I run a HTPC at home, fairly modest i3-4340 with Intel HD 4600 graphics, Windows 7 as I still use Media Center for live TV / PVR. It was fine until I upgraded Kodi to Krypton (V17) but now video playback of locally stored material (my own Blu-Ray rips I might add!) in Kodi is stuttering / jumpy. The audio plays fine but the video is jerky, sometimes it's fine and sometimes it isn't.
There's so much information out there but from what I can glean Krypton was a step change to use DirectX 12 and some older systems specifically those using onboard graphics might struggle. I'm wondering if adding a Nvidia GT 1030 passively cooled graphics card to my system might help matters as they're less than £70 but on the other hand I don't want to waste my money if that doesn't fix it. Anyone experienced similar?

I use a similar i3 based htpc to run it fine, but I do use linux rather than windows underneath which might make the difference.
Generally speaking, the box gets less use now though. Historically it was used for everything because we had a satellite tuner in there. In the end I found keeping tvheadend or myth working to run the satellite part too much of a headache so caved in and bought a humax PVR. Just watching our saved content now.
