Hello everyone,
I’m currently looking for help optimizing Ultra Street Fighter IV using Special K. I’m still pretty new to the tool, and while it has helped improve performance overall, I’m still experiencing frequent frame drops (down to 20–30 FPS) and severe frame stuttering — which is my biggest issue right now.
My specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RTX 4090
RAM: 32 GB
I’m assuming some of the issues might be due to the newer hardware, but there has to be a way to fix or mitigate this. Since USF4 heavily relies on 1-frame links (timing inputs within a 16.66 ms window), maintaining low input latency is absolutely crucial.
Unfortunately, most of the community is struggling with the frame stutter problem lately, which makes consistent timing really hard.
Ideally, I’d love to find a setup that achieves a balance between no frame stuttering, minimal frame drops, and ultra-low input latency.
Any advice or configuration suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And if anyone here also plays USF4 and wants to experiment or share their best Special K setup, that would be a huge help.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
