Stutter under 60 FPS in all games.
Anytime I get under 60 fps it feels like it's missing frames and it jitters/stutters or skipping frames. I've tried disabling godrays , disabling vsync, adaptive vsync, changed my hz on my monitor to 59, 50, 30 (normally 60 hz) and a bit more possible solutions.
I have a GTX 970, i5-4690 3.50 GHz and 8 GB of RAM. I also had the same problem when I had a GTX 760.
I run Fallout 4 with everything on ultra Including godrays (I've tried lowering settings and still stutter under 60 fps)
I looked at my temperatures of my CPU and GPU while in the city of Fallout 4 which I had around 34 fps and recorded results;
CPU = 79 degrees (C) (Maximum)
GPU = 59 degrees (C) (Maximum)
I think my CPU temp is way too high. Could this be the problem?
If you could leave any suggestions on how to fix this problem it'd be appreciated.
An execption to this is South Park: Stick of Truth, which was capped at 30 fps by default and was completely smooth for me.
 
Fps below 60 and when jumping around will always feel stuttery. Ideally try and aim for a locked 60. You're settings are way too high for the gpu if you are seeing 32 in cities (the 970 can get pretty close to max in that game though)

What's your gpu usage when the frames drop? Always 100%? That CPU is too warm

Also, fallout 4 hammers the cpu and that could be causing gpu usage drops. I know I've seen 95% on mine (when I could be bothered with fallout 4...imo it's a buggy mess that looks decidedly average)
