The reason I am asking this is as follows.
The Problem: When I move the windows of some applications such as MSI afterburner and Argus monitor, they clearly stutter as they move.
To describe the problem clearly, when I click on the application window and move it from left to right, these applications freeze for a split second and then jump to the updated position. This is like FPS drops in games except it is happening on the desktop when moving windows.
Here is a video of it. https://imgur.com/ViPx6nc
Attempted Solutions:
1. Reinstalled Windows. Installed all drivers. Didn't install Asus Armory crate.
2. Tried different mice. My main mouse is the Logitech G703. It used to produce stutters when the wireless USB dongle didn't have line of sight to the mouse. But for the tests above, I am using it in wired mode. Tried changing polling rate of the mice.
3. Noticed that applications that use "GPU 0 - 3D" under GPU engine in Task Manager do not have this stuttering issue. These application include Chrome, MS office, Spotify and even Desktop Window Manager.
4. Does not affect any games at all. Only desktop use.
So, I was thinking that maybe some applications use the CPU only to render which causes stuttering when there is too much info to draw. SO, I thought about whether using the iGPU drivers might fix such an issue.
I wanted to make sure before trying it because I know Intel and Nvidia driver conflicts are possible causing new problems while gaming.
EDIT: I am on the 10900K with Asus Strix Z490-I and Asus strix OC 1080Ti.

I asked a friend to test out the same apps. https://imgur.com/iFpRUh6 And it turns out these monitoring apps (MSI afterburner, argus monitor, hwinfo) all stutter a bit when clicked on and dragged.
Issue resolved.
