Graphics Card Stuttering Issues?

[Staycalm]

I have a sapphire nitro+ rx580 8g graphics card and I've recently been having issues with it. It was working just fine, getting frame rates that were what I was expecting in games for about the first month or so I've been using it, but just recently it started having problems with stuttering. On the windows 10 home screen, moving my mouse too fast or hovering over icons (Making the little blue box appear around them) makes the mouse stutter and teleport over to where it should be. Low impact games like Smite and CS:GO run buttery smooth, but just about every other game is unplayable at this point with all the stutters and frame rate drops.

 

Also worth mentioning, whenever I try to watch YouTube videos at 480p, there's what feels like almost a full second of latency between when I hear the sound coming from my speakers or headphones and the frames actually updating to the point in the video where the sound actually happened. Not sure if these two problems are related in any way, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try. 

 

Thanks in advance!!

For graphics card issue: you may need to increase your RAM, or there is a virus related issue.
