USB Suspend and PCIe Link State Power Management, and set the CPU power state to 100% for both the minimum and maximum settings.
None of that made any difference.
I'm trying to use NVIDIA's FrameView, but it doesn't seem as powerful or detailed as what I've seen elsewhere. What other tools would you recommend?

[HybridHanger]

Try the CapframeX overlay. 

[chrisgibon]

Okay, thanks for the capture tool.
I just made two recordings to compare 10 minutes of low-altitude flight with an Me 262 on the Rhineland Summer map against 10 minutes of low-altitude flight with an F-80 on IL2_Korea.

[chrisgibon]

After countless attempts—each more useless than the last—I finally resigned myself to the idea that I had to switch from HIGH mode to BALANCED.
I assume the HIGH and ULTRA modes are reserved for owners of 4090 or 5090 graphics cards.

Indirect lighting = off, dlss=quality, fps limit=90. That should guarantee a stutter-free experience on a 5080.

Optimalization incoming (I hope!) https://media.il2-korea.com/news/dd_80. My main problem is with cities. Seoul and larger villages are at half the FPS (on RTX5059!), although they're not as detailed as in DCS, where I have maximum framerate and the cities are several times larger. I hope they fix this. 👍

More about how much VRAM you have to burn.
