I recently built a pc and I have noticed that I play CSGO and minecraft with a solid 60 fps+ but i notice random moments where the game seems to pause or lag even though the fps doesn't drop. I haven't noticed any stuttering in higher graphical game though like MGS 5 though.

Specs
I5 4690k @ 3.5ghz'
Evga gtx 970
Asrock z97 anniversary mobo
evga supernova 750 watt power supply
8 gbs of g skill ripjaws ram (2x4 sticks)
cooler master hyper 212 evo
windows 8.1
driver version 359.00
1080p 60hz monitor

Is v-sync on? Those get are so simple graphically, you are actually seeing 200fps+ with a 970. I'd use the included GeForce Experience and optimize usage for those games. GE has a bunch of settings not included in game that'll put the card to work instead of having it spin tires.

Yes v-sync is on and I just optimized csgo. Seems to have no stutters so far but i'll get back to you if there is. Also one more question is it usual for a 970 card to get coil whine with out v-sync on? Thanks.

^ what he said. You're probably running much higher FPS than your monitor can handle so to say... let me guess, you are using a 60 hz monitor? I run a 60 hz monitor and i get the same sort of problems, it can be fixed with vertical sync, but vsync gives input lag, so your best option is to go with a higher refresh rate monitor

The 970 is capable of rendering in a higher resolution, like 2k,or even 4k, then downgrading to 1080p before exiting to the monitor. This has the affect of putting the brakes on the fps, while making for a much crisper picture. This isn't a setting you'll find in any game because games don't dictate how a gpu works, just what it's output needs to be. If you can jack up the settings, resolution, Anti-Aliasing high enough, your fps will drop to a level that the 60Hz monitor can deal with. Conversely, what you can also do is use the gpu software like Asus tweak or msi Afterburner or Evga precision to set a very low power profile like clock speeds 1/2 of what they can be, for use with these games. Basically making a gtx960 out of a 970. This'll balance out the performance and slow down fps. It's generally referred to as underclocking.
