Weird stutter/hitch occurs randomly.

[DiasFlacOg]

Ok so I would like to give an update on my situation just to bring some awareness or hopefully can help someone else.

I decided to dig up an old driver from late 2023 to see if it would make a difference. I got the last driver I used in EW when my game was still running perfectly smooth with zero stutters or hitches. That driver being 537.58 from October 2023.

To my surprise using this old driver my game works perfectly. Those weird random 1-2 frame stutters/hitches that would randomly pop up while doing raid/dungeons/pvp/or just randomly in the world are completely gone now. My game is perfectly smooth. I been playing with it for the past 2 days and I can confidently say that it fixes my issue.

I knew it was the drivers. I say this because even back in EW certain driver revisions would cause this issue. However the 537.58 driver fixed that issue (even back in EW).

Also anything starting from at least 555.99 has this issue (the random stutter/hitch). Unfortunately Nvidia no longer has drivers from Nov 2023 to May 2024 so I can't test those out.

But anything from 555.99 all the way to the newest one 572.47 has this annoying issue.

I would also like to add that I play on a "normal" basic 4K monitor at 60hz (nothing fancy like freesync/gsync).

With this old driver my fps stays locked at 60fps with zero stutter or hitches.

The only problem now is that if I want to have perfect smooth 60fps gameplay on DW I have to use an old driver from late 2023 hahaha. Luckily DW works well with it I don't see any visual differences with 537.58 vs any of the newest drivers. But again it sucks that I have to use a driver from over a year ago to get the game to stop stuttering/hitching randomly.
