My system is 3600, 1660 ti, 16 gb ddr4 3200 ram, 860 evo ssd.

Many games seem to stutter alot,
Serious stutter:
tomb raider, bf5.
some stuttering:
metro exodus, world war z
minimum stuttering:
witcher 3, gears of war 4/5, plague tale:innocence.
no stuttering:
wolfenstein 2, battlefront 2(dx11)

I also notice that when turning dx12 to dx 11, tomb raider stuttering/screen freeze reduced to almost null, and battlefront 2 has 15~20 fps when I play it on dx12, and only get normal fps when it's running on dx11.

I don't think my set up is supposed to stutter that much,
what could cause stuttering in a(my) system?

I did a userbenchmark and I got good scores on all my components and exceed expectation except for my ssd which is on the 25th percentile, could the SSD be the problem ?
But why is it only stuttering on games selectively?

If you have any idea, I would appreciate it!

So it has been running fine for months and it started doing this recently? How full are your drives?

Sorry for not clarifying, my old system was too weak to run these games I have been playing , and for the ones that I was able to play did sometimes stutter and low fps did happen, but the stuttering was not as bad as it is now...? It was mostly just low fps.

I had a i5 3570k, 7950, seagate 3tb harddrive back then, and also 16gb rams but it was much slower (I forgot what they were).

My SSD has about 200 gb left (out of 1 tb), and hdd still have 1.5 tb left.
