Ensure the scaling is set to 100% and that you’re using a normal native resolution. In your in-game graphics settings, make sure to set the window mode to Fullscreen.
End Resource-Intensive Programs
If the issue persists, open your Task Manager by searching for it in your start menu search. In the Processes tab, make sure to end the programs from running in the background, which could show an overlay while in-game. In my case, that would be Steam, GeForce Experience or Discord. It would be best if you also ended CPU-intensive processes, such as Shadowplay and Adobe Applications, but make sure to only end the processes from running that you know won’t break your operating system.
Update your Graphics CardDriver
Ensure your graphics driver is up to date. I suggest using the GeForce Experience application when using an NVIDIA GPU, but you can also use the AMD driver suite. Depending on how frequently you are updating your GPU, this tweak can make the biggest difference. In the Drivers tab, simply click on Download and the application will automatically download and install the latest driver.
Windows Operating System Update
Search for Update to open your Check for updates system settings window. Click on Check for updates, and after downloading the latest OS update, make sure to restart your PC.
Enable NVIDIA Image Scaling
If the problem is related to your system performance, you might need to lower your in-game graphics settings. If you’re using an NVIDIA graphics card, I suggest enabling NVIDIA Image Scaling, which will greatly increase your performance. To do so, you should use the GeForce Experience application. In the Drivers tab, ensure that the most recent GPU driver is installed. Navigate to your GeForce settings. Scroll down and enable the Image Scaling option. This will boost your overall frame rates when playing a game on your PC.
