Over the past few years I have had a lot of stuttering on mostly open world games, however I have not been able to determine the cause. Some good examples of games I have stuttering on include Trailmakers, Jurassic World Evolution, and Ark Survival Evolved. For most of these games, the stuttering shouldn't be a result of my PC's limitations. My specs are as follows:
Operating System: Windows 10
Motherboard: PC Mate z97
RAM: Trident G.Skill 16gb DDR3 @ 2400mhz
CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6gb
HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200rpm 32mb cache
PSU: Seasonic s12 650w 80 plus gold.
As a side note I also get stuttering whenever loading new areas and such on certain games like Terraria. Terraria also stutters for a brief moment whenever I hit an enemy for the first time after launch of the game or if I'm traveling fast across the world it micro stutters quite a bit. With that being said, this is a problem that has persisted through tons of hardware changes made to my computer over the years. The only constant in my computer throughout those changes has been the HDD, which leads me to believe its an HDD problem, though all diagnostics I have used show that its in good condition. My hard drive is about 4 years old now, so maybe it is time to get a new one.
