What is this? My ping was 17 in 2 matches yet it felt like I was stuttering around sometimes. Especially noticeable when moving from side to side and trying to aim, but not all the time. It messed me up in several one on one encounters. At one point at the end of my 2nd match, my ping went from 16 to 28 really quickly following a rubberbanding moment.

Specs:

GTX 750ti
AMD FX-4300 quad core @ 3.8ghz
8GB DDR3
1920 x 1080p
Win 7 x64

I've never had CSGO issues before.... what should I try? I already tried restarting my PC and modem/router.

Should I exit out of GeForce Experience? I already made sure I have the most recent drivers.

What's strange is there is an Optional NVIDIA driver in the WINDOWS updates... why? It's called NVIDIA - Display - 12/29/2016 12:00:00 AM - 21.21.13.7653. I have no idea what this is... it's showing up in optional updates in Windows under the Important ones.

When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
