Whilst playing Escape From Tarkov, across two different systems (using a 9070XT in each) i will experience stutters whilst shooting, this is easier to see when using a weapon with a higher Rate of Fire.

There is also a video below of a friend that does not get the issue on Nvidia,
I'm unsure if its an AMD exclusive thing or this AMD 9070XT Card Exclusive.

Game: Escape From Tarkov,
Mods: Using Single Player Tarkov (no additional Mods)
Settings: Any settings, these don't change the outcome. but can share if needed

System information

  • GPU: 9070XT
  • Driver: Mesa 25.2.5
  • Wine version: GE-Proton10-25 (using GE-Proton10-22 reduces how bad the stutters are - but they are still there)
  • DXVK version: 10-25 was latest git from Nov-2nd (10-22 was latest git from Oct-27th)

Does running with DXVK_CONFIG="d3d11.cachedDynamicResources = a" change anything?

CCWXDEV 2025-11-05 github

Nope, adding that did not change anything, would have logs with that setting benefit you in any way?

No that is fine. Do you know if this stutter has always been the case or is it gone with old dxvk or Proton GE versions?

I'm only a recent Linux user. so apart from trying 10-22 i wouldn't know, I'll try an older one and let you know

Could you also give PROTON_NO_NTSYNC=1 a quick try with the game?

CCWXDEV 2025-11-05 github

GE-Proton10-25 with PROTON_NO_NTSYNC=1 made no difference
GE-Proton7-6 Is not that bad, Not windows performance or the Nvidia clip but its not stuttering like hell

Do you think you are able to find out with which version the stuttering like hell started with?

the stutters start showing going from GE-Proton8-32 to GE-Proton9-1
then the stutters become even worse (original graph) going from GE-Proton10-22 to GE-Proton10-23

I'm going to close this for now as I'm having to go back to windows, I'm planning to get another drive and dual boot around the time Tarkov releases on steam so hopefully will be back. And I'm hoping that they decide to support Linux on it.

Sorry for wasting your time.
I'll leave the logs and traces up.

Gonna leave it open if you don't mind. Plan on taking a look ingame later.

CCWXDEV 2025-11-06 github

Yep that's fine with me. Let me know if I can help you with anything, I'm in the Linux Gaming Discord if needed also
