Over the past few months I've noticed that my game will freeze (usually for 0.5 to 2 seconds) when I'm hitting or being hit by another player. I should note that this doesn't happen EVERY time I shoot someone, but it's frequent enough to be impactful. The first game it appeared in was Fortnite, so I thought it was something wrong with the game, or perhaps unreal engine. Eventually I started playing some other games like Dead By Daylight and Rust, where the same thing would happen.
Here is a video of it happening. This freeze was much longer than usual.
My idea of it being one game was proven wrong, and so was the engine-based problem, because Rust was made in Unity. So, that pretty much just leaves my hardware, which is as follows:
