Performance remains stable yet experiences occasional lag or jitter.
Performance remains stable yet experiences occasional lag or jitter.
My PC details are: CPU - i7 12700F, GPU - RTX 3060, RAM - 16 GB Trident Z (3600Mhz), XMP enabled on Gear 2, Mobo - B660 Aorus Master PSU, Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 650W, Monitor - Acer Nitro VG240Y 75Hz with Freesync. The problem is no FPS drop or frame rate drops. I checked using MSI Afterburner but sometimes the game feels jittery or micro-stutters, which happens randomly but often. It seems to occur in certain areas of the game; after switching to Alt+Tab and returning, it usually fixes. It’s not a consistent issue but it bothers me. I uninstalled GeForce Experience, disabled Game Bar on Windows, and tried nothing else. Games tested include NFS Unbound, BF1, World of Warships, Age of Empires 4. In Age of Empires 4, I noticed an odd behavior—ALT+TAB, turning off/on Shadowplay, or switching to fullscreen resolves it temporarily, though it recurs later. I’ve tried all possible settings and options online, but nothing helped. Temperatures are stable, clock speeds are consistent, everything seems normal. Now I’m wondering if the monitor might be the cause. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Always test the cable and preferably a different port before switching monitors.
It might be your screen, or it could involve any USB or Bluetooth gadget—checking the latter is straightforward. For the monitor, turn off all enhancement features, including smoothing, edge sharpening, and anti-blur, just to be sure.
Yeah, so I'd DDU and reinstall drivers from scratch, if that doesn't fix it try flashing a new vBIOS with nvFlash. Definitely try a new cable, ideally swapping between HDMI and DP. If you have a different monitor, check that. If you have a different computer, try that (you could try any old video source, but computer is a good idea). Update the firmware on the monitor. Update the bios on the mobo. Do DISM/SFC (in an admin CMD run " DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth " then " sfc /scannow ".
