Hello!, Thanks for stopping by.
My system specification
CPU : I5-6600
GPU : GTX 1060 Gainward 6GB
RAM : DDR4 8x2 HyperX 2133 (Module Part Number : KHX2133C14/8G, Ordered from seller HX421C14FB2K2-16 Did he cheat?:O)
SSD+HDD : SanDisk 240GB, WD 1TB HDD (Page file here 16gb min,max)
MB : Asus B-150M-K
Sound Card : Xonar DGX (problem occurs even w/o it)
Game : Combat Arms (Light FPS game), did not try any additional game.
Problem Description : Game pretty randomly hangs for 450ms~ and continue as normal, might run smooth sometimes, occurs even on low settings as well, FPS generally is Stable.
Tried DDU'ing the driver, Canceling Page File/Putting it on SSD, Prime95 CPU, FurMark GPU.
HWMonitor showed voltages did not flinch (Minimum voltages drops), although I don't know how trustworthy is that report.
Stumbled upon This doc
https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/akamai/gameworks/CN/Stuttering_Analysis_EN.pdf
I'm pretty certain my answer lies somewhere inside it but it meant for developers and I found myself lost pretty quick reading thru it.
Monitoring with MSI Afterburn yielded interesting results, appears that[strike] my FPS tank on exactly 100 right before the "stutter" for about a second, and [/strike]"frametime" increase from a normal 4-5ms to 10~ ms during that "tank" period, and then comes the stutter itself which lasts around 450ms (frametime), GPU activity shows 0-1 during that period, then fps gradually get back to normal.
Some things to note,

http://prntscr.com/dnpxbm
(Second bump in "Frametime" caused by minimizing the game, not a hitch)
TL;DR - [strike]FPS tank at 100 sharp for about a second then [/strike]GPU hits 0 activity which causes the 450ms "Freeze" (lag in frametime), tested only in a game named Combat Arms.

Some things to note,
1. This is an old game, which was developed in 07' 08'.
2. There are slight decrease in some CPU core usage when the stutter happen. (Might be because it waits for the GPU to resume work so it can push more instructions? just a wild guess)
3. In the MSI+RibaTuner On Screen Display FPS is represented as D3D9, as far as I understood from the doc above that refers to Directx 9, the doc above on page 28 talks about some issue that might cause my problem on Directx 9.
4. I've opened a case in front of Nvidia, and Combat Arms.
