Why are my frame times spiking even with stable 144 fps?

I’ve been trying to get a stable 144 FPS in the new patch, but my frame times are all over the place even though my average looks fine. It feels like stuttering, but my monitoring tools don’t show any obvious CPU or GPU bottleneck.

I had a similar issue after a patch. The numbers were fine but the game felt jumpy during action moments.

One thing I tried was turning off VSync and stopping any recording or overlay tools while I played. The frame times looked steadier after that.

Could it be not the hardware but how the patch handles frame pacing on your display?

I did a quick test with a clean boot and no background apps and the stuttering eased a bit after a while.
