I have a gtx 1060 (No OC 3gb gddr5)and a i3 6100 cpu with an 8gb ddr4 2133hz and a hdd 1tb blue wd drive. I get extremely weird frame stutters. A friend of mine has the exact EXACT same gpu as mine but a i5 6400 and a better motherboard and a 250gb ssd. His fps in game is fine and it matches to notebookcheck's fps stats on games. However, my fps CSGO Max settings on 1080p) is significantly lower than his and i benchmarked my computer with fire strike and i got a score 2500 points lower than the score displayed on notebookcheck. So what is affecting my game? is the entire game loaded on the ram stick and there is some other reason for frame stutters other than the slow reading from the hdd? or is it a bad cpu?

with a fire strike benchmark, i got 100% gpu usage. On the fire strike stress test, i got 94 so that means the case design is good the fan placement it good. I dont know how to monitor GPU load directly tho.
