And that made all video play-back super smooth with no more stuttering, including 4K 60FPS videos in MKV format. In VLC, I set the Video Output to Direct3d11, and then, what fixed the problem for me, was to select the VLC app in the NVIDIA Control Panel under Manage 3D Settings, and change the Vertical Sync setting from Use the 3D Application Setting, to Adaptive.

However, by trial and error, I finally found a solution that worked. At least on my previous computer, I could run 4K videos smoothly by disabling hardware acceleration and running it on 3 CPU threads, but with my current rig, even that wouldn't work. I tried all the suggestions I could find on the web, but nothing seemed to work.

Up until now, I have not been able to run VLC on my Windows 10 PC without stuttering when using NVIDIA hardware acceleration. It seems I will need to avoid dragging and dropping a new video onto a video that is currently playing. The issue was corrected by restarting VLC. Mind you, this did not occur with the prior version of VLC.

Ok, it seems changing videos within the same instance of VLC causes an issue with playback, I was playing one video and then I drag and drop another video onto the video playing and then I experienced the same banding lag as described above.

I'll report back if I have any other issues. That appears to have corrected the issue. I switch the output mode to 'OpenGl video output for Windows'. Ok, I started experiencing strange layer banding, where certain areas of the image seemed to be lagging during playback. I changed the output to D3D9 and that seems to have corrected the issue. When I would play videos, the video would be pixelated and when that would resolve at the top of the video image would be a purple bar. I updated to the latest version of VLC: 3.0.14 Vetinari. If one of above points works for you, mention it with your configuration/symptom/VLC version !
