The only stuttering I get is when I'm in combat zones for a long time. Then it seems to be related to sound? A hop in and out fixes it.
That's how bugs work...Not all gets them. This bug is however fairly common if you do searches on them. The bad part is, FDev seems to have decided to stop trying to fix it since the 2.2.01 update. When they removed it from the "known issues" list, referring to something limited like ship launched fighters.
I've seen plenty of players with NVIDIA cards having the same issues. Including owners of GTX 1060's and 1070's. It's quite possible that Frontier is dismissing the current issues based on the same assumption. Which is one of the reasons I regularly come back to remind. Eventually I'll do like many others with persistent bugs in Elite, simply stop playing the game.Yes I do know how bugs 'work' (or don't work surely?) thanks. See what I wrote was actually supporting your point in that it's very unlikely to be a simple performance issue considering that I don't have any such problems with much inferior hardware.
I woudn't be shocked if it was driver related though, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that AMD-specific issues have manifested themselves.
*Spend entire update trying to fix issue only a small percentage of players are having*
-VS-
*Balance ship defense system to make it less or more OP in the face of unforeseen (And poorly implemented) Engineer modifications*
I'll take option 2, please.
Except they didn't fix the stuff in option 2.
So this beta was a waste.

Latest news from QA is that they are still working on it, and they have been able to reproduce the problem. (A good sign, reproducing a bug is a very important part of solving it). No eta for a fix at the moment.

Fair enough. You are literally the only player I have ever seen mention this stuttering issue (bear in mind that I don't hang out on the bugs forum, which is probably why) which is why I assumed it was a) fairly rare and b) probably AMD specific.
I don't believe they are dismissing the issue based on the following post:
New update, yay! \o/
Fixed stuttering near stations and other populated things? Nope...
The slide show type stuttering has reached new levels. Making it nearly impossible to hit the mail slot in a fast ship.
But nice to see they've spent a month adjusting how the shield boosters work. That'll help make the game more fun!
