About 4 weeks ago I built a pc wih these specs
Cpu-amd ryzen 1600
Gpu-gtx 1060 6gb
Ram-8gb ddr4
Hdd-1tb
Ssd-250gb
Monitor-144hz 1ms response 1080p

After about a week of pc gaming I initially started noticing my despite high framerates my gamplay would look very rough and choppy and even in some more demanding games would stutter alot as well. Lowering the setting makes no diffrence to this however turning on v sync to an fps i constantly achieve makes the stuttering slightly less occurent.I cant see to figure this out I found I had a smoother experience on the xbox one at 30fps than on pc at 70 which seems ridiculous as i even have a 144 hz monitor and so my games should be buttery smooth so can someone please help as this is very frustrating for me

90% RAM usage is pretty high and usually rises over time as you play, 8GB of DDR is not enough nowadays, I easily get 10 GB of usage on some games and a friend got 10GB even at 1080p on 7 days to die. That might be the issue. A small tweak (not fix) would be trying to set up more page files for your hard drive tho the speeds will still be lower than on RAM you might see better performance if this is indeed the issue.

If your monitor doesn't have Gsync then it can have stuttering when fps fall and on a monitor that allows up to 144 fps, this is even more obvious I assume. Look for videos on gsync and see if that's the same stuttering you get. But given your explanation that seems to be the case.

If the fps fluctuate highly around let's say 90 fps the drops will be like 120 to 70 which is 50 fps difference. If you set maximum fps or refresh rate at 90, the difference will be like 90 to 70 and thus only 20 fps difference, which obviously won't cause as much stutter as the previous.

Gsync makes your refresh rate the same as the game's output. Not only that but they synchronize them, which causes a little lag but the drops don't appear anymore (they are still there but your monitor pretends to just be 120 Hz refresh and then 70 Hz refresh). More or less.

First of all thanks for your insightful help but after looking up these videos online I believe my stuttering and rough frames to be much more severe than what was shown in the videos so I dont think this is the case

You should monitor your usage and temperatures with msi afterburner. See if anything is at 100% all the time or when the drops occur. And if your temperatures are above normal. On both CPU, GPU and used RAM.

Thanks for your help again I have tried this with cpu usage and ram usage but not yet gpu temps were quite normal and cpu usage was about 40% and ram was about 90% however I will have to test gpu out tommorow

If you do a search for stutter you'll find several people have recently had problems with stuttering on high end machines with nvidia gpus. Maybe this is a recent video driver issue? Try an older driver?
