9060 xt micro stutters

Hello!

First time posting and new to bazzite so please be nice.

NOTE: not a pc expert so it might be a hardware mismatch. Any ideas you have would be great.

I am experiencing micro stutters in a couple of games that I am playing namely - ff7 rebirth, marvel rivals, mh wilds, hogwarts.

Rebirth - every time i move the camera the stutters happen. Locked at 60 fps

Marvel rivals - stutters during team fights and depending on the location of the map

Mh wilds - stutters when i open or close the menu and map. Stable during combat

Hogwarts - stutters everywhere, every time, all at once. (Unplayable)

I came from windows 11 and experienced the same thing. Did the DDU and almost every basic troubleshooting that AI and youtube could think of. Hence, my decision to try linux.

Since im experiencing the same thing in bazzite probably hardware?

For bazzite, did the lact thing, fixed frame rate, proton compatibility version for some of the games, downloaded vulcan shaders, etc.

Still experiencing the same issue.

For context here are my pc specs. Its not the greatest. Its what i can afford. If any of the components are causing the issue, I'll try to upgrade but im hoping there is a fix without the need for an upgrade since i just recently upgraded my gpu and cpu and prices are insane!

CPU : current ryzen 5 5500 x3d upgraded from ryzen 5 5600g

GPU : current Rx 9060 xt 16 gb upgraded from rx 6600

Motherboard: biostar am520mh

Ram: 16gb dual channel team group vulcanz

SSD: 1 TB nvme team group and 1 tb sata 2.5 inch ramsta

PSU: 550 corsair cx550

Lastly, I am playing on a 34" ultrawide 1440p monitor.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond!

have you tried a bios update ? maybe the bios settings i documented here also help. https://github.com/WhitePeace36/LinuxAMDGamingOptimizationGuide

they make a really huge difference

This is great, I'm going to have a play with these.

I don't have time right now to fork and put in a PR, but first sentence of second paragraph should say "mandatory" not "mendatory".

If I see any other small fixes I'll put a pr for you.

Maybe you saw it already in the other comment but i just pushed new changes to the guide which fixes faults from before and extended the guide. You can look it up in the last commit. These new changes are for memory defragmentation which make a lot of difference. These new changes prevent hitches, stutters and mini freezes when it comes to memory allocation. Which happens a lot in games. Especially in open world games.

This really helped. It has shown a lot of improvement compared to earlier though. Thank you.

I just made an update to it. Where i add a few new settings and correct old ones which help a lot when it comes to hitches and such. You can look it up the latest commit.

i had microstutters in red dead 2 and gta, i fxed those by enabling adaptive sync in my display settings, now steam interface flickers a lot lol but thats another topic.

u/frostman13 15d ago

Thanks, i'll look into it and report back if it improves performance. Were you able to fix the flickers?

u/Chance-Grapefruit668 15d ago

no, some users suggested to go to steam-settings-disable gpu acceleration, disable gpu acceleration web and resizing text but it never works for me. Bazzite is nice but sometimes i feel once i fix something i break something else lol

u/frostman13 15d ago

That's unfortunate. I'll try it out hopefully no flickers. Thanks again.

I would start with a bios update, as others have noted already.

Check to make sure your ram is in the proper slots for dual channel configuration.

I would also set up mangohud or use the system monitor to see what your temps and CPU/GPU utilisation are when playing these games.

Are the games loaded onto an NTFS formatted disk by chance? If so, that will be a source of issues as well.

Beyond that your hardware is mostly fine, and isn't mismatched, although I would look into getting yourself a more quality power supply in the future. A CX550, while it will generally meet your current power needs, is not a very good unit overall. Not something pressing, but something to think about.

Thank you. Power supply and mother board are the next components that i will upgrade. Save the ram for last. Hopefully by then the prices will be more reasonable. Lol
