nVidia drivers cause system-wide microstuttering.

Hi there,

 

I need help because this problem is driving me crazy.

 

This began right when I purchased GTX1080. When I have nvidia drivers installed, my entire PC has  microstuttering/rubber banding. I can tell that even by moving mouse cursor  along my desktop. It move with somewhat slight but very noticeable stutters as if my refresh rate was 30HZ, in games its even worse because they run as if they were locked to 30FPS.  If I uninstall GPU drivers, those stutters go away, I can tell that my mouse cursor is very smooth and seamless.

 

My FPS are fine, same as monitor refresh rate (75Hz). I don't know what is causing it. Previous I had driver 411.70 that was running perfectly fine, but yesterday for some dumb reason I updated to 416.34 and problem returned. the sad part it that I've tried rolling back to 411.70 and a handful of other drivers, but this issue doesn't go away. Also, its not GPU problem. I've tried 3 different GPUs, all of them have this issue.

My theory could be that my previous RX480 could've damaged by motherboard when it died. But then again, why is everything working perfectly when no drivers are installed.

Did you use DDU to uninstall the previous drivers?  Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 17.0.7.8

Yes

Hmm, in that case if it's that annoying I would most likely just reinstall windows to try and get rid if the problem.
