Windows 10: My framerate is good but games keep freezing briefly

Hi folks.For example, when I run GTA 5 using Steam I get an average of about 60 fps with my Lenovo Ideapad Y700 laptop which I believe is about 5 years old now, but every now and then the game freezes briefly which makes it quite unplayable. It used to run really well but it seems to be a problem now since either a Windows update, an nVidia Geforce driver update or maybe since I used IOBit Advanced System Care, although the reason I used that was because I noticed this problem before that anyway.I also tried Forza Horizon 4 which isn't on Steam and although it seems to run better it still ha

Request: Higher framerate for games

Aaah, yes, you're definitely right that the performance depends on the developer: I was behind the times and thought that the framerate was still limited to 30 fps by the operating system/XNA framework. Turns out that the framerate can now be increased
up to 60 fps:

"The XNA Framework on Windows Phone OS 7.1 supports the native device refresh rate, up to 60 Hz. If you set the
PresentationParameters.PresentationInterval property to
PresentInterval.One, then the PresentInterval.One value is used, targeting the native device refresh rate."

I'll make sure to pass a message on to Half Brick... Hopefully they'll update their game to run at 60 fps soon!

Thanks!
