(the same issue happens in full screen and borderless. I only have it in windowed mode to show the task manager)

I've been having a very annoying issue where certain games, a majority of them, are having extreme stuttering issues while playing. Example games are Lords of the Fallen and Enshrouded. While running these games, my GPU sits at 100% utilization and my CPU is nowhere near 100%. vram doesn't seem to be an issue according to task manager. PC has been taken apart and cleaned very recently, temps are in normal ranges, and I have tried a few google solutions that have not worked (such as reinstalling my graphics drive).

Cinebench benchmarks seemed fairly normal except for GPU. I believe the GPU benchmark was around 11000

Let me know if any other information is needed.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually reinstall with the latest driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command.

Thanks for the reply. Here are all of my PC components: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qWRHmD

My I believe my psu was purchased in 2020, so it is 4 years old.

My bios version is z390 Aorus Ultra F9

I used DDU yesterday to do a clean install of my GPU drivers. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.
