stuttering while in game and not in game

[rawritsforest212]

so i have a 970 and a 8350 with a msi motherboard and using a tv screen since my monitor is broken. I just updated my nvidia drivers and restarted my pc and now my pc stutters while i am in a game and while i am watching a youtube video or typing this. Before i updated my drivers my pc never stuttered and sorry if non of this makes sense im not very good at typing.

and also my buddy been telling me to do things to try and fix it like redownloading older drivers

Common issue with windows update and new nvidia drivers that include stuff for the new RTX cards.

Go to nvidia, look up your card drivers, but choose a set that's 2x older, download and save the file, don't choose 'Run'. When installing, use 'Custom' install option. On next screen is a option for 'Clean' install, use it. This will erase any current nvidia drivers and links in registry only allowing the new set to install.

Should get rid of the stutters. If it does, then do not install the newest set again, turn off any nvidia auto-update, and wait till nvidia releases a next version which should be fixed. If that creates stutters, then go back to the set of saved drivers you downloaded and repeat the above.

The core drivers don't change, most of the new release stuff is upcoming game optimizations and gpu bios fixes for new cards, so latest drivers are not always necessary.

Happens to me every three or four Nividia Driver updates, very frustrating. Uninstall the updated drivers and install the last version. What driver have you installed ? 411.70 or 416.34 ? If one messed up install the other, these are the last two drivers released by Nvidia.

EDIT: And then just read the answer above Sorry mate, best solution by Karadjgne

yea i did that Karadjgne but it didnt work i guess i have to wait till nvidia has a new driver update

Have you installed any new software between when you last noticed it without the stutter and now ? It is very frustrating !!!

Have you tried a system restore to a point just before this issue occurred ?

 

[rawritsforest212]

only thing i installed was black ops 4 and that made me update my drivers.

 

[jay.wooster]

You could try a system restore to prior to Black Ops 4 being installed and try and override the Graphics driver update this time.....

uh we did that and it still stutter so i may just wait till a new update for the drivers or i may switch GPU's and see if it isnt that
