Intermittent microstutters

I recently returned to the game (took a break in February of this year) and noticed that I’m experiencing micro stutters, either randomly when running around, or when moving into a new area. One area that I can consistently replicate it in is to fly from the portal point right outside SFO to the raid entrance; the game will stutter at the top ledge right outside the cave. My fps will drop from 112 to 80 for 1-2 seconds.

My PC specs are:

  • Windows 10
  • Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
  • 32 GB RAM

Things I’ve tried:

  • Resetting my WTF, Cache, and Interface folders
  • Updating drivers, Windows updates, checking for disk errors etc
  • Turning off hardware acceleration in Discord and battle.net client
  • Using Dx11 Legacy, Dx11, or Dx12
  • Turning view distance all the way down to 1 improves it somewhat, but stutter still occurs if I fly right up to the raid entrance, for example.

Since this wasn’t an issue back in February, I’m wondering whether this is a problem with WoW or my PC.
