I have a "basic" setup. It's a 4K monitor at 60hz. It's a photo creation monitor and not a gaming monitior. So no gsync or anything like that.

Normally the game runs perfectly fine. It's always at 60fps even in Limsa when it's full. I have the in game fps at 60 and my windows 10 refresh rate at 60hz etc etc. However changing these settings doesn't do anything to fix the issue.

It's funny because the "random" stutter usually always causes a 1fps drop on the fps counter. So it will be a perfect 60 and once in a while for literally no reason (as far as I can tell) the fps will drop to 59 causing a little hitch/stutter.

The hitch/stutter is strong enough to be annoying when it does occur.

When I say it's random I literally mean random. For example yesterday I did a run of the newest alliance raid (Jouno or whatever it's called). Right before entering the first boss room for no reason the game stuttered then at the very end while fighting the final boss randomly again it stuttered when he was in the middle of his "sword attack" (when he slashes certain parts of the map).

Now today on reset I did it again for my coin, with zero stutters haha.

Other times it can also just randomly stutter on the first boss too (while fighting her).

It's always a 1fps drop (at least according to the RTSS app).

It's like the game "pauses" for a split second.

I hate when it happens during raids like the newest unreal. Funny enough this week when I did my unreal I had zero stutters. Last week I had a couple.

You see what I mean by random?

At this point I kinda just deal with it now sadly. It's not game breaking just annoying.
