Scary stutters/slowdowns in dungeons

[LucianaRothcall]

So i just got a new laptop a few days ago for playing XIV, and.. every so often in dungeons (about 2-3 times per dungeon) and possibly raids, the image stutters or slows for about half a second before continuing, and there doesnt seem to be any cause for it aside bad luck so far.. does anyone have a better idea as to a cause or fix?..

Specs: i7-6820HK (OC'd to 4.1GHz), 2x GTX1080 SLI, 2x850 EVO 500GB in RAID0, MSI GT83VR

Also, not my video but this demonstrates the kind of stutter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xrk...youtu.be&t=20s after the fade to black and the dragon reappearing it stutters

The stuttering I was experiencing when that video was made was occurring 2-3 times a minute. It was the result of an improper Windows installation. So unless you decided to install a fresh copy of Windows on your new laptop, it's highly unlikely the same problem.

It was a custom install using a windows media something-made bootable USB (after about 8hrs of failed installs from forgetting cant boot from a CD in UEFI..) since i bought the laptop without the RAID0 SSDs. reinstalling fixed it?

[Laraul]

If you launch MSINFO32 and check the system summary, for BIOS mode does it say Legacy or UEFI?

Yes reinstalling Windows fixed it.

[LucianaRothcall]

Oh, its in UEFI mode now, but ill give the reinstall a try and report back

[LucianaRothcall]

Tried the reinstall.. so far havent seen anty stutters and then i crashed (probably 1100002) in ampadoor keep..


EDIT: aaand as soon as i post that and log back in the stutters are now back and more frequent...

I've been seeing stutters in Dungeons and the like, as well. I could be walking along in Ul'dah and everything will be fine, the moment I enter the Hall of Flames or the Quicksand, my framerate drops like a stone.

Inb4 "That Guy" poses the usual "There's a bunch of people" reasoning: My framerate stays consistent while even in Idyllshire. It only bogs down when I'm in an "Internal" cell of any given map, be it dungeon, city, or otherwise...regardless of player count.
