FPS Stuttering On all Games, despite fairly high end rig

[bonjelaboy]

Hello, hoping you can help with a persistent problem I have been having for over a year.
I have been experiencing stuttering in games recently, but it performs a little oddly: The game will run perfectly smooth on the highest graphics settings but will occasionally freeze up entirely for a brief moment before continuing smoothly. Audio continues through the stutter. Some examples are shown in videos below:

Please note this issue is not isolated to multiplayer and also occurs on single player games. I have noticed on windows task manager that there is a drop in performance of the GPU when stutters occur as seen in this screenshot.

Welcome to PCHF bonjelaboy,

What is the brand and model name or number of the 700W PSU.

Please note this issue is not isolated to multiplayer and also occurs on single player games. I have noticed on windows task manager that there is a drop in performance of the GPU when stutters occur as seen in this screenshot.

If all the games that you play are online the issue could be with your internet, we can check this first;

Use the free versions at the following two links.

Stress test your GPU with Furmark

Check your FPS with Valley
