I bought a new graphics card, an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti, in January. Since then I have the problem that my entire XFCE desktop has a short “stutter” every second. This is especially noticeable when playing videos (local or via browser), but I also notice these dropouts when scrolling slowly through a web page or moving a window across the screen. With Youtube videos I have about 10% dropped frames. It makes no difference if I use Chromium or Firefox.
As soon as I replace the graphics card with my old GTX 1050 Ti, I no longer have these issues. So there must be a connection with the graphics card. I was hoping that some driver update or a new Linux kernel would help, but so far nothing has happened. Although I have already looked around on the Internet in many possible places, I have not come across any comparable symptoms. Since the RTX 4070 Ti runs completely smoothly under Windows (dual boot), I assume that it is not a hardware defect.
Do you have any idea where to start fixing this issue? If you need any further information please let me know.
