I enjoy playing For Honor, but every time I launch the game in either borderless window mode or full-screen, I experience stuttering and freezing issues. I believe my PCI clip is malfunctioning, causing the GPU to intermittently drop and recover.

Hello,

I recommend attempting to update your graphics drivers initially.

It’s unlikely that intermittent issues are caused by a failing card; this would lead to driver resets or Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors.

If the problem persists, it might be a concern with your graphics card – could you tell me its age and model? This information will assist us in troubleshooting.

Thank you,

It’s an MSI Armor factory overclock RX 580 with 4GB of VRAM. I performed a fresh driver installation using the latest versions.
