On the other hand, Nvidia users with Geforce GTX 980 and the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti are hit by stutters and frozen screens. A Reddit user wrote that, “I built a new PC last year, and I’ve been brutalized by the 5700XT drivers ever since, or so I thought. Windows added a “game mode” apparently, on by default, in some update, and after I disabled it tonight, the difference is night and day. The CRAZY intermittent stutters are TOTALLY gone in my testing. I don’t know if this is an established fix that many have tried, but I figured I’d put it out there for anyone who doesn’t know yet,” Presently, it is being assumed that Windows 10 updates that may have broken the feature.
