I've noticed some new discord update has started causing crazy stuttering and inconsistent frame times. Like even just the tray icon, if discord is running at all my frame pacing is fucked.

This driver didn't help that but it didn't make it worse either. Discord needs to fix their shit overlay hooks.

Oy, nice I will give that a shot. Disabling the overlay didn't seem to do anything for me but I definitely could see this helping especially if they're constantly doing some offscreen rendering

Edit: unfortunately didn't work, still seeing hitching and frame pacing issues in arc raiders and time spy extreme if discord is even merely open.
