What can I do to stop my frequent stuttering?
What can I do to stop my frequent stuttering?
Hello, over the past year I've experienced a persistent stuttering problem. In nearly every 3D game I've played, I encounter brief 2-3 second interruptions that significantly reduce the frame rate. This behavior mainly occurs in 3D titles, not in 2D or pixelated games. It seems the problem might relate to my memory usage, which stays at 80% or higher regardless of the situation, and my CPU reaches close to 100% during gameplay.
My system details are:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 TI with Max-Q Design
Intel Core i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40 GHz
7.82 GB RAM
1920 x 1080 60 Hz display
These specifications come from GeForce Experience. I also have some Intel built-in graphics. I've attempted to switch the preferred processor from integrated graphics to the NVIDIA version, but it hasn't resolved the issue. I've also uninstalled all my old drivers via Device Manager and installed the latest NVIDIA driver, yet the problem persists. If you need further details, feel free to let me know.
You require a minimum of 8 GB RAM just to operate Windows. This does not account for any active games. If the game's requirements match your system, ensure you have at least 16 GB available. Always deduct at least 8 GB for Windows functionality.
Wow, I wasn't aware of that. Looking at my PC details in settings, I see 8 GB total, though only 7.82 GB is actually usable. If you're using a laptop, here are some options to consider for upgrading your RAM.
I didn't encounter this problem with my new laptop, which makes me uncertain whether additional RAM is necessary. The stuttering seems to occur roughly ten minutes after starting any game impacted by it.
