I came here to ask advice from those far more knowledgeable than I because I have run into a problem and simply cannot figure out what is going on. I have had a Titan X for about 3 months no and it has performed wonderfully. GTA 5 on highest settings, rock solid 60fps, Witcher 3 maxed, same. Smooth as butter. The rest of my system is in good shape too, MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Z97 GAMING Motherboard, Intel i7-4790K Processor, EVGA 1200 power supply and 32 gig of ram.
So this weekend I order a Samsung 500 GB SSD to replace the 2TB hard drive I have my OS on. At first it threw off my boot order and wouldnt boot, so I rewired the hard drives (I currently have 4 other hard drives installed) and then changed the boot order in the BIOS, cloned the drive to the SSD and made the switch. Everything seemed to be working great.
However after booting up Witcher 3 I immediately noticed a huge performance drop. Suddenly instead of unwavering 60fps it was dropping erratically between 60 and the low 40's, and stuttering constantly. Just choppy, stuttery, occasional freezes, and even standing still the framerate would flicker between 60 ad 59 constantly.
Tried to boot up GTA 5 and the same thing, horrible performance, stuttering and framerate drops. Some of the far less demanding games were running fine but even they had occasional stutters that were never present before.
I tried using Display Driver Uninstaller to completely remove the nvidia drivers, and reinstalled. Same issue. Tried uninstalling and rollng back to an older driver, same issue if not worse. I cannot figure this out. The only thing I did was install the SSD. It shouldnt affect my graphics card. Plus my games arent even stored on the ssd or the drive I replaced, they are on a completely separate drive that had nothing to do with this. I also tried defragging, all of my drives (except the new SSD) just to rule that out. They are totally defragged and still the performance is abyssmal.
I have no idea what I did or how to fix this. Tried troubleshooting for hours yesterday. Anyone have any ideas what the issue is or how to figure it out? Any help would be so much appreciated

. I actually have them stored on my 6tb drive, though I'm only using a little over 1tb. I suppose I ought to do a little house cleaning and get rid of a few. My steam folder for instance is probably too big to transfer over and still leave plenty of room for OS eventualities.
