Warcraft 3 Stutter

I would recommend to try the following:

Only changes to the client I would recommend to keep:

  • graphicsapi Direct3D9
  • Keeping settings lowered to medium.

Out side of the game:

  • Reset the Nvidia Settings to default.

  • Keep background applications disabled following the Windows 10 steps Here and restart the PC.

  • Then make sure the Operating System and NVidia settings are set to high performance:

  • Operating System steps can be found here: Configuring Power Management Settings - Blizzard Support

  • NVIDIA Steps: Right click on your Desktop → NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Under the Global Settings tab → Select: Power Management mode → Prefer Maximum Performance. Apply → Exit the window.

If the issue continues there are a few outstanding bugs related to performance but I don’t see any known for your CPU or GPU. Just to make sure we covered as much as we could double-check the system isn’t overheating.

After that it would be worth bug reporting to our developers on the WarCraft III forums Here.

Thank you.
