Framerate stuttering

Folkb

Every so often when my frame rate drops just a couple of frames I get a stuttering effect. Is there anyway to fix this?

The odd things is I get this no matter how small the frame drop is. W/O vsync my frames can go from 100-98 and It will still stutter. With Vsync on I can be at 75 and drop to 73 and it will stutter. I searched a couple of older threads but none of those fixes helped.

I have the same problem. Tried unparking CPU, putting the process on high priority and changin every single graphic option inside the game without success. Seems like the game haves some difficulties on load new areas because I noticed the stuttering when moving or looking around.

If there can be any form of improvement on the performance for more stable frame rate i'd be thrilled. i notice some really weird things sometimes too that seem absurd to cause stuttering.

Don't know if this is old news but it's worth a try some of these tweaks

I went so far as to delete all add ons and set my GFX to minimum and I still get these drops in framerate from 100-78 and get stuttering. Makes me not want to play.

So I pulled out my older gaming laptop which uses a 780M and runs the game at about 68-81 FPS instead of the other rig which uses a 980M and sits at 100 FPS and my older laptop does the exact same thing. This is after performing a complete Windows 8.1 re-image and loading up ESO.

@Folkb maybe you have the same issue as me?

interesting, that very well could be, it does exactly sound like that from the description although I never noticed if they were roughly the same spots but it does make sense that during my testing I would run a circuit back and forth on my horse and see the stuttering when hitting certain areas in my circuit.

Too bad there's no fix then

Hey everyone, new user here but I have a pretty beefy PC and have the same issue. I installed ESO last night and discovered it right away. I have a 60hz monitor and keep VSync and Triple Buffering on, and in certain towns (I'll have to log in later to get specific names), my framerate will drop to mid 50s and I will get stuttering. In most games that usually only happens when framerates drop below 30, but in ESO's case it seems like there's something else going on because you shouldn't see stuttering when frames are that high.

I have a Core i7 970 (6 cores/12 threads) @ 4GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 980 SC, and two SSDs in RAID-0. Power is set to High Performance in the OS and graphics card settings, CPU parking is disabled, and CPU throttling is disabled in the BIOS as well. GPU usage never jumped above 50% and 1.8/4GB of VRAM. I missed monitoring the CPU usage, but I plan on going over that tonight. I can't imagine it was too terribly high, though.

I play several other games and have never encountered something like this where anything above 30fps will cause a stutter. Very odd.

I've been looking into this issue last week and let me say that I was finally able to solve my problem. after much digging, research, dusting old posts... I have found a fix for my stuttering. Before I start, here's my rig.

Board: Asus P8z77-v Pro
Bios: Version 2104
VGA: MSI gtx 970 Twin Frozr
PSU: coolermaster 700w silent pro RS-700-amba-d3
Intel Core i7-3770K IvyBridge 3.50GHz
MEM: G-Skill 4x 4096 Mbytes 1600 MHZ F3-12800CL9-4GBXL
HDD: OCZ vertex 4 (main) Samsung 840 evo 240g (second)
COOLER: Stock
OC: Msi gaming app
OS: Windows 8.1 pro

I was definitely having some minor stuttering, wasn't game breaking or anything but really annoying. I got around it by overclocking my CPU, as strange as it sounds, I ordered one of those cooler, 212-evo for 30 bucks and overclocked my CPU from 3.5ghz to 4.4ghz.

I'm not saying this is what you should do, but you might want to look closely at your cpu, unparking the core and everything, getting the optimal setting in your Bios for your CPU, maybe up the voltage just a little bit see if it works out for you. I'd start from there.

Now it's smooth as... baby skin, 65 FPS playing in 4k DSR everything maxed out not even a single stutter.
