New GPU install stutter

[Artify]

Hey everyone, 

I have just installed this new card into my system and sometimes it works okay but then sometimes it doesn’t. It likes to freeze my monitor for a few seconds and then keep repeating that process. I’m not too sure what’s going on, maybe my monitor isn’t that great or could it be a card issue? I just installed a GTX 970 in replacement of my 3200g integrated graphics, so I’ve uninstalled all AMD graphics drivers. If anyone could give some input on to what may be happening, that would be great. Thank you!

Full machine specs are likely going to be needed for this one.  Load and idle temps too probably.  You just tripled the heat load in your case.

I have a Ryzen 3 3200g, just added the GTX 970, an ASRock A320M-HDV, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance at 3200MHz, 2 SSDs (not sure if the brands matter as much), my case is a Lian Li LANCOOL 205m, and an EVGA 450w PSU all running on current Windows 10 and Nvidia drivers. I also have only 1 fan in the front which I do plan to add more especially with a card just added, so if heats the issue I can definitely add more as needed.

The stutter Is hard to nail down (as to its cause)

My... "bet" (as it were) wouldnt even exist without a test.
That is of the most minimal background rendering benchmark.

How would i do this? Well youd first have to understand the why... I will explain.

Background sh** runs all the time when you have a full install.
Typically: Your Task Manager (or better yet: Process Hacker) will show "Faults"
The more faults the more lag. (easy and true rule to live by) 

So With what i have around me... I would slap a cheap NVME into a USB controller...
Use RUFUS USB to make a windows to go... Boot from it - give it the most basic shiz...

THEN... install my game (to test)
Just to see what is causing the issue, or if it is my CPU/ram/etc.

Troubleshooting is all about removing possibilities. thereby increasing the probability of cause.

Found out the issue, it was the newest driver I installed, it wasn’t working well with my card but I went back to a previous driver and everything works fine now. Thank you for your help everybody!
