Why does my mouse stuttering under a load?
Why does my mouse stuttering under a load?
It might stem from a problem with the driver or software. AMD components are often associated with compatibility issues, especially when paired with older hardware and newer cards. The RX 550 is quite advanced compared to the rest of the setup. Consider testing DDU first, then using the standard VGA driver that Windows provides to determine if the issue persists.
That's why I suggested it's possible, but didn't claim it was the main problem. My guess is on drivers since I've noticed similar issues before. Older AMD cards can lead to driver conflicts—mouse lag and system freezes every few seconds when drivers are installed. It looks like a mouse issue, but checking Task Manager reveals the whole system is affected. To resolve it, you'd need to remove the graphics card drivers and disable them in Device Manager; otherwise, auto-updates will cause the problem again. For a permanent fix, switch to a different card, preferably non-AMD, to avoid recurring issues.
You're asking about the best approach when dealing with a low-profile 750 Ti system. It seems you're looking into specific steps to resolve performance issues without using an expensive card. You mentioned borrowing another machine and are considering selling your current RX550 4GB to upgrade to a GT1030 2GB, which could improve performance. Before making any decisions, you want to try fixing the problem yourself first. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Richard!
The issue mainly affects AMD RX 550 and RX 560 GPUs along with their mobile versions. It stems from driver problems and unsupported Windows 10 updates after the manufacturer stopped providing patches. A recent Windows 10 update led to a stuttering problem that remains unresolved. To run it, you must disable the graphics drivers via Device Manager, remove them using DDU, and then re-enable them once the system restarts. After updating to the official AMD drivers, it should function normally. Using a different card is another option, though budget models may still face similar challenges.
I wanted to share my current situation for the final time. I didn’t realize there would be such an incompatibility issue as you described. The solutions you provided didn’t fix the problem, so we ended up swapping the 750TI and RX550 graphics cards. The RX550 now works perfectly in a newer setup (LGA1200), while my 750TI remains with me.
