Game Stutter Problems

PajamasX · 17 Dec 2015 at 17:08

Hey all I've just recently upgrade my pc:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor
MB: AMD Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
RAM: HyperX Fury (4x8GB)
GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti (Ver 359.06)
Storage: 2TB HDD TOSHIBA DT01ACA200
Display: 2560 x 1080

a lot of games I play or have tried have no problems at all with graphics and my connection is good or moderate so i've ruled that out, but I can't seem to narrow down the problem.

I get screen stutters constantly on certain games like Sniper Elite 3, Saints Row 3 & GTA V. There is no in-game lag and I'm getting 60+ fps, the screen stutters can cause lag so the screen has to catch up with the game which is running smoothly.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this please?

*Edit*
Note: I can play new games without screen stuttering E.G. Rainbow Six: Seige, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt runs without any problems & max settings. It's just certain games that has stuttering some worse than others.

I don't currently have an SSD I've ordered one but its still hasn't come yet, also how do I check the CPU load usage and monitor it?

My Hard Drive is around 1 year 4 months old, but the original PC I had it in got sent back for repairs twice (Motherboard got changed & GPU) I've had a lot of stuff transfered between it back and fourth in that time due to sending pc off for repairs.

Edit*

Had a AMD R9 280 went in for repairs and got given a R9 290 then I changed it to a MSI 980 Ti this was all within the last 3 months

Motherboard I can't remember what I had before they had to change it for this current one

Will the trial version be ok or do I need the full package?

I've done the tests on Aida64 but saved the wrong image statistics will have to rerun it and make sure I save the correct one >_<.

I've also swapped out my 980 Ti to my old GPU R9 380 and I still get stuttering which wasn't there previously 4 + months ago when I played Sniper Elite 3, seems during the time I sent it away for repairs twice something has happened to the CPU/MB or HDD as those are the only 3 components I haven't changed in this month.
