I recently upgraded my computer, and I've been experiencing stuttering in games that use Unreal Engine 4 whenever there's a new event happening in the game. It's strange because other games seem to run perfectly fine. I've tried a few titles like Cyberpunk, Halo Infinite, Doom Eternal, and Red Dead Redemption 2, and they run smoothly. I've followed a lot of troubleshooting tips online—adjusted settings in my BIOS, optimized Windows performance, and ensured that features like ReBar are enabled. My setup includes a Sapphire Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB, an AMD Ryzen 7 5700x processor, and 16GB of HyperX DDR4-2666 RAM. I'm wondering why only Unreal Engine 4 games are causing these issues while others are unaffected. Is my PCIe version or RAM speed a factor here?

Is your RAM setup 2x8GB or 1x16GB? That could also affect performance. Dual-channel RAM typically offers better performance than a single stick.
Have you checked if your VRAM is enough? The 9060 XT with PCIe 3.0 could struggle under certain conditions. Other games might handle resource management better, which is why you’re not seeing stuttering there.
True, but I’m not hitting any memory limits according to Afterburner, so it feels odd that only these specific games are causing issues.
It sounds like you might be experiencing asset loading stutters, which is actually common in Unreal Engine games. Some people just deal with it as that engine has certain quirks that can make it less stable in terms of performance.
Yeah, that makes sense, but it’s frustrating since I’ve seen other players with better or worse setups not having this issue.
I have 2x8GB, so it shouldn’t be a dual-channel issue.
