stuttering occuring when gpu usage drops

[MirroredAtom]

I've just completely upgraded my rig and im still seeing stuttering

ryzen 5 2600

gtx1060 6gb

2666 16gb duel channel memory

500 watt 80+ bronze

just installed new HDD

and when I used msi afterburner i could see that when playing games my GPU usage would go from 90-99% to 25-60% every time it would stutter and i don't know how to fix this because it does that way too often for a game to be enjoyable.(on fortnite, pubg and arma 3, and it can't be because it's an open world game because just cause 3 runs perfectly fine, possibly)

A few things could be happening.. CPU Bottleneck (Extremely unlikely) RAM Bottleneck (not likely with 16gb unless you have a memory leak) or Running out of VRAM. This is going to the likely point based on what you have listed is that your VRAM usage is out and its offloading the stuff to system memory which is magnitudes slower than VRAM. When monitoring in MSI Afterburner, monitor your VRAM usage and report what that is at.

Well I have a 1060 6gb and on pubg and fortnite no stuttering occures.

@Skiiwee29 When my gpu usage drops my vram usage stay consistent and it's extremely confusing

@Smiles4Miles Everyone's card is different, sadly, my whole system is different so my games run different

Right, but what is the usage at?

[MirroredAtom]

@Skiiwee29 On fortnite its around 3000 on all epic, and on pubg its around 4000 on everything ultra

How is your temps on your CPU and GPU during this?

[MirroredAtom]

@Skiiwee29 My gpu temps are between 50-60 i believe, and my cpu temps are between 50-60 (Celsius)

@Skiiwee29 Update: after checking my cpu temps are actually 60-70 degrees Celsius it varies

When the stuttering occurs, what is the CPU and RAM usage when this happens, also what is the disk usage as well, if using multiple disks look at the OS drive and the drive where the games installed.

[MirroredAtom]

@Snipergod87 cpu usage doesn't really change and same with memory i believe, my disk should be perfectly fine, it's new, boot times are good, and load times are also quick

also, i can't overclock my gpu as well because my games crash after doing so. @Snipergod87 @Skiiwee29
