gears of war 4 stuttering

[James_521]

Hi hope someone can help!

I recently purchased gears of war 4 - for my alienware 15 laptop I installed it and started the game up cut scenes look and work great but when coming to the game play its stutters, its off colour, hardly see a thing! even on the lowest graphic settings it stutters so cannot for the life of me understand why, It runs games like resident evil seven on the highest graphics absolutely perfect smooth as anything!

My specs are

i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
16 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB GDDR5)
- 1 TB HDD, 7200 rpm
- 256 GB SSD

I assumed this would be powerful enough to run it, Am I wrong?

Thanks

I purchased an Alienware 13 in December with near identical hardware aside from a 1 TB M.2. I opted for the 2560 x 1440 OLED screen and it runs the game fine at ultra settings so I don't think hardware is the issue.

I just rebuilt my desktop and was having a stuttering issue with my fps staying 120+ which was weird. I found ASUS AI Suite 3's power management to be the culprit so had to change it from optimized to standard. I also set Windows power management to performance. I don't think this would be your issue as my laptop is set to balanced, but you can try performance to see what happens.

Another thought is I've always turned off game DVR in the Xbox app settings. I've read this can cause performance issues playing Windows 10 games. Hope you can get your issue resolved.
