Set this to 10GB (or 100GB if you have ample SSD space). This prevents the GPU from constantly recompiling shaders, which is the leading cause of stutter in modern UE5 titles. This prevents the GPU from constantly recompiling shaders,
Directly managing how your graphics card handles data can stabilize "1% lows" and prevent stutters.
In the NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel, select "Prefer Maximum Performance" to keep your clock speeds high.
Set your power plan to "Ultimate Performance" or "High Performance" in the Control Panel to prevent the CPU from throttling during heavy loads. 🎮 GPU Control Panel Tweaks
