Hello, I have a i7 4790, GTX 960 2GB, 8GB Single Channel RAM, 1TB HDD, 500W Corsair PSU. I have had this issue for a year where any game I would play such as H1Z1, DayZ, GTA5, Unknownplayer Battlegrounds and War Frame I would start to stutter. Sometimes the stutter starts from the start of the game, or even sometimes 10min into gameplay. I kept thinking to myself maybe the game has poor optimization but there are people with worse PC's that me that can atleast run it smoothly around 40-60fps on low/medium settings. All of the temperatures are pretty even. I've kept thinking maybe it's the CPU because I upgraded it from a i3 and plus my CPU is second hand. Then I'm thinking it could be the GPU, so then I had a spare GPU laying around (GT 740) and I was getting low FPS but then started stuttering like I was with my GTX 960. So can anyone help me how can I see what hardware could be causing this awful annoying ass stutter I keep on coming across on most of the games I play on. I shouldn't be running Low/Med on a i7 with a GTX 960.
Here are few videos of my gameplay:
