Game "Stuttering" Every Few Seconds
4.5
The game runs at 60 FPS but "hitches" or freezes for a split second every few seconds.
Symptoms
- Micro-stutter
- Hitching
- Unstable frame time
Possible Causes
- Background wallpaper slideshow
- Polling rate too high
- Shader compilation
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Lower Mouse Polling Rate
Set your mouse to 500Hz instead of 1000Hz or 4000Hz.
2
Disable Wallpaper Slideshow
Windows changing the wallpaper can cause a system-wide stutter.
3
Enable "Game Mode"
Tells Windows to prioritize the game process above all else.
When to See a Technician
High-end mice with 8000Hz polling can actually overwhelm the CPU, causing stutters in games.
