The Mortal Kombat Saga continues with the eleventh iteration of the game and takes off where the prequel ended in terms of story. Today, I will show you how you can fix Mortal Kombat 11 stutter issue on PC.

The game is not as smooth as people would have wished but as is the case with pretty much any game on PC the game is bound to run into a few problems until the first patch is released. Sadly, no patch has been released so far.

How To Fix Mortal Kombat 11`Stutter Issue on PC

Many people have been complaining about the stutter issue on PC. I have gone through different forums looking for a solution and the only solution that works is simple. Turns out that turning off Anti Aliasing from the graphics settings helps immensely with the stutter issue.

The stuttering is caused when the fps fluctuates between high and low in quick succession. This gives your game that annoying jittery feel. Apart from turning off AA, you can also tweet with Nvidia control panel settings to squeeze out more power from your GPU.

  • Right click on the desktop and then click on the Nvidia Control Panel. Click on “Manage 3d settings” on the left. Now choose Mortal Kombat 11 from “program settings”. Now change Power management mode to “Prefer Maximum Power”.
  • In the same Nvidia Control Panel, you can change “pre-rendered frames” to 1, this improves performance on less powerful systems.
  • Another useful tweak in Nvidia Settings is to turn shader cache on. In most cases, this would help improve FPS. You can always revert back to default settings should you notice any negative change in the performance of the game.
