when playing Life Is Strange the GPU usage spikes every 1/2 seconds causing stutters where the fps drops from 300 or so to about 50 and the frame freezes on the screen for a couple ms only occurs in LIS. No other games or activities. happens even if I'm on 800x600 and everything on low, fullscreen, windowed and bordeless and with/without vsync. but with lower settings comes smaller spikes but still the exact same stuttering.
I can't seem to find any other reason it'd be happening other than the spikes seen in this picture: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457659192594006018/687994106265468955/unknown.png
(first spikes are on low settings, second spikes are high settings)
