Stuttering

[Jackson Redstar]

I been noticing lately sometimes at crowded events I get alot of 'stuttering' from time to time - where the animations start/stop rapidly, even with a fixed view position. This can also be observed in the GPU task manager window - rapid cycling of gpu usage, Sometimes it clears up on its own after a bit sometines requires a restart, Wondering if this is a SL issue, or, I think more likely a Windows issue, and if anybody has seen it and what the cure (if any) might be

@Jackson Redstar this issue has been lengthily debated in a couple of threads in these fora, both this one and the viewer forum.

I'll put the links up shortly when I get on my PC since my 'phone won't let me post links.

ETA now I'm on my PC, this:

and this, though not necessarily related:

and for good measure I raised a FS JIRA though the devs at FS seem unwilling to comment, so far:

I experienced problems with the previous GeForce driver versions including 531.61for my RTX 3070. Updating to 531.79 from 2023-05-02 solved it, my PC is very similar to yours and I do not experience stuttering.

In the GeForce forum people report stuttering problems with the previous drivers. So worth taking it easy and see, what NVidia reports back.

NVIDIA response: "Some monitors may contain an invalid EDID which can result in missing resolutions/refresh rates/display issues." They recommend updating monitors firmware.

Game ready drivers: Roll-back to driver 531.58 reported solved problems, for me it was updating to driver 531.79 as mentioned above.
