GPU Causing Stuttering After Awhile

[J/C]

• Hey guys!, so for the past few months I've been getting an issue where after playing a game for about 1-2 hours my GPU's utilization goes down to about 60% and starts lagging the games I play. To fix this I would have to put my PC to sleep and turn it back on or restart, when its not lagging it doesn't go under 80%  and games are running smooth.

Also this isn't fps lag, my fps stays the same (ex. csgo at around 150-200fps) but it would just cause stuttering and jittery movement. Doesn't seem like a temperature problem, my temps seems fine, CPU maxes at around 58C, and GPU at around 50C, CPU usage stays the same (when stuttering and when playing smooth) at around 50%.  

Is there something I missed? This has been happening for months now and its driving me crazy! Any help is appreciated!, thanks.  .

(also I haven't checked the clock speeds when lagging yet so maybe that's a factor), and I'm using HWMonitor and CPU-Z for diagnosing. Specs are listed below.

Try changing cable, swap to other slot on your GPU. See if it's your monitor's that's dying by any chance. Also, reinstall drivers.. Hope it gets fixed.

I've recently been having stuttering issues, turns out (long story short), malware was in my PC using resources, even when nothing looks suspicious. I highly recommend "malwarebytes" application, remove anything it finds you identify as malware, and try again. I used to get 90fps on battlefield, but when I had malware, I was in the low 20s. Try that

I actually tried these awhile ago, didn't work :3 thanks for the input though.

No malware, I do regular scans, and I've reinstalled windows several times in the past 2 months. Thanks though, this is a strange issue :3
