Alright, quick follow-up since this thread got a bit deep — I followed the advice on disabling the PSO cache / enabling full shader precompilation in the driver settings, and honestly the stutter is basically gone. Was having constant 16ms hitches in any scene with new particle effects, but after clearing the cache and letting it rebuild once at launch, frametimes are buttery now. Thanks guys, especially the person who explained the difference between the legacy shader pipeline and the new caching layer — went from dropouts to 144fps locked. Locked in.

Great topic for turn #2 — I’ll build on the fundamentals and dig into the implementation details that actually matter for competitive play. The key thing people miss is that G-Sync, FreeSync, and HDMI 2.1 VRR aren’t really competing technologies; FreeSync

Here is the mechanical breakdown: The architecture prioritizes deterministic state reconciliation and thread safety over unconstrained peak throughput.
