Hi all, I am experiencing screen stuttering issues whilst gaming on multiple titles. MW2, Total War: Vermintite, Halo Infinite, Battlefield 1 and Overwatch 2 for example.
Equipment:
- MSI Tomawak B660 motherboard
- intel 12700k chip
- Monitor - LG Ultragear 144Hz 1080p
- Kingston 16GB of DDR4 Ram 3600 MHz.
- nvme samsung 980 pro ssd.
Things I have tried:
- The issue is occuring in DX9, DX11 and DX12 titles
- Enabling ReBar
- V-sync off and on.
- Using latest drivers from Intel.
- Lowering graphics settings.
I have high frame rates, especially on low graphical settings, but then suddenly there is a drop in frames and produces screen tearing and stuttering.
Can anyone think of any other solutions to eliminate or mitigate stuttering?

Hi @Jordan6
I appreciate the information and details. In this case, I want you to please try a couple of things based on the information and reports provided:
- Update your BIOS, in case you need help with this step, please contact the motherboard manufacturer for a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
- If the previous step did not improve the performance please uninstall the previous integrated graphics drivers.

Hello @Jordan6
Thank you for your post and information. In order to continue I want to know a couple of things:
- Is this the first graphics card you installed on this computer?
- What launcher are you using?
- Have you checked if the games are on their latest version?
- Are you using any adapters or just a straight cable to the monitor?
Best regards,

Hi Carlos,
- Yes this is the first graphics card I've installed. I was previously using integrated graphics with the intel chip.
- By launcher do you refer to the OS? I'm using Windows 11. If it's the game launcher, I'm using Steam and Battle.net.
- The games are on the latest version.
- I'm using a DP cable directly from the graphics card to the monitor.
Thanks for your support and kind regards,
Jordan

Hi Carlos,
I don't feel comfortable updating the BIOS, I dont particularly like the risks involved in the process. But I have uninstalled the integrated graphics and the stuttering has disappeared for now!
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Jordan

Sorry to interrupt, but Microsoft just fixed a bug that caused stuttering:

It may be related to your issue.
