I have tried everything that i could, and i still get stuttering in demanding games after 1.5 years of owning my PC. I'll try to explain everything as detailed as possible. My fps is fine, but i get frametime spikes which point to a CPU issue because in games like BF1 and DOOM, my CPU frametime graph spikes up during the stutters while the GPU graph stays stable. It's hard to see the stutters in the videos but you have to take my word for it. My score in Cinebench R20 is 2649, 3DMark Firestrike score is: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/33998414? (that is with my old configuration with 2 different RAM manufacturers and a different HDD, but it will be the same now so i won't bother testing it again.

Here are my specs:
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x
  • RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200Mhz 2x8GB for AMD (model number ends with GTZRX)
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H
  • Cooler: Wraith Spire RGB
  • GPU: ASUS ROG Strix RX570 4GB
  • SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 250GB
  • HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM
  • PSU: Corsair CX550M
Everything is on stock, except that the XMP profile is on. My CPU never goes over 65°C, GPU never goes above 75°C.

These are the games that get stuttering:
  • GTA V
  • Crysis 3
  • Apex Legends
  • Battlefield 1
  • DOOM 2016
  • BioShock Infinite
  • Killing Floor 2
  • Wreckfest
And here are the games that have no stuttering:
  • Rocket League
  • Broforce
  • CS:GO(although sometimes it also stutters for some reason)
  • DiRT Rally
  • Left 4 Dead 2 etc.
Things that i have tried:
  • Updating BIOS
  • Updating GPU and Chipset drivers
  • Manually changing my CPU and GPU frequency and voltage so it doesn't go down
  • Changing the RAM
  • Changing the slots in which the RAM is installed
  • Changing my HDD
  • Unplugging my HDD for the games that are on my SSD
  • Reinstalling the CPU
  • Disabling/Enabling Chill and Framerate Target Control
  • Setting the games to high priority in Task Manager
  • Changing affinity in Task Manager
  • Unplugging my second monitor
  • Lots of different settings and resolutions
  • Closing every single program except for Radeon Settings
  • Monitoring my usages when the stutters happen, nothing spikes up at that time
  • Replugging all the cables
  • I use Freesync but i have also tried V sync
  • Disabling all the overlays(Origin, Steam)
  • Swithing from High performance power plan to Ryzen Balanced
  • DDU
  • Clean install of Windows

So think-what's the difference between the games stutter and those that don't ?

Compare one of each--fps, settings, etc.

Perhaps you need a gpu with more vram ?
