I've tried a new motherboard and it has still not solved my issue. I'm completely out of ideas here. Would anyone have any ideas at all as to how I could go about fixing this?

This is from a session in Mordhau. I cannot line it up with any other peaks or dips in other monitored usage. (The 0s bit is alt tabbing)

I am pretty certain this isn't a GPU issue. The issue was present before I got my new card, as I kind of built up the system incrementally over the month. The previous card was a 970 and the stuttering issue was noticed then. At that point I had the CPU, Motherboard and RAM. I'm going to order a new motherboard and see if this is the issue. It's the only thing I can imagine it being.

Hey all. I've done as much research as I can on this before I go insane. I've tried a lot of solutions online but no avail yet. The earliest I can remember this happening was on the release of RE2 Remake. I remember noticing microstutters occurring during certain parts of the game. Initially I went out and got a new SSD to remedy this, but it didn't fix the problem. I chalked it up to outdated hardware and ignored it. However recently, I've been lucky enough to completely gut and basically rebuild my PC. It's been brought up to high end spec very comfortably, however I've noticed more and more microstutters throughout my experience. One such instance is still RE2. I noticed going through certain doorways, such as the one below the Chief's office saferoom, causes the game to stutter, maybe only for the first time going through that area. It lead me to believe this was potentially a RAM issue (loading new assets going into new area) but double checking XMP is on, upping RAM voltage, and even getting a further 16GB sticks didn't solve the issue. I even ran the windows memory tester and it came back with no errors. This remains constant with stutters occurring when things are maybe written to RAM (it always occurs with area changes / the game loading new parts of the map). Mordhau is another culprit. Other users of Mordhau have reported stutters as well, and seems to be an Unreal issue to some extent, however among my friends I am the only one experiencing the issue. Just during gameplay, small stutters are pretty common. I think the more people on a server (I usually play duels with 10-20 people) the more it takes place. I have not found a 100% reason for this yet. I have also tested this in very briefly in Witcher 3. I only got one stutter, but I did not move far from my initial position. The stutter occurred while moving, and I'm assuming it is again when new LOD assets are getting ready (I'm not very well versed on how this all works I'm just trying to guess). Apex Legends shows similar behavior. During times where I'm not really moving around the map, game is fine. Doing a lot of movement to other parts of the map usually follows some stutters. The only causality I can see represented is my GPU will dip when the stutter occurs. (First 2 dips https://i.imgur.com/vQogEmc.png) CPU, RAM usage, disk usage are all normal and stable. CPU not capping out. So I'll list some of the things that I've tried, and my hardware below here.

I've tried looking as deep as I can into the internet with my pretty decent troubleshooting skills and I just can't come up with a solution, and it's really bumming me out because I know it's just not how it's meant to be working. So any help would be massively appreciated for this guys, thank you for reading.
