Try them both and see which one suits better. High refresh is ideal for FPS shooters, but 1080P is quite a low resolution so you'll always have the GPU performance headroom to move into 1440P easily.

Ive been experimenting a bit with the stuttering and it seems as though it is directly related to the VRAM Usage. Once I use a certain amount, it looks to be about 70%, then that is when the game starts to stutter. Strange.

I might have a play with SAM later and see if that is the problem.

@LtMatt

No I have not sorted it entirely I feel its possibly abit better.. I did a fresh Windows install at weekend and I still get a a few micro stutters per game

I also used this video which helped with fps boost but sadly did not entirely remove stutter

Try the suggestion @Duckwave suggested on the previous page.

Yes I did notice his 1.5 memory change that's one thing I have not tried :cry:

I will have a look later

Can you explain your issue? If you experiencing occasional stutter in WZ where you experience sudden frame drops that then revert to normal, that is probably the VRAM issue I have. The setting that affects this most seems to be texture resolution, if you set this to Very Low then I suspect your stutters will disappear.

Try it and let me know.

Yes I get micro stutters occasionally when frames seem to drop a little I am playing on 1440p and mostly high settings 150-180 fps

I can try later after work

Use Radeon overlay so you can see the VRAM usage and experiment with your texture resolution settings. I think you will see a correlation between your stutters stopping and your VRAM usage lowering.

Frankly, I'm just glad I can see some line of logic. Before it seemed to be random and it's difficult to rectify a problem you don't understand.

When I was monitoring it my vram and actual ram was both at around 15gb then I changed the memory setting to 0.75 and it lowered these to 12gb ram and 14gb vram but stutters still there, however I have not tried 1.5

Texture Res is the big one. Have you actually changed that? What's the current value?

Also your frames seem low for a 6900xt. What CPU?

It's on high atm I think I tried normal also yeah my cpu is quite old it's i7 10700k with 16gb 3600 c18 ram

Yeah, high texture resolution uses an insane amount of memory comparatively to even Normal. I'm confident once you lower this setting you will have a smooth experience. But I would start with very low.

Yeah I will try it, although in menu it says I'm only using like 5gb/16gb available haha

Yeah, same here.

It's weird.

So basically I just enter 1.5 in the document for memory and then turn down textures to low in game ?

I would honestly just change the texture resolution to very low. Not low, very low. That way we can determine if we are having the same issue. If your stutters disappear, you know it's a VRAM issue and we can go from there.

OK will have a look after work if I get time tonight thankyou

Duckwave · 26 Jan 2022 at 14:32

Tried with SAM on and off. No difference regarding stutters.

Interestingly, I used Super Resolution Samping or whatever it is called to upscale to 1440p. Normal actually seemed to run better.

Shrugs. Weird game I think is the conclusion.

pugheaven · 26 Jan 2022 at 15:13

OK, so, I've had problems with stuttering in War Zone no matter what res, no matter what graphics settings... and yet can get anything upto 180fps... so I changed to VSYNC on because it's that poorly coded it can have big drops... and even running silky 60fps isn't silky, feels like microstuttering and drives me mad. So, I've amended the following file as I noticed that GPUZ was reporting 15,160MB of VRAM being used even at 1440p so there's obviously some sort of weird memory leaks... and then I checked the following file (as there isn't a game setting for this) and was set to 0.85. So I've amended this to 0.7 to see if this fixes, will report back tonight!

C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\Call of Duty Modern Warfare\players\adv_options.ini

// generated by Infinity Ward
version = 1
VideoMemoryScale = 0.70
RendererWorkerCount = 7
ConfigCloudStorageEnabled = 0

I've then made this file READ ONLY to ensure it stays... lets see if it lowers the VRAM from maxing out!

If this doesn't work I'll increase to 0.95 instead to cater for the actual use but I don't understand why WZ uses so much VRAM! Never ever used this much with my 8GB 5700XT... never had this problem with that card either on pretty much the same settings.

I am starting to wonder what is wrong with me, my system, and my individual components that Warzone continues to run without a single hitch or stutter.

I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.

Warzone ran fine on my 6900XT LtMatt, had zero problems with it. Same with the 6800XT i had before it, however @djay had terrible stuttering on warzone last year but i think was fixed on his recent 6900.
