Do a proper clean driver install: boot into Safe Mode, run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to wipe the old driver, then instlal teh current stable driver with networking unplugged so Windows Update doesnt push its own version in between.

oh ive been there lol do the hitches happen at regular intervals, like every few seconds on a timer, or only when something new loads in or appears?

ok but do u have any extensions that change serach pages? some block animations.
