How to fix micro-stuttering in games?

[Maq___]

Hi to all,

I am experiencing micro-stuttering in games even at more than 60 FPS !

This happens especially when the FPS drop for 2-3!

My specs are: i7-6700 HQ @ 2.60 GHz,up to 3.50 GHz (I always use the Turbo Boost while gaming!)

16 GB DDR4 RAM

Nvidia GTX 960 M 4 GB GDDR5


And the games I play are ArmA3,GTA V and NBA 2K18 !

Please help me to resolve that issue!

Thanks to all in advance!

Best regards!

Do you have vysnc on? Does it make a difference on or off?

Yes,I have Vsync on,because without it I get tearing!

I face the the micro-stuttering and with Vsync off,with over 60 FPS!

So it happens all the time? In every game? Was there any settings you messed with? You mentioned turbo and it doesn't make sense because you don't use it, it does it by itself. Any other software running that can change settings?

Well it doesn't happen all of the time,it happens when the FPS drop from 60 to for an example 57!And it happens mostly in ArmA 3!From software I am currently using EVGA Precision XOC and I have OC my GPU with it!I installed it yesterday,I used the MSI Afterburner previously but it was making some problems so I switched to EVGA Precision,it works perfectly!

In generally everytime in every game I play if the FPS go under 60 FPS,the game microstutters!No matter if the FPS are even 57-58!

As I have watched videos on YouTube,the 50 FPS in the videos are like mine 60 FPS!

Youtube makes things smooth so you can't go by that. With vsync on, when fps goes lower, you will likely stutter. There is nothing to stop that because of how vysnc works. Some games will have triple buffering to help but otherwise the only option is to lower settings to keep fps up.

But why do I have stuttering and with vsync turned off?

And about ArmA 3,it stutters and with the lowest settings!

Are you using the driver from nvidia or the laptop manufacturer?

I've tried the both but it gave the same result!

What's the laptop model? Try setting power settings set to high performance.

Lots of people are having stuttering issues with the y700. There are a couple different reasons and solutions. They can be found throughout the lenovo forum. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Gaming-Laptops/Ideapad-Y700-15ISK-Stall-stutter-when-playing-games/m-p/3672062#M6530
