Hello fellow gamers,

I recently upgraded my GPU to a 7800xt nitro+, but in high FPS situations, like overwatch 2, the card stutters sometimes. Like going from the desired 160fps down to like 80 for a second. In general, the FPS are not stable. Before a match it hovers in the 100s regions. That can't be right?

I tried setting everything very uncompetitively on ultra or max just for giggles and because I thought I could. 3440x1440p. Is this the dreaded "AMD driver issue"?

RAM speed does affect 1% lows, but they'll just be lower overall. It won't lead to actual stutter. Look at RAM speed benchmarks: Sure, between shit RAM and good RAM you might have 5-30 fps difference in 1% lows, but OP is dropping 80 fps randomly and has high performance otherwise. With bad RAM you would have worse 1% lows constantly.
