My specs:
Zotac GTX 1060 3GB
I7 3770 @ 3.4 GHz
2 x 4 (8) GB ram at 1333 MHz
Some Chinese 500 watts PSU
1 TB HDD
My question:
First of all. All the hardware I bought is second hand/not new. I got this PC after using my i5 1st gen laptop for about 7 years. And now I'm encountering stutter issues on some of the games. I deleted Forza Horizon 4 for the same occasional stuttering reason and nowadays I'm playing AC: Valhalla and I'm facing the same issue of occasional stuttering that drops my CPU usage from 50%-60% to 25%~ for 1-2 seconds and drops the GPU usage from 97%~ to around 10%. This happens for one second only, and typically when I'm going to a new town in AC: Valhalla / when some textures are loading. I used to think this is a problem with my HDD but a-lot of people upload gameplays whilst only using HDD and not SSD yet it does not stutter for them.
I'm willing to do any and all tests that people might require from me on my rig. Whilst I'm playing AC: Valhalla, my GPU temperature is around 73* and my CPU temperate is around 80* (with 84* being the highest). Ram usage is around 7.4 GB whilst gaming as well. Now when I close most of my background tasks / turn off Geforce shadowplay, the stuttering is undeniably a-lot less but it's still there.
Please help me out here. I'll make sure to reply to any questions ASAP
