Occasional Stutter in Dell G7 7588 (esp on Laptop Screen)

[vroix]

Hello everyone,

 

I encounter some issues while playing Skyrim SE.

I switched from PC gaming to Laptop Gaming (Dell G7).

My Laptop specifications are:

CPU : i7-8750H

RAM : 16GB

GPU : GeForce GTX 1060 with Max Q 6GB

HDD : SSD 256GB

 

Auto detect from launcher and NVDIA G Experience told me that my laptop can run on ultra and I can run it with 60 fps after turning off the vsync (the rule of thumb tweak for Skyrim SE regarding the vsync).

I manage to run modded skyrim SE on 60 fps but often there are sudden lag or stutter which makes the fps drops to 10~15 fps for a few seconds then it goes back to 60 fps. This happen often.

This is kinda strange because when I test it on Oldrim with a lot of mods, there are no stutter. Even after I modify the graphic settings like lowering the textures, shadow, distance, etc. The stutter keep happening.

Then I tried to connect the display to TV and voila, there are no stutter at all. I googled around and it seems like the integrated graphic is directly connected to laptop screen while external display is directly connected to GTX 1060 which is why on TV there are no stutter.

However, I tried to connect the display on LG 22MP65 (which is not a TV but casual PC Monitor) and the stutter return. At this moment I am confused because I thought that by connecting the display to external screen will remove the stutter but it seems like the stutter is only gone when I connect the display to TV.

 

Does anyone has experience the same issues or have any idea how to deal with this?

Strangely I played ME Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition on my laptop before and it was smooth.
