Micro Stuttering (In most games, can anyone please help?)

Have you tried down clocking your video card slightly?

Is it a pre-overclocked model?

You say you have a 600w psu, but what make is it?

Do you have access to another video card you can try?

Whats a good suitable cooler for my graphics card which is preferable cheap but up to the job, maybe that could be why? I'm currently only using x4 fans mounted on my case + the graphics card and processor fans as coolers, could that cause it?

What are the temps of the card, idle and load?

Don't forget to try lowering the clocks slightly.

Edit : ahh, sorry. Didn't see the temps listed above. Temps are fine.

Possibly your card throttling at 75 degrees if you don't use 3rd party software to raise the temp target and adjust your fan profile.

Hmmm.......wooo what's your temps on your cpu? I'm not sure if its a graphics card issue; if your cpu is dropping form 3.9 down to something else before going back up to 3.9 could be causing the stutting; do you have speed step on? maybe try turned with turbo off; and then turbo on....and then maybe oc to 3.9

CPU temps are between 50-60 on all cores, when not in game thy drop to between 32-40.

Installed afterburner and set my temp limiter from 80 to 100, but now my graphics card hits 85-90 after about 5-10mins in the game, whats a dangerous temp for the card?

Settings in Afterburner are;

Core (greyed out)
Power Limit 100
Temp Limit 100
Core Clock 0
Memory Clock 0
Fan Speed auto (27 idle, 60 when in game)

I'll add that the GPU load hasnt ever gone past 67% when im in GTA V on the normal settings for everything, and i have vsync set to 59hz (my monitos refresh rate). The only game i don't have any microstutter on is FIFA 15, fully maxed out, and also GRID Autosport is fine too.

Here's the GPU Temp & Fan Speed during gameplay, it more or less stays around the same stats throughout. It smells kind of plasticy, and its very loud, but that smell may be because its new?

Am i pushing it too much here?

I had micro stutter when I accidently changed the mouse settings to windows. Well I think it was micro stutter. Set back to direct input and back to being smooth. Raw is fine too.

Here is my suggestion. Check if windows is on high performance in the power options. If not try it. That's in the control panel

Also is it possible this is a mouse issue? Try a USB2 port rather than usb3. Move your keyboard too. A wild shot I know.
