Gotcha, I think. Thanks though.
Why shaders off? Just curious...

Shader is OFF because UWP Games in DX12 have it's own Shader cache (no double is better IMO)

Apparently, this driver does not like games based on the "unity" ex: subnautica.
It hangs with a black screen or ejects it to the desktop, with an error.
I have returned to version 18.4.1 and everything normal.

It's not related to SSD/HDD* (more like a Console 60FPS relation to me) -> You must have 60FPS V/noV any other Value give this hitch.... try
Horizon 3 is free from this bug.
* I have Samie 500GB SSD with Rapid Mode ~3GB/s load
Interesting thanks for the confirmation. I do recall some reflections breaking if you go beyond 60 fps.
But you have to use vsync though. Sheesh...
Update:
Well ain't that something. I just played Forza 7 at 60FPS w/Vsync and Monza is smooth. Even in the main menu with the driver fidgeting about. I noticed a lot of sun shafts while racing Monza in certain parts as well as beige color leaves and other effects. Can't say I noticed before but it's real noticeable now.
