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.

The mystery of Warzone. :confused:

Duckwave · 26 Jan 2022 at 16:46

Yeah, and it's a shame, because WZ is the reason I bought the 5950x and 6900xt.

I mean, I'm getting sick performance at Very Low now, so it's not a failure, but it would be nice to play at least normal.

pugheaven · 26 Jan 2022 at 16:48

I know, WZ on my 5700XT was perfectly fine (flawed and biased to controllers obviously lol), but ran fine as in smooth enough, but yeah this 6900xt...

Not being funny but i was running 1440p which I'd droped from 4k and the memory usage was over 15GB... somethings not right and this is a post complete reinstall of WZ as well. Such a crap game... however its that crpa I've put more hours into that game than any other yet I'm still crap at it lol

Shame that the most fun fps out there currently is so poorly optimised.

Do you have Recording/Streaming enabled in the AMD software? When I've had this issue in the past ((micro)stuttering, not with Warzone), going into AMD settings > Record & Stream and changing the Audio Channels option from Auto to Stereo fixed it for me.

I'll check later.

Another interesting thing, is that the stutters only appear when I start to run. Walking speed, I'm fine.

its a weirdly optimized game I solved all my problems by running 32gb system ram while its not using that much more than 16gb it smoothed out all the weirdness I used to get

everyone I know on multiple different systems all have little niggles with it

What issues were you having before?

Also, are you on 32gb @LtMatt ?

LtMatt · 27 Jan 2022 at 10:00

We should probably have a dedicated Warzone thread, for feedback and suggestions on resolving issues with the game.

I am indeed, sir. Been using 32GB for a few years now.

Have you tried borderless rather than fullscreen?

I was getting weird stutters but not frame drops

maybe when you zoomed every so often ect its hard to explain but it was not right

there was no pattern it could be jumping through a window or seeing someone but the ram solved all of it

2 x16 or 4x8?? It would be interesting to see your benchmarks if you dropped down to 16.

2x16GB, so dropping down to 1 stick would mean I am no longer using dual channel mode so not an ideal test, vs a 4x8 config dropping down to 2x8 but still in dual channel mode.

Can anyone help with inceasing the power limit?
I've tried with MPT I and I used "write to SPPT" but that doesn't work.
I tried red bios editor but that couldn't recognise any of the MPT files I'd saved and the only rom it recognised was my original bios which it said was not compatible when I tried to load it.
Are there bios' that I could flash to increase the power limit? (I've got a sapphire toxic).

Did a message come up on the screen confirming it was done after you clicked write to SPPT ? After you load the BIOS make sure your card shows in the drop down at the top before you do any alterations. Then you need to reboot after seeing the confirmation pop up.

Thanks varkanoid that seems to have worked. Hit 388W on port royal. Is there an easy to what your power limit is? GPU-Z doesn't seem to show it, it just percentages.

Illuminist · 27 Jan 2022 at 19:18

I fixed mine by lowing the audio sample rate my dudes

I use HWInfo with OSD via Rivatuner

Could I get recommendations for a ddr4 2x16gb ram kit please - in the corsair range preferably to match the rest of my setup, cpu is i7 10700k

Check your motherboard QVL list would be my recommendation for compatible memory configurations, as well as gathering feedback from users here.
