update: I've updated the BIOS from version 1301 to 2102 and the issue still persists.

I've tested both configurations with a different monitor and also disabled Windows exploit protection. No positive results yet.

update: I have a second system with an i5 8600k and an Asrock z370 extreme4 board. After swapping some parts around, I noticed that, when using these configurations: 8600K + Asus mobo = stutters 8700k + Asus mobo = stutters 8700K + Asrock mobo = stutters 8600k + Asrock mobo = no stutters I'm currently trying to do a BIOS update on the Asus board..

Hey guys, I'm pretty stuck at the moment. I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on with the constant stutters that I'm having in every single game that I try to play. Here's a list of the things that I've tried so far. -DDU and reinstall new and older gpu drivers -replace RAM Physically -change Display Port Cables -change CPU power utilization to 99% to disable Intel CPU boost -Change GPU physically -Change SSD Physically -Disconnect HDD and only use SSD -Re seat all cables (including removing sleeved cable extenders completely) -Disable all overclocks completely -reset CMOS (should disable overclocks for CPU) Not really sure what the issue is. Help me out please!

The memory clock speed on my GTX 980 Ti continuously pulses from what i consider to be idle (810mhz) to 3415mhz during bench marking and game play. this causes in game time to pulse as well (much like a short pulse in time). Any idea what's going on here?
