Gears of War 4 CPU Issues/Stuttering?

Unfortunately I don't have a photo to show exactly what I mean, however I feel I can give adequate explanation;

 

Sometimes I play gears of war 4 and after around 30 minutes it starts stuttering, getting progressively worse until I can't play anymore. Doing a benchmark generally shows 99% GPU bound, however when the game is stuttering it shows only 95% GPU bound and shoes spikes of CPU bound gameplay. Checking MSI afterburner shows no drops in CPU clock speed, nor any spikes in CPU usage (stays around 30%). When I restart the game, seemingly the issue goes away again. Has anyone had this issue? Can I just write it off as an issue with the software, rather than an issue with my rig/processor? 

 

Thanks

If nothing about the pc is changing like the temps or usages and an immediate restart fixes it then its seems like its the software.

that game is a mess, try lowering CPU load by setting shadows to low and check single core utilization instead all cores.
