BF1 - DX12 Microstutter

[Squanchy]

Hey all,

 

So I know there are tons of threads about this, however there are so many different methods people are saying... I wanted to ask to possibly get a solid answer, When I play BF1 in DX12 i get this micro stutter all the time, however when I swap over to DX11 no micro stutter, FPS is about 90~ on both API's. I have a 8700k @ 5.0 and a 1070 Ti if that matters. 

 

Edit: I have tried windowed/windowed fullscreen/fullscreen .. all the samething.

Any Ideas? Thanks

Yea. Keep DX11, and your Problem is solved.

More average fps, and FAR more min-fps (that's why DX12 stutters, min-fps are low = frame drops).

 

With other words: DX12 is bad optimized/implmemented. Like it's the case for most DX12 Games (Hitman for example is a pretty good DX12 implementation).

When a game gets built from Directx12 in Mind,... it's usually better than "Wrapping DX11 into DX12 languages"

Which is why many people call many DX12 implementations as DX12 "Wrapper" methods, and these games, usually perform better on low end rigs in some cases using it, but higher end rigs can suffer as well compared to DX11 renderers.

 

DX12 is great when done well,... but the shift from GPU Driver Optimizations to Developer Only Optimizations has halted DX12's progress going mainstream.

I assume you’re on 1440 with the ultra preset to see those frames? How’s usage holding up on the card and cpu?

 

like they have mentioned, it doesn’t work well, so I would avoid it. I only did it a few times and it was quite unplayable.

Yeah after looking around more... guess it's just a thing. Alot of people say it's just broke. But yeah. When I load up the gpu/cpu chart when it microstutters the cpu spikes.. 

 

Anyways I'll just use dx11.. hopefully in bf5 they make it work well.
