Stutter despite high fps

Gave that shot and nothing of notice happened. So, I've tried a few other things, specifically unplugging different pieces of hardware ie my other drives, sound card, different mouse, everything still stuttered. I tried re-downloading geforce experience for the hell of it, still stutters in fullscreen and borderless. I've even installed a couple of other games to try, doesn't seem to matter if its an indie title, triple a, or some horribly unoptimized EA title, when I move the camera/character, it stutters, but never static. I can sit still and watch anything happen, and its fine. I've noticed something with games with FPS counters, when the update for how much fps I have occurs seems to be a stutter, and in some cases simply displaying the fps counter causes me to stutter even harder. I used msiburner to monitor everything, and nothing seems to fluctuate in anyway. 

 

So at this point, I figure I could try reinstalling windows, just to be absolutely sure there isn't some program running that's the source. After that, if it still happens, I guess I could try replacing my CPU? I honestly don't know what to do besides take a loan out and replace EVERY single piece of hardware I own down to the ethernet cord.

Read this?

I read the entirety of it. I suppose I'll be trying to revert, though I don't have pro so I'm not sure if it'll help. The problem with that thread is I'm not having FPS loss out of the ordinary, or anything weird happening on hardware monitors. I just have consistent stuttering. Maybe I'll go to win7 with an AMD card and call it a day.

 

Edited to say I'm pretty sure Im seeing it on streams/videos now to, not sure if that makes CPU the most likely cause or not.

Hey so, I'm not sure if there are thread reviving rules here or not. I just wanted to stop back and say I fixed the stuttering. I tried everything short of reinstalling windows, and before I decided to do that I took another look at my processes. I force killed about 6-7 of them, and my stuttering stopped. Turns out something called Razer Scanning Service was the culprit. I'm not sure if I missed it before or if it just repopped, but after ending it and disabling it I haven't had any stuttering. I'm gonna mark this as resolved incase some poor soul encounters the same shenanigans I did.
