Random stutters while gaming

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Everytime I play a game that I'm 95%sure my laptop can run on the highest graphics I get these stutters that I can see without even needing an fps counter.
Gpu:Gtx 1050ti
Cpu: Intel core i7-7700hq
8 gigs of ram
I've ran multiple scans on multiple anti virus and had nothing detected. I've downloaded 2 different driver boosters and updated all my drivers. I've changed nvidia settings to the best performance and still get the stutter. It's only while gaming too it doesn't happen any other time. Also tried installing games on different hard drives and still stutters

Uhh, driver booster?

Uninstall those.

what games are you running? the 1050ti isn't the strongest card, so if you're trying to run recent and demanding games, you're going to get problems

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

A game in particular is depth. I have some bad fps drops playing this.

Bryan_83 :

Yeah, definitely get rid of whatever driver booster thing you have, that's likely to make the problem worse.

If possible, could you test on a different game?

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Well driver booster was after the stuttering happening but I'll uninstall it anyways. I also have stuttering in gta 5 but that could be understandable and also call of duty 4 which I think I should be able to run fine

Bryan_83 :

If you set everything down a notch in settings (for example, if you run on all high, set to medium) do you still get stuttering?

Also, you may want to monitor your temps with Speccy or HWmonitor

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Yes I loweredd my settings and stuttering still happened. But when I checked task manager performance tab my co usage spiked. If it would be at like 20 it would go to sixty of it were 60 it would go to 100 when the stuttering happens. Even on lower graphics

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

Yeah, look into temps, you might be overheating

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Can overheating only be detected by these programs or would I feel it overheating

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

Bryan_83 :

You might feel it, but you're better off using Speccy or HWmonitor while you play.

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

And if it is an overheating problem what would be the solution?

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

Bryan_83 :

This is a laptop, and this is one of the drawbacks to gaming laptops - heat.

To reduce it, clean out your vents and fans with compressed air, decrease the temperature in the room, and try to increase airflow to your components

This website would've been so useful in the past

Bryan_83 :

Haha, sorry we couldn't be there for you earlier.

In the mean time, look up Laptop fan docks, like this, but less dorky if you can: https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Notebook-Cool-Pad-Fans/dp/B001B077PO

Another thing you can try is when you're gaming, plug your laptop in and remove the battery.

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

It has an internal battery so the battery thing might be a bit tedious.

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

Bryan_83 :

hmm, yeah, don't do that then. A fan dock might be your only choice, but make sure heat is actually the issue

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Can't really check at the moment but one thing that I can say is that I didn't always have the stutter issue so can it still be an overheating problem even though I didn't always have it

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

Another thing you can try is installing Display Driver Uninstaller. Use it to get rid of all your graphics drivers, then only install the latest. That'll ensure you have no conflicting drivers causing the stutter

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Can not having the latest Windows 10 version effect anything?

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

Bryan_83 :

updating it certainly shouldn't hurt

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

I went into settings and went to check for updates and it says it's up to date but when I launch a software I use it says I don't have the latest version

kaptainkuftic · Jun 27, 2017

What software?

Also, when you open up the update history, what version is listed? latest update for windows is 1703, and the update before that was 1607, and before that was 1511

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

Can't check right now but the software is something for gta servers. I'll get back to you when I can check

James Mason · Jun 27, 2017

8gbs of ram for GTAV may not be enough, it's the minimum you need for it, not the recommended.

Bryan_83 · Jun 27, 2017

It actually is the recommended
