Asus addresses stuttering issues plaguing its gaming laptops — beta patch released for ROG laptops, final fix due in October

Asus is addressing stuttering issues on its ROG gaming laptops with beta BIOS updates, with a final fix expected in October. The company has identified the root cause of the bug and will release finalized firmware starting early next month. The first trial updates are for select configurations of the 2023 Strix Scar 15 and Zephyrus M16 models. Reports of system-wide stutters on ROG laptops have been surfacing, with users experiencing issues like audio crackling and input lag. The problem was attributed to BIOS-level ACPI interrupt storms and improper power cycling of the dGPU.
