And two years later, he’s still not done talking about the “strange” phenomenon of video stuttering.
(it’s not just for energy drinks!)
“If you are playing a game where the FPS is <60 (Frames Per Second), and you start to see video stuttering, it can also happen in older games. If your frames per second (FPS) is below 60, then the number of times your screen updates per second can cause you to perceive lag. The most common example is using a controller with analog sticks." – Steve Dengler's post on Reddit.
One such post was titled “Stutter & Lag: What Does It Mean?”* [WARNING: there are some graphic descriptions of how to test this.]* by user “HandyDudeXXX.” HandyDudeXXX says he bought a new gaming rig with Intel Core i7-3770K and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics card. His graphics card worked fine until he tried Battlefield 3…when it started to stutter and lag during gameplay. He then tried other games and noticed that they all had similar problems. HandyDudeXXX saw people online claiming that certain graphics cards were causing issues for other gamers, so he decided to do a little digging….discovering something called GameWorks (by NVIDIA).” GameWorks” refers to a set of technologies designed by NVIDIA that enhances many PC games with advanced artificial intelligence, physics simulation technology, tessellation technology and more.” GameWorks” also contains libraries for developers so they can add these new effects into their games….like Nvidia’s Hairworks library which adds realistic hair simulation capabilities or TressFX hair simulation technology which adds practical hair simulation capabilities into Crysis 3.” Hairworks” uses dynamic vertex displacement with over one trillion hairs visible at
YES, today!

The answer is yes, and here’s why: the most common fix for video stuttering is to pay attention to your PC’s GPU. New graphics cards can help solve this problem in most games (but not all).
Gameplay will be smooth and fast when the frame rate is 50-60 FPS.
The frame rate is the number of frames per second. It’s displayed in the bottom right corner of your screen, where it says “FPS.”
The bar graph shows how much time has passed since one frame was drawn and another displayed on the screen. It looks like this:
If there are lots of bars (i.e., if your graphics card is working hard), then it means that things are moving quickly—you’re playing at 60 FPS or higher!
You can choose not to get a new graphics card now but decide to upgrade if you want 60 FPS gaming in the future.
If you want to play games at 60 FPS, you should upgrade your graphics card.
It may seem like a lot of money and effort to spend on something that’s not even necessary yet—but the truth is, if you want to play games at 60 FPS in the future (and who doesn’t?), it’ll be worth it.
The most common fix for video stuttering is to pay attention to your PC’s GPU.
The most common fix for video stuttering is to pay attention to your PC’s GPU. It’s the part of a computer that renders images, and it’s what causes video stuttering. The GPU is also responsible for other things like rendering games in 3D or high-resolution photographs (like when taking pictures with your phone).
If you’re experiencing stuttering in videos on YouTube or Facebook, try restarting your browser or closing all tabs before starting a new one—this helps reset any cached data in those apps so they can re-render the page properly again. If this doesn’t work and you still see video tearing at 30 frames per second (fps), then there may be an issue with how your graphics card works under high loads, like playing games online or watching videos online.
New graphics cards are available to fix stuttering in most games.
You may have heard that a new graphics card is available to fix video stuttering. You may also wonder how a new graphics card can help you with your problem and if it’s worth buying one.
The short answer is yes! Many people have reported that their video stuttering issues disappeared after upgrading their computer’s graphics card. Some manufacturers are marketing whole lines of high-end gaming PCs with specialized cards explicitly designed for decreasing lag in games like Overwatch and League of Legends (which both suffer from significant frame rate drops).
Since the post, a few sites have picked up on it and done their research.
The “60 Frames Per Second” (FPS) is an industry-standard benchmark commonly used to show hardware and software improvements. Some gamers believe raising the FPS to 60 will result in smooth gameplay due to studies such as this, but raise it too high, and you might decrease performance. The study shows that only 6% of users can notice the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS, so if you are one of those people who cannot see the difference, here’s how you would go about making your computer display 60 FPS:
Get a new video card that supports Dual Link DVI or HDMI output (Dual-link DVI means using two DVI ports from your monitor). Get a new monitor which supports Dual Link DVI or HDMI output. Go through Nvidia Control Panel (Start>> Control Panel >> Programs>> Nvidia Control Panel). Enable V-Sync with 70FPS refresh rate in LowQuality settings. Disable Vertical Synchronization in the Nvidia control panel. Make sure Triple Buffering is enabled to prevent tearing. Check the Nvidia control panel for Power Management settings. Set your external GPU to Always On. Set your Primary Monitor as the default resolution
