Frame drops and stuttering

[Lawrence13]

I've recently purchased a new pc but I'm having some problems around gaming like frame drops in games like bioshock infinite and battlefield 3 or dirty bomb for example and I don't know why this drops and stuttering come from, I usually have around 120-200 fps while playing but then for a second goes to 30 or 15 and goes back normal. I wouldn't care if it was occasionally but it happens really often. I have checcked the temps while gaming and the CPU stays at around 60-75 Celsius.

 

Thank you for the advice.

what temps are your gpu getting? have you  tried cleaning the gpu drivers and reinstalling freshly downloaded ones? do you have many programs running in the background? 

have you tried a clean boot? does it still persist? CCleaner is a good alternative where you can disable startup items and scheduled tasks easily

Do you know any program I can use to check the gpu temp?. I usually have spotify playing on the background and I recently updated the graphics drivers in order to see if the problem was solved.

I've tried ending all active applications and some backdround ones and other things and now I only have problems with Biosock Infinite

so the stuttering is most likely caused by programs running in the background, and i have a feeling that spotify was the main culprit, can you download the songs and play offline? does it still stutter? 
 

as for bioshock; try re downloading/installing it, try another drive if you have, you could also maybe move the files to another drive and reinstall over as a fairly quick test (for steam just move the folder, delete it in steam and reinstall it to the other drive, it should detect and verify the files in a few moments)
