Slither.io problems

[Festive]

I know this seems dumb but just bear with me please. Slither.io, one of those dumb online browser games that run perfectly on $100 chromebooks won't run smoothly on my desktop. Maybe my computer is a complete potato and that's the reason? No, there is no reason I should have problems on an i7-6700k + GTX 1080 pc. The problem I'm facing is stuttering, the game jitters and stutters 100% of the time and is so bad it borderlines on unplayable. This isn't a huge issue for me as I barely even play the game at all but from time to time I'll get on and play for 10-15 minutes. My temps are fine obviously as the game doesn't stress anything, processor is always at 4-4.3 ghz (stable). 

 

Why can't I run this but The Witcher 3 at Ultra settings runs at 80+FPS?

for me, it depends on the browser when it comes to browser based games. some games run like crap in one and smooth in the other.

Check browser settings, and also check your network usage.  The Chromebooks depend on google's filtering, which is quite good and smooth.  Chome browser in Windows may be affected by other settings.  You could also download the 'FreeMeter' app and see what your bandwidth is looking like while playing the game.

Do you have hardware acceleration in chrome on or off?  tbh I'm not sure if that will even make a difference but it's worth a try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not sure if anyone cares anymore but the problem is your 144Hz monitor.

For whatever reason slither.io becomes almost completely unplayable when on a 144Hz display. Moving it to a 60Hz display or changing your settings will fix it.
