Why is my 7800X3D stuttering in Neverness to Everness?
The difference after tuning the timings was night and day; those annoying micro-stutters while zooming through the city completely vanished. The 7800X3D's massive cache should be a beast, but with the dynamic assets in Neverness to Everness, my memory latency was fluctuating between 85-98ns, causing frame times to bounce from 12-28ms. I first tried enabling 'Ultimate Performance' mode in Windows, but the CPU just sat at 85℃ and the stutters stayed—clearly, a surface-level fix wouldn't work for a deep sync conflict. I went into the BIOS, locked the RAM at 6000MHz, and set the FCLK to 2000MHz for a perfect 1:1 sync. RTSS showed frame times collapse from 18-35ms down to a tight 7-11ms, which is peak responsiveness. I did experience some random reboots during loading screens when I first pushed PBO too hard, but setting an 85℃ temp wall fixed it. Core temps are now 62-68℃. Switched the performance mode via the AMD Adrenalin software.
