Stuttering is usually the result of a CPU bottleneck. It has nothing to do with it being a lower end build. He would be getting low FPS, not stuttering. If you pair a 4790k with a 2080ti, even though the 4790k is still very decent and could power even a 2070 fine, it would bottleneck badly and stutter if paired with a 2080ti, even though both parts are good. In OPs case, I think his CPU is good enough for that GPU though. In that scenerio you have a high end build that still stutters. If you had a super good CPU, and a slow GPU, you would get low FPS but usually never stuttering. Maybe something to do with the HDD getting used by some other processes, and being pinned at 100% while hes trying to game. That would also cause stutter. I used to have an issue where windows would keep doing a virus scan on my 'high speed' (oxymoron for an HDD nowadays) HDD and it would pin it at 100% for hours, causing stuttering in games because the game couldn't load the files fast enough in real time with the virus scan hogging its resources.

 

So to OP, look into your HDD usage when gaming. Open task manager and go to the performance tab, you'll see the drive and its usage. Look at what its doing when gaming and stuttering.

my disk was at 100% sometimes while not on a game so do i need a new hard drive or get an ssd? also do i have to instal the games on an ssd

Im guessing thats what the issue is then. Either find out whats bogging down the HDD and stop, or upgrade to an SSD. The games would have to be on the SSD if you want it to load fast.

I had a bad drive which was failing, WDC black. My games would freeze for 10 frames or so. Pretty noticeable.

I replaced it with a blue drive and the problem is still there, although I can't say if it is mitigated.

So it could also mean something else is wrong.

Do i need to uninstall my games on my hard drive and download them on my ssd and can i move windows on my ssd for faster boot times also i noticed on some games my cpu being at 90% does that matter?

Either do some googling on how to transfer over the files when switching, or just do a fresh install and re-download everything. Windows will be significantly faster on the SSD and games will also load significantly faster. If its only reaching 90%, thats certainly high usage but not 100%. It it was constantly "blipping" up to 100% Im guessing at that exact moment is when you are going to stutter because you'd be CPU bottle-necking. Every game is different in CPU/GPU usage so some games might have a problem while others wont.
