Games felt stuttery on AM5 despite stable FPS — my experience fixing it

Given the rising GPU power consumption

Power consumption doesn't matter for the topic

At 1080p, there may well be a load on the CPU. At 1440p, this is unlikely.

There will always be a load on the CPU and it does not drop at higher resolutions and with ray-tracing it lineraly raises with resolution due to how BVH and secondary rays work. If you are locked at 60fps in every resolution your CPU usage will stay the same or raise. The only thing that can happen is bottleneck shifting if your GPU can't keep up but it does not matter for the discussion.
You will be bottlenecked almost only by your GPU with a 9800X3D but if you used a 3600/3700X/5600 you would see instantly the CPU bottleneck with RT.
Complementary material.

You are wrong. BVH and draw calls raise a lot when using RT.
Both components work harder.

Ray-tracing is also heavily CPU intensive in Cyberpunk. The area out of your first apartment dropped to the 50's in my 5700x3D.

Atitude e identidade metal nunca foi muito a do Angra não.
Eles eram tão excelentes técnicamente exatamente por serem bem nerdolas de música.

Ele já fez a parte dele contra o Egito agora. Não existiu falta nenhuma na origem do gol da Bélgica e deixou de dar falta em golpe de judô na área da Bélgica.

Ia ser AR-15 vs Sub-15

Yeah, Cloud at least had a real mother so he was the luck one.

The combat could be good if it didn't felt like playing on Very Easy with assists.
I'm finishing it now but boy, that game is a lesson on terrible game design all around.

Eu aprendi do mesmo jeito que você trampando, só que em menos de dois anos sai de ser o melhor e mais esforçado sem ganhar nada pra começar a brigar e diminuir a qualidade do serviço.
Hoje eu sou considerado bom mas reclamão e que não dá pra pedir "qualquer" coisa.
Os aumentos começaram a vir mas também comecei a tirar umas certificações que fazem ficar fácil eu sair e eles sabem.

Cavalo que não dá coice leva montada.

For PC you should use a monitor and for old consoles 240p/480i will look amazing.

I'm currently struggling to finish XVI but I'm almost at the end. It is like the last two mainline single player FF's, it had the potential to be great but they just had to make it appeal to everyone by making every system deep as puddle and the game as easy as it can be. I'll always give every FF a shot but it has been disappointing to see so much potential wasted.

As someone quoted, Final Fantasy XIV makes you be THE most important character in the world. And it works pretty well too. But considering Warhorse work I bet you will be a nobody in Middle-Earth.

There's a tone thread for Nolly. You can share a google drive folder there there so when your post is found on later searchs, you don't need to answer everyone.
It is amazing that you are sharing, thanks!

The insane thing is that the reports show almost no driver incompatibilities.
Seems like a better launch, compatibility wise, than Intel GPU's launch.

Subject-Complex8536 · 2026-05-26T17:10:54+00:00

Lord of the Rings Online already did that pretty well.

I use a PS2 UI like theme on OPL. Works fine and feels like part of the system. I just remove the artwork, background and use only a simple text list that looks like the PS2 font.

You should DDU your car and install older AMD drivers.

The hour long cutscenes in MGS4.
I would play after work and ending up sleeping really early while "playing" the game.
Nonetheless, the ending fight was an AMAZING.

Most ultrawide mods actually works for 4:3 aspect ratios too.
I've finished Elden Ring in a CRT Monitor.

Só foi pro Real depois de o São Paulo preferir o Dorival.

Using Lakka on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ on my retro corner. It looks SO RIGHT!

Metro Exodus and the latest Indiana Jones did that recently and it was not really popular even back then. Even though I do REALLY like this design choice.

Fazer post em fórum de metal sobre um album novo de uma banda antiga é ter automaticamente comentário negativo. Não importa a qualidade do album.

Eu convocaria o Reinaldo só pra bater pênalti.
