Mortal Kombat 1 is out now on PC for premium edition owners, and while it runs quite well on a variety of PCs, there are some technical limitations similar to Mortal Kombat 11.

This can really kill the immersion, and if you’re on an NVIDIA GPU, here is how you can reduce, and potentially fix Mortal Kombat 1 stuttering.
