Check your hardware has the latest drivers certified for windows 10.

i dont have windows 10 anymore... and i am sure it is not a driver issue... i will switch back to my old GPU to see if the problem is fixed... if it stops then it is just a faulty GPU

Does this new card have a fan and heat sink or just heat sink?

. just a heat sink thingy... idk its made out of plastic surrounding the card. but i dont think heat is the problem

If the heat sink is not properly screwed on or the thermal paste not properly applied when manufactured the card in my opinion when running hot, the stuttering of video is a indication of overheating.

Only your psu is left, the new maybe faulty, connector the graphics card is loose, try a different power connector from the new psu and connect to graphics card. If still faulty try another psu.

In power options change plan settings, click on "change advanced power settings" and navigate to "pci express" and switch off link state power management. It has made difference in gaming may be it will help.

unfortunately it did not work... still the same old stutter... i just dont get it... its not my graphics card, if it was a virus it would have gone when i re installed windows 10... now i just have to test the psu... but it was so hard getting it in i really dont want to take it out... well thatsa life... but i wouldnt think it would be the power supply. i mean like it has enough power... more than enough
