Is there any way to fix stuttering in certain games on Acer nitro 5

Andrew1265 · May 2020

I have an Acer nitro 5 with an i5 8300h and GTX 1050 with 4gb of DDR4. While playing GTA V I get 60 fps but it stutters every 15 seconds or less. In call of duty modern warfare (mostly warzone that has a problem) it will run at 60 fps then drop to 5-15 for 5 or so seconds then back to 60 and repeat

8 GB of RAM is barely sufficient since windows itself pulls over 3-4 for itself. Bump it up to 16.

Do clean uninstall and install your gpu Driver(nvidia software)

Download DDU(display driver uninstaller)and download latest nvidia software for Gtx1050 from nvidia driver site

Now boot in safe mode then run ddu program select GPU→clean and restart
After restart you will boot in normal mode now, first turn off your internet connection and go to (settings then turn off real time protection if you installed any 3rd party antivirus then disable it )

Now run and install nvidia software
(Restart your laptop after installation)

@GAMING6698 how do I boot in safe mode?
I only have 1 option for boot mode and that's UEFI

@Andrew1265

Press Windows logo key + I on your keyboard to open Settings. If that doesn't work, select the Start button, then select Settings .
Select Update & Security > Recovery .
Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Press F4 or F5 to boot in safe mode

@GAMING6698 I'm now having a problem which is after I restarted in safe mode I need to enter my pin. I am 100% sure I put it in right and it says welcome after I hit enter but then it says Incorrect password

@Andrew1265
4yrs ago this happen with me also.
its your Microsoft password, enter Microsoft password and press enter then follow my steps

Andrew1265 · May 2020

@GAMING6698 I followed all those steps and GTA is still stuttering, maybe even a bit more than before

@Andrew1265 😱😱
open nitrosense app(don't close nitrosense keep it running in background)then play your game for atleast 5min after 5mins when your experience fps drop close your game then post nitrosense screenshot here

Andrew1265 · May 2020

That is after playing GTA V for about 8 mins

Meant to @GAMING6698 you in previous comment

@Andrew1265 😱😱
Click on window icon search CMD and open it as administrator then copy and paste this Command

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

After completing above command type this command

sfc /scannow

Now, restart your laptop when both commands completed successfully

@GAMING6698 again did as you said and GTA still stutters not as long stutters but just as often. I've played 800hrs of GTA at less than 30 fps so I got a new laptop and GTA still runs like *****, what's a guy gotta do to play GTA normally hf

GAMING6698 · May 2020

@Andrew1265
1)play game then after 1min minimize your game then open task manager→click on performance tab then post screenshot
2)run userbenchmark and post result here

Not sure if you wanted to see more of the userbenchmark or not

Andrew1265 · May 2020

@GAMING6698 I also just realized in the OP I said 4gb of DDR4 it's actually 8 as you can see in the screenshot above

GAMING6698 · May 2020

@Andrew1265
Your system is working is normal.looks like problem in game itself reinstall your game

Andrew1265 · May 2020

@GAMING669 reinstalled the game still stutters after 5 mins of playing. Thanks for your help but it seems pretty obvious you have no clue how to fix this, im ***** done with GTA

I took the 4gb stick out of my old laptop and put it into my new one. GTA no longer stutters just with 12gb,definitly will be upgrading to 16 soon, thank you

One more suggestion, based on your taskmanager screenshot above, looks like your have only drive - C. And mostly likely this is not an SSD. Put in an SSD, even like 120GB and install windows to it. If you can get a bigger SSD, split it into 80 GB for windows and rest for games. This will push games performance up significantly.
