Ive had this stuttering issue for a long time now. In every game (such as War Thunder, CSGO, GTA V...), when I move, I experience stutter. Its been annoying me and its making my gaming experience unplayable. I'm starting to think if I should just upgrade to a new GTX 970 along with a new PSU supply? I thought it was something to do with temperatures so I installed 2 new fans into my Vibox case. Lowers my tempatures alot, but does not stop the stuttering. I've tried changing voltages, power settings. I've tried overclocking which helps the stuttering but hardly any difference. I've looked at loads of fourms. I've tried unparking my CPU. I have spent at least 200000 hours trying to figure out this problem and it is doing my head in. I can't just afford to buy a new PC. On another fourm, there was something about my mouse drivers. Tried installing mouse drivers. I also have the latest AMD drivers. I've tried turbo core in AMD overdrive. The stuttering I think only happened 'suddenly'.
In CSGO when I strafe sideways I get the stuttering and sometimes see black thin lines that look like artifacts. I even stutter when moving forward. This happens in all games especially when looking (strafing) sideways.
Is my GPU dying? In the past I have put it under strain when it reached 100 degrees alot of the time due to bad cooling. What could this possibly be?
