How do I diagnose and solve in-game microstuttering? I feel like it might be tied to my DPC latency spiking from 10 to 800 microseconds, but I have no idea how to fix that DPC latency issue or if it's even associated with my in-game microstuttering (freezes for about 0.1 seconds then unfreezes). Gaming is incredibly annoying with these microstutters and I have no idea how to fix them, or how to diagnose the cause, or diagnose the cause of my DPC latency spikes.
 
Solution
There is a great tool called DPC latency checker that will analyse your system and give you hints on to what the problem could be, most of the times some driver that does not behave as it should be.

Microstutter is very common in games and is a result of console games not being written for the windows OS.
