Stuttering Issue on all Games on my Laptop
Stuttering Issue on all Games on my Laptop
I experienced stuttering issues with games on my ASUS ROG Strix GL504GS laptop purchased in December 2018. Initially, the problem was resolved by updating drivers and Windows (version 1803), but it returned periodically. The stuttering affects nearly all games except Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO). I’ve tried resetting Windows, fresh installations, uninstalling graphics drivers with DDU, utilizing ThrottleStop to manage fan speeds, and contacting ASUS support, but the issue persists. My system includes an Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a Microsoft Windows 10 Pro operating system. Despite my efforts, including troubleshooting steps like driver updates, OS resets, and hardware adjustments, games such as Rainbow Six Siege consistently exhibit stuttering behavior, as shown in the attached screenshot. The motherboard replacement suggested by ASUS did not resolve the problem.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
To improve laptop performance and reduce overheating, I adjusted several settings. Specifically, I undervolted my CPU by -200mV and lowered the clock speed to 3.1 GHz. This significantly reduced maximum temperatures from consistently exceeding 90°C to a peak of 74°C, preventing throttling. I utilized a “throttlestop” technique (researching guides for optimal settings) which further stabilized performance. My current CPU configuration includes an i7-8750H with undervolting and clock speed adjustments providing the best balance between cooling and responsiveness.
