End Resource-Intensive Tasks

If the issue persists, open your Task Manager by searching for it in your start menu search. In the Processes tab, make sure to end the programs from running in the background, which could show an overlay while in-game. You should, in addition end CPU intensive processes, such as Shadowplay and Adobe Applications, but make sure to only end the processes from running that you know won’t break your operating system.

Update Graphics Card Driver

Ensure your graphics driver is up to date. I suggest using the GeForce Experience application for an NVIDIA GPU, but you can also use the AMD driver suite. Depending on how frequently you update your GPU, this tweak can make the biggest difference. In the Drivers tab, simply click on Download and the application will automatically download and install the latest driver.

Windows OS Update

Search for Update to open up your Check for updates system settings window. Click on Check for updates, and after downloading the latest OS update, restart your PC.

Enable NVIDIA Image Scaling (NIS)

If the problem is related to your system performance, you might need to lower your in-game graphics settings.

If you’re using an NVIDIA graphics card, I suggest enabling NVIDIA Image Scaling, which will greatly increase your performance. To do so, you should use the GeForce Experience application. In the Drivers tab, ensure that the most recent GPU driver is installed. Navigate to your GeForce settings. Here, scroll down and enable the Image Scaling option. This will boost your overall frame rates when playing a game on your PC.
