Hey All
Quick report time
So i have been wrapping my head around what could have possibly changed to make this problem occur recently and nothing seems to really fix the issue for me until i thought i wonder what happens when i change resize-able BAR on an RTX 3070 i heard it can improve performance
and holy crap the problems are completely gone.
So i went to my ASUS Bios, clicked resizeable bar on the top and set the option to ON and suddenly all problems are fixed at all settings, even the default “7” setting.
I also decided to with /run SET GxAllowCachelessShaderMode “0” set to “1” heres my results
Test 1
Resizeable bar OFF
/run SET GxAllowCachelessShaderMode “0”
Stutters occur in Haven when logging in any character and loading in players and textures
Test 2
Resizeable BAR ON
/run SET GxAllowCachelessShaderMode “0”
All stutter is gone in haven, tested 3 characters and no stutters occur at all
Test 3
Resizeable BAR ON
/run SET GxAllowCachelessShaderMode “1”
Their is a slight stutter with GxAllowCacheless on when entering haven but its only a single stutter for less than a millisecond then everythings smooth as butter
The only conclusion i can come to is that WoW has decided to Offload textures to VRAM rather than the SSD/Hard drive as it was doing in the past, or force VRAM utilization and having resizeable BAR improves the way games use VRAM and WoW must be utilizing this feature under the hood.
I see no other reason why enabling the feature fixed the problems, and it sucks for RTX 20 series or lesser were resizeable bar may not even work
