[@lflyr6287]

Joker Productions : that's because AMD-s GCN architecture has a true Mantle API = Vulcan API = DX 12 API support on a hardware level with true ASYNC capability included whereas Nvidia GTX and RTX cards still only emulate low quantities of ASYNC on a software driver level. And in this game as well as in Battlefield V (which is an Nvidia sponsored raytracing game) the 5700XT is faster than the RTX 2080 in 1080p and 1440p on Ultra details :).

[@patent5421]

It's March but it helped me now. I had previously nvidia GPUs and switched to RX 5700 yesterday and instantly encountered terrible stuttering in this game which didn't have place on nvidia GPUs. Enabling Async compute fixed it. Thanks

[@TheColemancreek]

Plot Twist -- Joker's barber is actually Lisa Su and she drops him the daily knowledge with his fresh cuts. Also I tested this with an Nvidia card and it decreased my performance by around 10%. No surprise there just thought someone might be curious.

[@kishaloyb.7937]

If you have the latest Nvidia Turing cards, then Async compute will benefit you, cause the Nvidia's latest cards support those features, previous generation cards based on Maxwell and Pascal might suffer in performance cause they don't support Async compute at hardware level. All AMD cards using the GCN/RDNA architecture support this feature and that's the reason why AMD cards will benefit more from this feature than their Nvidia counterparts.

[@DK-rm1xw]

THX ALOt WENT FROM GOOFY TO 60 FPS 🎉🎉🎉 FINALLY

[@gaurd3]

I watched the side by side multiple times I don't notice any hitching in the actually game play. Yeah the graph sets your mind at ease, but I don't see a difference. Shit I remember when you didn't need a graph to see "hitching" or "micro stuttering" like when I used to run Nvidia cards in SLI. Man that was a pain. Ended up disabling one card in many games.

[@wtfronsson]

Bad frame times can still ruin the experience, especially in a game where you would want to aim with your mouse. It will be less noticeable on high framerates, but everyone doesn't have that high framerates to begin with. So for someone running the game with a budget card at barely 40-50fps, or someone going for high resolution with high settings, this issue will be far worse. Also, if you are used to playing with good frame times, then you are just going to notice when they go bad. Watching a 60fps video is of course not going to show what bad frame times at 80fps look like, and even then it's also about how the game controls feel. And you won't need a graph to notice it's messed up.

[@gaurd3]

Dismissive drive-by posting in a sensitive topic. Thanks for the info. . I now understand the theoretical basis. I still wonder how that specific graph translates to real world performance. I’ve been gaming for a long time so I’m naturally skeptical of what really is noticeable and need to be concerned about. . I suffered from hitching before, which was also no noticeable over KZbin. SLI mess.

[@PixelTheory]

That's actually one of the biggest issues with gameplay videos on KZbin. So many gamers record footage with an uncapped framerate meaning that it all looks bad anyway. If he had capped the FPS to 60 on both you would have most likely noticed one being smoother than the other.

So... I do have the problem that I have a stable Framerate (most of the time ~ 70 - 80 FPS) but after a few minutes the framerate goes suddenly down to ~15 FPS for a few seconds. That's the case since the release of the game on two PCs with two different graphic cards (2070 Super, RX 5700 XT), no matter if I choose DX12 or Vulkan. I am wondering on which systems R* has tested the PC version of this game. I could also imagine that they didn't have even tested it, if I think about all the bugs that this game has. Hopefully they'll fix them in the near future, if not, I guess that it will be their second baddest PC port already. I've of course tried the method that you have shown in the video, but unfortionally it has only reduced the framedrops.

Kl4vi3rlack - Alt i got the same exact problem. Have you fixed it?

[@thatonerandomdude07]

@@rizhateuku Sadly I couldn't fix it. But the game had so many bugs anyway, that I've stopped playing it some months ago. I don't think that R* has anything fixed yet.

Thank you for this tip! Amazing solution! I was getting pissed with this stuttering issue and when I changed the value to true it really fixed the issue. PS: I am using a RTX 2070super, then not only this fix works for AMD cards, but also maybe for some NVIDIA ones as well
