In the years I had constant micro-stuttering in many games with my old r290, two most notable examples are the Witcher 3 and Deus Ex MK. The stuttering was constant, with the fps suddenly collapsing for an instant on random intervals of time, on these kinds of games, so the ones with highish spec requirements, even with all the settings put to a minimum, making them almost unplayable. I always thought it was my video card, a bit of an unlucky fellow, defective one way or the other, so I decided to gift myself a gtx 1080, thinking of solving the problem this way, that's not how it went.
Talking about the problem, it's evident in games with medium-high specs, so almost in all the first and third person modern games, I tried, but not, for example, in games like Thea: the awakening, Crusader Kings 2, and in general board-like games. The problem manifests itself even in the benchmark Haven, but not in 3d Mark. Other problems the PC has is that it freezes from time to time, randomly, but almost always when not doing anything resource-consuming (even more so if I not using it), at times with static sounds produced by the integrated sound card, that each time almost deafen me, and a times without.
I noticed that I mounted a ram that was a little older than the other two, a CMX4GX3M1, so I removed it to see if it was causing problems, and I also test the ram with memtest86+, the remaining rams seem to be working properly and the problem isn't solved. I also tried to see if it was a throttle caused by the energy profiles of windows, so I put the high performance one, again, to no avail.
Any idea?
