Frame stuttering in all games with a pc that can more than handle the games

[wagnermatt53]

Dark souls remastered, fortnite BR, dark souls 3, and wizard of legend all having some sort of an issue. Dark souls remastered and wizard of legend have an issue where the game slightly stutters. Tried the game at a friends house on his steam link and it did the same thing. When we launched dark souls remastered on his pc it was fine. In fortnite BR whenever I land tilted towers my frames drop to about 70. Now I'm also getting frame stutters in this. Normally this game ran at a solid 144 frames. Now wizard of legend and dark souls remastered seem to be having issues as well with other people. A lot of people are reporting a same issue with an nvidia card and windows 10. I'm starting to wonder if I should roll back to windows 8.1 or even buy a new amd card. Thank you for any and all suggestions.

What I've tried:

Reinstalling newest windows update

installing an old nvidia driver

Changing gpu slots on my motherboard

checking for processor updates

assuring all cables were connected properly

Removing all ram and replacing it with some older ram

Changing nvidia settings

Reinstalling windows 10 updates

Specs:

Intel core i7-4790 3.6 hz

GTX MSI 1070

Having a higher framerate then your monitor can cause frame stuttering and there is also an option called v-sync (vertical sync) located in the NVIDEA 3d settings panel, you can try disabling that and see if the stuttering stops. If not, the last option i can give you is to cap your frames to your monitors refresh rate, (e.g if its 60hz, then cap it to 60fps.) If the problem persists, try going into control panel/uninstall apps and uninstall your 3d driver and nvidea geforce experience then download geforce experience again via the internet and reinstall your driver again.

My monitor is 144hz refresh rate. I've tried completely uninstalling my drivers with DDU (display driver uninstaller) and reinstalling it. I've tried older versions of the driver as well. I've got fornite fps capped at 144 and with vsync on. I've tried it both on and off in game and I've tried enabling and disabling it as well in the nvidia control panel.

I'm not sure if its related to your issue but this solution is gold in general I found it on anther thread. Download RAMmap from Microsoft and run it. Once your in go to the "empty" tab up the top and press "empty standby list" only solution which actually solved my stuttering and fps issues in all games consistently.
