Question Minor but consistent stuttering in games

[Gyoung123]

I've noticed a small issue with my PC which , whilst not terrible, is a bit annoying. While playing games, e.g. classic world of warcraft, which is pretty easy to run, I get occasional micro-sutters and the FPS will drop from ~140 to u ~110. I'm not even sure where to start with this issue so apologies I haven't tried much myself yet. Temps etc. all look normal. I did run Memtest not too long ago and it didn't throw up any issues. I've attached a video to help.

It happens once when looting the spider and again when moving my camera around.

The video wasn't the best example I could find, but whenever recording it seemed not to want to do it as frequently/as intensely.

See if this suggestion helps;

but the thread is an interesting read.

My question is, is this issue confined to just WoW?

Addons can cause problems, if not up to date, but highly fluctuating FPS, in WoW, is not uncommon, especially in outdoor settings. What settings are you running?

It looks like disabling some addons has helped. To be honest, it wasn't a problem I thought was confined to WoW, but I'm struggling to get some examples of it happening on games like Jedi Survivor and Black myth Wukong right now so I might have to monitor a bit more and come back if I get more info. Unfortunately I can't give both of you solution 🙁 As I deleted cache and edited addons. But thank you for responding
