I have a Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1, i7-7700K @4.2GHz, MSI B250M Mortar mobo, ADATA 240GB SATA SSD, and 16 GB of Gskill ram in my rig currently. I should be very easily getting >60 FPS steadily on medium-high settings in most if not all games, yet I struggle to maintain 60 without massive stuttering in both fortnite and PUBG only(All my other games work as expected or better). I have the latest drivers as of 3/1/2018 for all of my hardware, I have the games fully updated, I have applied suggested tweaks in Nvidia Control Panel and Nvidia Inspector and yet even with FPS locked at 60 I struggle to get stable fps. At its worst i can experience stutters of up to 6 seconds which is extremely detrimental to the gameplay. There is no thermal throttling so I can't really make heads or tails of what is happening when I have these massive stutters and subsequent FPS drops. I have my windows installed on an HDD and my games on an SSD, Is it possible that if Windows is on the slower drive that it is bottlenecking these two games as a result? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

You should install your OS on the SSD and your games on the HDD. There are a few games that will see some minor benefits on an SSD, but those games are few and far between.

As for your low fps, this is not a hardware issue, but rather PUBG being very poorly optimized. Your system will not maintain 60fps on medium-high settings on PUBG with your rig. I have not played Fortnite, so I cant comment on that game's optimization. \

If you want to squeeze a little more performance, then you should consider overclocking your CPU and GPU and you may get an additional 5-10% fps.

Yeah, I don't get why the most important piece of software running all the time (your OS), is installed on the slow device...

PUBG is just slow as feeinfroggy is saying. However I don't know why you are getting stutters in fortnite.

I moved the OS and installed the games separately as recommended. While I do see faster boot times and general snappiness, I still get stutters in Fortnite. Is there a possibility of a bottleneck somewhere else?

Everything looks good from userbenchmark. I dont think there is an issue with your system. As for the "bottleneck", all that means is your weakest link. For gaming, I would say your weakest link is your GPU. You have a really nice CPU and plenty of RAM. You have a high end CPU paired with a midrange GPU. But that is okay, I would not run out and get a new GPU. Prices are way to high right now and you have a good card.

You hardware is not an issue, if you think there is a problem with running the games, then I would do a clean install of the latest driers. Use this uninstaller tool to remove all of the old drivers and start new.

The problem ended up being windows 8.1 itself. I guess it is showing it’s age now. I can hit 100-120 on high settings now using windows 10 on both games. Thanks for your help guys
