PC Issues. Lag, Stuttering, Freezing, etc

[camiscool]

Ok, here is the issue:

In any game I play, I lag extremely bad. Were talking freezing, stuttering, etc. For example in PUBG, my game will be fine just running around and looting, but if I get in a gun fight it starts to freeze and stutter. I will drop to around 5-7 fps and not be able to do anything. I have the most updated drivers, and have reinstalled games on both my SSD and HDD/switched from one to the other.

Here are screenshots of HWMonitor- https://imgur.com/gallery/hdXrQYj (had to stitch screenshots together to see everything, sorry if look weird)

Not sure if those tell anything.

Another thing I noticed in many games is that my CPU will be at 100% and my gpu will only be about 50-60%

Had this PC for around 3 years, upgraded to 1070 around 6month ago, issue started around 1 month ago

Also, in Hwmonitor it says that Intel Graphics is running along side my gpu at the same time? Could this be a problem?

Thanks so much!

well one thing that might help is more ram, 16gb is really whats needed these days in order for games to run smoothly. PUBG is a cpu intensive game and really works a quad-core i5 so you hitting a 100% doesn't surprise me. with a 1070 and the i5 you have like I said, RAM will improve your experience quite a bit. Matching kits of RAM are always preferred
