Hey guys.

So i've played quite a few games, and lately ive noticed i'm getting stutters at high textures when i get high enough framerates (even when unlocking it)

Here is an example on Ethan Carter, unlocked my FPS is about 90-100 and i lock it to 60, with medium textures the stuttering goes but with high the stuttering is there, notice the framerate counter, all dips are stutters.

It also happens in Left 4 Dead 2, every setting at max but Textures is fine, but setting it to high textures with high paged pool memory i get micro freezes/stutters.

Same with Payday 2, everything max but? You guessed it, textures, or i get the same thing.

I previously thought it was faulty ram, but 48 memtest proved otherwise, i thought it was my HDD loading things in badly, but a new SSD didnt fix it, so now all i can think of is the GPU.

It doesnt happen on every game, sleeping dogs, tomb raider all ram great. Perfectly even, but Watch Dogs, Payday 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Ethan Carter and quite a few others do when i should be able to play themn at 60 fps solid.

No GPU fluctuations, temps are fine, clocks are fine, VRAM usage is never maxed out, ir eally dont understand this but if anyone could help i'll be very grateful!

1) your cpu could be getting hot and throttling.
2) Running out of ddr3 ram if you only have 4GB
3) If you are using 32bit windows games cant use all your ram
4) Unstable overclock
5) Slow hard drive, its happened to me on a laptop causing stutter like that. It was pinged at 90% usage with other background tasks before trying to run a game.

I just don't know your specs so I'm just making a list of possible reasons haha.
