Destiny 2 FPS drops and micro stutter, how do I smooth it out?

Question

Destiny 2 has these tiny FPS drops that make aiming feel off. It is not unplayable, but in PvP it feels like the game skips at the worst possible time. My average FPS is fine. It is the micro stutter that annoys me. Any settings that actually help?

Cache Goblin · Accepted Answer

Micro stutter is usually frame pacing, shader cache, or background apps. Try this: 1. Cap FPS slightly below your refresh rate. 2. Disable V-Sync in-game if using G-Sync/FreeSync. 3. Clear shader cache after driver updates. 4. Keep Destiny 2 on SSD. 5. Disable overlays and browser hardware acceleration while testing. 6. Lower shadows and depth of field. 7. Check that Windows Game Bar recording is not running.
