Problem with games with my GT 730.

Long story short, I'm getting a lot of frame drops and stutters while using my GT 730,

The frame drops and stutters is noticeable in source games. Stutters shows up in Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 whenever a moving object with lighting. (i.e red flares, lightning, etc.) shows up. In Portal 2, fps drops to a constant 20fps in the chamber where you meet a disabled GLaDOS. In CS:GO, firing guns near a wall produces frame drops from 60-80 down to 20-30 for a millisecond, making aiming hard. In the same game, updated maps becomes a stutter fest, 10-35 in Nuke map and the Cargoship map.

Another game with this problem is Fallout: New Vegas. The game is stuttering a lot even in the lowest settings. And in War Thunder, Which the game goes down to 10 fps in random occurences. Some relatively old games (Sim City 4, Call of Duty 2, World at War) are also at unplayable fps.

All of these problems are gone when I use my R5 230, Which is nearly 3-5 times weaker.

I know I already posted here before with the same subject, But what is really wrong here? Some kind of issues with newer cards in older hardware? I know my PC is a decade old (Optiplex 755), But IMO it shouldn't pose that much of a problem with lower end cards (which are kinda intended with older hardware with those slow Intel GMA or those without video outputs.). And I see many videos with Q6600 and GT 730's running fine on more demanding games.

IMO, you are making it much more harder to do this, since everyone is going to ask you the same questions as the other thread.

Stick to one thread, where things have been tried & close this one up.

Install MSI Afterburner which is bundled with RivaTuner. Then enable in game overlay or monitor GPU temperatures and clockspeeds on a second window.
