Stutters only in FF14, sometimes hours between stutters

[FriendlyPerson]

Have you tried using PBO/overclock?

I have stuttering issues on my desktop that has a Ryzen 5 5600X, 16 GB of RAM, and Radeon RX 7900 XT. The stuttering did not exist before 7.0 patch. I do not have a gamepad attached to my computer. The game is installed on an SSD. It is not over/under-clocked, just stock settings. This same computer scored ~21,000 "Extremely High" on the benchmark on maximum graphic settings.

However, my much weaker laptop that has a Ryzen 9 4900HS, 16 GB of RAM, and GeForce RTX 2060 does not get any stuttering issues whatsoever.

It's very frustrating because my desktop's specs are so far above the recommended specs... It should have absolutely no issue running the game smoothly at a capped 60 FPS. Since the 7.0 patch this game is the only game that I play which has any issues on my computer, and it totally shouldn't.

I have PBO set to Auto, but the 5800X3D is not overclockable from what I know.

Are your stuttering issues unpredictable like the rest of us here? It seems like we can go hours without any issues, so it's not a consistent thing.

I have stuttering when i watch youtube videos on my secound monitor. This was not a problem before Dawntrail. But iam not sure if its because of ff14. Currently AMD GPU Driver 24.5.1 to 24.7.1 is not that great. Suggest downgrade to 24.4.1

Iam using windows 10, game is running in borderless mode, i have 3 144hz monitors and a ryzen 7900x + 7900XT CPU/GPU combo. No OC.

Yes, it happens randomly at any time.
I can go minutes or hours between the appearance of any stuttering.
There can be 100 people around, or zero people, or even a cutscene panning across a scene with no characters visible at all.

It will just randomly stutter like it dropped two or three frames, and then go back to being normal for a random period of time.

How long are your stutters in terms of time? My game freezes for about half a second or so, but it seems like the length can vary.

[gilmorej]

Mine are microstutters... Like, fractions of a second. They can vary in length, but 1/2 a second is a very long time and they very rarely pause for that long. Also, when it does happen it's usually several quick stutters in a row.

What hardware are you running?

Ryzen 5 5600x
16 GB DDR 4 3200
Radeon RX 7900 XT
Corsair Force MP600 PCI-e Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSD

This computer is leagues above the recommended spec. My benchmark score was over 21,000 and "extremely high"
