As it seems you realise, the fps as such is not very important once it's over about 20 or 30. Obviously the stuttering is an issue.

Has this always been the case since you've had this game? Or it was okay up to some point?

Does the size of the galaxy you play make any difference?

Does it happen right from the start, or only in mid or late game play?

Is this only happening on speed 5, or lower speeds?


Right click on stellaris.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then unload GeForce Experience if loaded.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, then cap the refresh rate at 60.


If that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .

You haven't done everything I suggested here, the refresh rate is set to 170 still and you are in borderless mode:

Also update that nVidia driver to April 2023:
www.nvidia.com

Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers

Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers www.nvidia.com
And make sure GeForce Experience is unloaded after doing that.
