I have tried so much stuff to fix this but I never managed to
I'm open for all suggestions
It happens when I load certain area in a game and when game is autosaving
Also stutters on loading screen
It happens even in old games like Batman Arkham aslyum
Specs:GTX 1050ti
12 gb RAM
Amd x4 860k @3.7ghz(stock)
Thanks in advance!
Edit:Here is an example of stuttering
in For Honor

Well it did work when I had my old r7 360 which I swapped for GTX 1050ti year ago,before that it was all fine
I also bought a new hard drive in meantime like 10 months ago but it didn't fix the issue
@sizzling Im not sure about my hdd usage but my CPU usage wasn't above 70% (in Arkham aslyum for example) ,I'm not home but I'll check later about hdd usage
Also I run windows on SSD

Yeah I did uninstall the drivers and recently I reinstalled windows
I'll look into that ddu you were talking about since I haven't tried that
Is there any tutorial on how to do it?

I think you are experiencing cpu bottlenecking. The weaker gpu wasn't pushing your cpu as hard. So while the framerate was lower, it was fluid since you didn't had framedrops.

Also 70% cpu utilization is quite high. I reckon that at least one core is fully utilized. A possible solution would be to limit the fps your gpu is rendering using geforce experience or cpu oc.

i tried capping fps but for example if i set fps to 60 it drops to 30-40 if i set to 50 it drops to 25-35 etc
also resolution makes no difference
im installing drivers as i speak and il let u know

Don't forget to load BIOS defaults after doing the update.

If you have multiple computers you may want to test the 1050ti card on the other computer and see if it has the same problems.
Long shot but could be a thermal issue too, try running with the case open and see if that help.
Be sure to turn off any framerate monitor sync feature either in game or in the Nvidia driver panel.

Beyond that we need more info:

OS version
Make and model of your monitor
Resolution your playing at
Make and model of motherboard
BIOS version
Make and model of 1080ti card
Video driver version
What are the GPU temps when playing
Do you have more that one drive in the computer. ie: one for OS (ssd) and another drive for data and games (regular mechanical HD)

Oh, not what I envisioned for stuttering... What you are experiencing is your computer waiting on loading game data from the hard drive. Nothing to do with your Video card.

Either the speed of the hard drive is slow or the sata interface it's plugged into is slow. Try running some HD benchmarks.

How do I do that ?
Also note that I have 3 hard drives one is ssd 120 GBS where I have windows ,2tb hdd 7200 Kingston which is fast and old(2012 or older) 500 gb wd blue think it's 7200rpm
I'm running it on Kingston one which is faster than the old one and I have most games there
Could multiple hard drives affect my performance?
Should I ditch the old one?idk what do to at this point but it is annoying...
I never thought that could be the problem until now..
 


Although, I'm not disagreeing necessarily, it's doubtful the HD is causing 'in game' stuttering. Yes, the HD speed can effect load times at startup of the game, and can slow loading times between rounds/levels, but typically, the data from the HD is loaded into the system ram. The system ram is fast and feeds the CPU, which then drives the GPU.

The only time a HD can interfere with in game stuttering is if there isn't enough ram. Then the windows swap file comes into play and this most certainly can cause issues. However, with 12gbs of ram, this is unlikely. Most new games now may use more than 8gbs, but rarely more than 12gb.

To the OP, use something like HWmon/Info and run it while you have a game playing. Alt-tab out of the game and take a screenshot of HWmon. This will show is various hardware metrics, including CPU/RAM/GPU usage, voltages and temps. At the same time, open the windows task manager, click on the performance tab, and highlight your HD/SSD (which ever one your games are on). When you alt tab from the game to take a screenshot of HWMon, you can also look at your disk usage on the fly and determine if there is abnormal usage.
