    oof first rule out teh obvious: on laptops, check that the game actually uses teh dedicated GPU. Settings > System > Display > Graphics, add the games .exe, set it to High performance. Driver updates can reset per-app GPU preferences.

    lol same thing happened to me check Power Options: a Windows update or driver installer can switch to Balanced or a battery saver profile, on laptops, also check the manufacturers performance mode app. lmk how it goes

    Accepted solution

    ahh classic after a driver update, games often rebuild their shader cache, which causes stutter for teh first sessions. Give it a couple of runs, or clear the driver shader cache manually in teh control panel / %LocalAppData% cache folder and let it rebuild once.
