Hello Everyone!
I experience micro-stutters in most games, its not the game's engine since my friends have a smoother experience and on YouTube, people w/ the same rig have no issues.
It looks like when an area is loading or when I do a certain action, like in kingdom come deliverance, pressing E near an object every time i load that save an annoying stutter ( half a second freeze ) occurs or just randomly it seems when moving or running in those games.
Happens in:Kingdom Come Deliverance, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Far cry 5, Witcher 3 ( when first loading game its bad and then becomes occasional), The Outer Worlds, CS:GO, AC:ODYSSEY, ETC...
**Doesn't happen(for some reason) in games like Rainbow6Siege, Bf1, Divinity Original Sin 1/2, COD:Warzone
ANY help would be appreciated!
I might have missed something or maybe I could use your help to look at some of my hardware tests?
NOTE: My 2 WD hdd's are slower than should be but I moved some of the games to an SSD without getting a smoother performance..
WHAT IV'E TRIED:
*Thermals OK w/ msi afterburner
*removed NvidiaExperience
*removed Oc on GPU and Ram(XMP profile)
*updated BIOS
*Have Memory-standby Running(clears standby ram)
*used DDU on GPU and updated windows
*i tried a suggestion which makes WD hard disks not go into idle by running a code with random number every few seconds, it worked for the OP but not for me..
*Power-plan options all favor performance
*Tried turning off Gsync
*Ran Malware-bytes and windows defender separately
*Made sure through task manager that there are no secondary tasks/software running during game-play
This Is My system:
