Following up on the tread in case anyone searches this and is looking for answers. So I ended up getting a newer ssd samsung 860 pro, since the intel 320 series drives are a bit old, took out all other drives, installed windows 10, drivers, including nvidia driver without experience. Updated windows 10 fully and then Installed uplay and divisions 2. Played div 2 for an hour but instantly noticed much better performance. Installed msi afterburner with rtss and ran frametime and frame rate graphs. The graphs confirm that there are no more unusual frametime spikes for 40+ms. So it appears either that I possibly had a drive going bad or there was software that was causing performance issues.

Alright I will just do a fresh windows installs. Should I wipe all other drives as well or the main drive with Windows on it?

Right and I do understand that and there is really nothing I can do about that unless I upgrade or turn down settings those frametimes I am not really worried about. It's the crazy 50+ms spikes when neither cpu or gpu are hitting 100%. I've done it with overclocks and without overclocks and it ends up being the same thing. With the RAM it seems to happen on XMP settings or not. Ram are in the correct slots for my MB for dual channel. My monitor is g-sync and it happens with it on or off. anyways run games in full screen and only on a single monitor I do not have fast sync on. Capping the fps using RTSS does help the frame times but for division 2 it seems like to get rid of all frame spikes I need to cap really low to like 70 fps to completely get ride of them. As for getting rid of RTSS I could not then I Still get the stutters it seems.

So not sure if my system has an issue or if I am just pulling my hair out for no reason. Doesnt matter what game I play I end to get these frametime spikes I cannot seem to get an explanation for. The spikes happen with or without overclocks. I also ran the computer with just essential programs and virus scans are all clear. Also happens without any monitoring programs on as well. Capping fps low seems to cut down the frequency of the spikes but usually still happens. Here are some screenshots look at the frametime/framerate images: http://imgur.com/a/uMMZVvq. Here is also my userbenchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/19738517 I need help trying to figure out if there is something wrong. Now in this video, https://youtu.be/b5oTiLmEdgU, the person hardly has any spikes and he is running at 4k. When I play at 1440p at around 80 to 90 fps uncapped I seem to get spikes all over the place. Even capping at 60 fps I get spikes more often then in this video. So far I am thinking of 2 things with a possible third. 1. My RAM speed is slow and can be a bottleneck. I've been trying to find more details on this but cannot find much. 2. My cpu is a bottlenecking. I do notice that while gaming my gpu and cpu can be around 80 to 90%. The last part of maybe a faulty MB. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
