I get micro stutters in nearly every game with my rig, from the start. Even in old ass games like Sonic Generations and Skyrim.

Some games it happens A LOT, like RUST, in some games it happens occasionaly, like Overwatch and Paladins. It happens in almost every single game unless it has really low specs.

Help anyone? My full specs:

Amd Athlon X4 860K is my CPU
GPU is MSI GTX 960 3GB
No OC's right now
Windows 10 DX12

It's not my specs since I get 60+fps in almost all games on even the highest settings.
 
It is likely your specs, the AMD CPUs tend to do this in games, the GTX 960 is also a bit slow for higher end games at high settings for perfectly smooth play.

If you don't think it's the hardware, start with a clean Windows and driver setup, see if that fixes things.

It's definitely the CPU.... I resetted it twice and nothing changed, however I tried installing an Asrock update for my mobo and now it's even worse. Do you perhaps know how I can downgrade back to an older mobo version?
