Yeah, I get some strange noises when the stuttering is at its max. I also get them , when I speed up the replays to max speed.

I reinstalled windows because I was on the insider builds and the recent build (fast ring) fucked some stuff up.

I get the zoom stutter as well but I haven't reinstalled Windows 10 since it was released. Also micro stutters are accompanied by audio stutter so I'm wondering if there was some audio drivers update. All this started recently when I came back after a few months of delegation so something must've been 'updated' during that time. Creator's update also messed up a few things on my PC and it might be a factor, nothing like booting into a black screen after Windows Update and having no sound after waking PC up from sleep every single time.

I tried that after I made those screenshots. I've set every possible setting to max performance. It helped a little. But it's still not as smooth as before reinstallingwindows.

The global setting means that the driver is using the default nVidia profile, and many of those settings will give you a performance hit. You should make a dedicated profile for FA and override the individual settings.

ETA my German isn't what it should be (what with my grampaw having shot all the Nazis and so such), it looks like your power management is in adpative mode? Try placing it in full performance mode.

Please list the individual settings' values in your nVidia control panel for your FAF profile.

I tried that now. It helped a bit. Though unparking of CPUs just applies to notebooks, afaik.

It definitley gets better the less trees there are on the map. If almost all are reclaimed I have no issues.

try this. Putting the SIM and rendering thread on different cpus really helps. (and should be implemented into the client somehow)

I played with the settings for over an hour. Even changed the non-graphical ones. I disabled all UI-mods. Deactivating Zeps-minimap mod helped a bit, but its still noticeable, espacially on maps with a lot of trees. Also I could swear I've seen the same problem on the latest casts of gyles and heavens youtube channel. They propably didn't notice it, but it felt the same way. It appeard during zooming in and out. I could swear it's related to the trees popping in an out.

I also moved the folder that stores the mods from my HDD to my second SSD. It didn't help.

I turned on the fps counter of nvidias shadow play. The fps are dropping as low as 32 fps depending on how fast I zoom in and out. Even when not zooming it jumps between 58 and 60 fps, insteaf of a steady 60 fps. I never had such issues before.

AA is turned off, LOD is on low, fidality on medium, shadow fidality on low, render sky disabled, display world border disabled, no bloom, etc pp. Assist to cap mexes disabled. All rings deactivated. 1080p @60hz

This is a mistery. Just a few months ago I even downsampled the game via nvidia settings from 1440p to 1080p, it still was working buttery smooth.

You say you reinstalled Win10. Does that mean you had Win10 on this exact same rig before and it was fine?

ETA never mind, I see you have made that clear. The stuttering while zooming is interesting... It almost sounds like a texturing/bus bandwidth issue like the good ol AGP days. The 960 should give you no issue however. Does the problem persist on lowest quality settings? Disable stuff like threaded optimization, vsync and so on and see what happens.

i have medium performance issues on pgenom spartiate when people send spam across the map, seems like pathfinding related.

In theory any map can have that feature and since i don't know every map on faf (probably more than 7k) i prefer asking.

I thought that was only an option on adaptive maps?
