First off, here’s my specs
Mobo: Asus Prime Z390-A
Ram: 4x4gb G.Skill Ripjaws 2133mhz
CPU: i7 9700k
Cooler: NZXT Kraken x52
GPU: EVGA 1080ti ftw3
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 G3
HDD: Seagate 2tb (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148834)
SSD/boot drive: Kingston 120gb (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721107)
So about a year and a half ago I upgraded to both a 1080ti Ftw3 and a new 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor(Dell S2716DG), as well as adding 2 more sticks of RAM to make 16gb from my old gtx 970 that ran great, pretty much all games at 144fps at 1080p. And the 1080ti was awesome even with my i5 6600k which I thought would bottleneck, but it didn't and I had smooth gameplay all up until that summer. I have literally no clue what happened. I added a second monitor (the same one as before for a dual 1440p setup) and that’s it. All of my games now have these small hitches or stutters that will occur at any frame cap or frame rate. Even limited at 60fps or 30fps it will drop just under to like 57fps or 28fps and freeze up the game for a second then go right back to the frame cap/the normal fps. I feel like I have tried absolutely everything up to this point and am completely dumbfounded.

- RMAed my 1080ti
- DDUed graphics drivers/and just reinstalled drivers in general
- Pretty much every single windows optimization/tweak imaginable
- Reset all overclocks to stock

- Tried unplugging all of my front USBs
- Tested using only my original monitor, no change.
- Looked through all utilization charts, no glaring spikes or drops
