Stuttering in Games

[Marzipas]

So not too long ago I got a new laptop mainly for gaming as I am away from my home PC for a while. However, in most games I try to play I seem to be getting strange stuttering, even though the laptop can handle it. While running an FPS counter, the FPS will stay at a consistent 60 (sometimes over 60, I've already tried capping games at 60 to see if that was causing the stutter) yet a lot of the times things feel stuttery. I noticed it first in Doom 3, and then I saw it was happening on MGSV, and it even happens in simple-to-run games like Terraria. However, on Battlefront 2 for some reason, I don't seem to notice the stuttering.

I've already tried reinstalling my GPU drivers, but this did not work.

These are my specs: http/i.imgur.com/teouq4N.png

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the NVIDIA driver.
- Do the same in Programs and Features, uninstall anything related to NVIDIA graphics.
- Next is to download and install the latest driver from NVIDIA support site.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/download/index.aspx
- Once installed reboot your laptop for all the changes to take effect.
- And lastly set NVIDIA as the default graphics card.

OK, I'll give that a try, when I uninstalled my drivers I didn't do it from the device manager tab, I'll let you know if it does anything.

OK after doing all this I can confirm that I am still getting stuttering in games.

Also just tried booting windows in diagnostic mode in case it was any startup programs causing it, but still got the stutter.

Have now just tried using EVGA Precision to force my GPU to run at full clock in case of underclocking and the stutter was still present.
