Unfortunately this may mean a problem with NVidia card. Try to downclock it for test.
Can you try it with another PC or another card with your one?

Upon downloading my graphics drivers for my Nvidia Card, nvlddmkm.sys has caused major stuttering and lag.
Anyone who can help?
Thanks!

No matter what I do, the one driver - nvlddmkm.sys is causing stuttering.

Try to use another version of driver.

I used DDU to clean the drivers, and upon a reboot everything was fine. However, upon reinstalling the proper drivers the stuttering started once again.

2020-04-03T19:10:51+00:00 Hi,
is this laptop or desktop? Please use third-party Display Driver Uninstaller tool to clean current driver and install proper driver. For laptop this is driver from laptop manufacturer's site.
