i am getting choppy gameplay/stutter while playing most of the games though i meet the system requirements. Can anyone please help me ?

Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600 3.4Ghz 6 cores 12 threads
8GB DDR4 RAM (single stick)
MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB
B450M DS3H Motherboard
PSU VS550 Corsair

so far games getting choppy gameplay: Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered.

Get a second RAM stick identical to the one you already have. This will enable the RAM to work in dual channel - this might help a bit, but it's probably not the main cause of your issues. you should check to see if you have any programs hogging the CPU/RAM/SSD while running the games.

Single channel RAM is a problem for modern gaming. Trouble is even buying any 8gb stick of the exact same make and model does have a risk of compatibly issues. RAM is best bought in matched kits. Your best option to minimise the chance of issues is selling what you have and buy a 2x8gb 3000-3200mhz kit.

thank you both for your replies, ill get one RAM stick then.

I was thinking it might a GPU issue as 1050Ti is old now, can you please which one should I go for ? like i was thinking to upgrade my GPU to a 1660Ti or any in the same range, any recommendations ?

the 1070 is marginally quicker than the 1660ti, but should be cheaper too. If you can find a 2060 at decent price get one of those. Of course AMD are doing really good value for money gfx cards, right now like the 5600xt. Take your pick.

1660Ti and 1070 are $400 dollars here in India and 2060 is for $530, i think i might go for 1070

well it turns out, Nvidia GeForce Experience software was the one causing the choppy gameplay, one morning it wasnt working giving me some error, so i ran AC Origins and it ran perfectly.
