Use the same method for Apex.

Update @LtMatt
I found this where you describe what's the purpose of those settings.

Might be the solution affecting dual monitor Navi users?

Good stuff. Seems the Pulse has BIOS issues, since others are using this with great success.

Has this work for anyone though?
Stutter that I've seen has more relation to fluctuating gpu frequencies. I'm not sure I understand how the monitor would help smooth this out?
I could see a more smoother gaming experience if the fps was already high, somewhat already stable and you still got stutter, microstutter.

Well I Just got BSOD with system thread exception not handled on Mafia 2 after changing settings.. Pretty bad that 2019 GPU can't run a old game like mafia 2 lol

So making those changes (IE: voltage swing to 1 and PreEmphasis to 2) causes BSOD?

No. The opposite.

Been experiencing hitching in Borderlands 3, not sure if it's the game as I'm running it in DX12 mode or the drivers, inclined to think it's the games DX12 mode as other games seem fine

What else would have gave that BSOD, never came across it before until now?

Did you undo the changes ((IE: voltage swing to 0 and PreEmphasis to 0)
Reboot PC
Play Mafia 2

Yeah back to stuttering lol inside buildings it's wild lol. Noticed that enhanced sync was on my wattman so maybe that might be the culprit

Do me a favor, try ISLC:
https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/intelligent-standby-list-cleaner-v1000-released

Start the app:
Place mouse cursor on Stop and stop the service
Change 'Free Memory is Lower Than: 2048
Enable Custom Timer Resolution
Click in box for 'Wanted Timer Resolution: 1.00 (if Current timer resolution already reads 1.00 skip this)
Change ISLC Polling Rate (ms): 2000 or 4000
Place mouse cursor on Start and start it up again
Current Timer Resolution should go down to 1.00
Play Mafia 2 (keep ISLC running in background) report back here if it's smoother or not

EastCoastHandle · 13 Oct 2019 at 21:40

Ok, Borderlands 3 with 3600X+ 5700 XT and there is micro/stutter. Unlike what was shown in the initial reviews

Start at 6:21

Kevin Matthews · 13 Oct 2019 at 21:45

OK tried that I've used 2000 stilll stuttering and lagging not as bad though, should I try 4000 and see if any improvement? Fps is capped 130 1440p
