Games I tested at 40Hz that show this stutter:
- Ion Fury (native)
- Elder Scrolls Online
- Duke 3D the cursed Randy version ;)
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Left4Dead 2 (native)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (native)
- World of Warcraft (ran great before updating, now stutters occasionally)

Games that stutter only every now and then but are smooth usually:
- Monster Hunter World

Games not showing the stutter:
- Alice Madness Returns
- Battlefield Bad Company 2
- Valheim (native Vulkan)

(stutter as in, dropping to 38fps from 40)

** using Manual GPU Clock Control "fixes" the stutter in listed games **

I'll update as testing continues

Stable branch

Damn, was this reported during the beta? I'm guessing those on beta saw this?

Quoting: BlackBloodRumDamn, was this reported during the beta? I'm guessing those on beta saw this?

Yes, i reported it over a month ago.

I noticed it in Trackmania 2020 (Ubisoft Connect / nonsteam)
I play with 60fps (16,6ms) and noticed frame drops to 33,3ms every couple seconds. Setting a static clock fixed the issue.
But valve doesn't seem to care. If just 2-5 people reporting this (many will not even notice this i can imagine) But it bothers me so much, I see every damn dropped frame.

I should also clarify..
When I set the GPU clock to my Trackmania profile, it doesn't save when I start the game again (probably because I start the launcher first? idk).

So I would have to manually set the clock everytime I start the game. It's doable of course, but really unnecessary.

Valve confirmed to me they are looking into it.
