So I suppose I didn't notice it when the game came out because I suppose I was wearing rose-tinted glasses about it, but I have had micro-stutter with it for as long as it has been out. None of the hotfix patches have fixed it or even helped. I'm about to tear my hair out over this so I made an account on this site in the hopes of getting this fixed. I was running at 1080p with most settings around med-high except shadows, which were on low and for antialiasing, order-independent transparency, dynamic shadows, motion blur, ambient occlusion, and sub-surface scattering, which were all off.
My rig is as follows:
CPU - AMD FX-8320 @3.5GHz (turbos to 4GHz, never overclocked)
CPU Cooler - CoolerMaster Hyper212 Evo Aircooler (in Push-Pull configuration)
Motherboard - MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
RAM - x2 8Gb sticks of AData DDR3 Ram (16Gb total)
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce (2Gb Vram) (running at default clock speeds)
PSU - EVGA Supernova 750 G2 (80 Plus Gold Certified)
Chassis/Case - NZXT S340 ATX Case
Cooling/Fans - 4 Case fans (2 intake at the front, 1 on top to exhaust, one in the back to exhaust)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB (for programs)
SSD - Samsung 850 EVO (for OS)
It seems to only be Black Ops 3 (and wierdly, the Valley Benchmark) that runs like this. Black Ops 1 and 2, Borderlands 2, and Dragonball Xenoverse all run fine. All these were ran at 1080p with everything as high as it could go, except in the case for Black Ops 3, of course. I use MSI Afterburner's custom fan curve utility to run a custom fan curve to keep my hard cooler, and it never really even touches 60c under load, so it's not an overheating problem. I've monitored Vram usage in-game with GPU-Z and it never goes above 1.8 Gb. I know this is only a 2Gb card, so perhaps i'm just hitting the Vram limit and that's what's causing the stutter.
I've tried uninstalling the drivers and then doing a fresh, clean install multiple times to no avail. I tried to use an old 750ti I had but my rig wouldn't even boot with it in. The CPU shouldn't be bottlenecking the GPU and the temps are all fine. I can't RMA the card either, since I bought it from reddit very lightly used, but otherwise has performed fine. I've tried all the little config edits that people have made in the "players" folder of Steam to no avail. Also tried messing around with some Nvidia control panel settings I heard could help (Maximum Prerendered frames and Performance mode). Changing the power mode to performance got me a little boost in FPS, but didn't stop the stuttering and the Prerendered Frames option didn't help either.
Anybody have any recommendations other than to wait on the game to be better optimized?
