I've tried the following versions of windows 10 on a 850 EVO SSD, 860 EVO M.2 SSD and A WD Black 5TB Performance HDD. 1703 1709 1803 Nothing helps, I've tried everything and then some. Plus there are tons of other people with this issue to a T, so it's obviously something wrong with the game. And i've tried every single setting in the game and from low to max absolutely nothing changes.

I think it's an issue with nvidia. Seems to happen to people with 1080. I have a 1070 with a 8700k 16 gig ram , ssd and the game never stutters at all .

Definitely not Nvidia, I've tried 3 different 1080 ti's and tried every driver between the current 411.63 and 388.13. Nothing changes. It's mostly only 1080's and 1080 ti's with this bug.

970 here - same bug. Could just be most forum posters own a 1080, and not that the problem is related to 1080s. But it's hard to say for sure. Given the numerous stuttering bugs that keep cropping up since Destiny 2 came out... I feel there is a deep-seated flaw in the game engine - and it is not anything to do with people's specific hardware. Of course there are always edge cases, many of which are due to user error or PC misconfiguration. But this type of stuttering is not really commonly seen outside of mouse polling issues. And it seems like beyond an "xbox-red-ring-of-death" percentage of people that are running into stutter issues.

Do other games work fine ?
