So recently I’ve been having ridiculous amounts of stuttering during gaming. I have a RTX 2080. I know very little about computer stuff so try and bear with me.
I’ve kept my GPU drivers up to date firstly and my pc is less than 9 months old too.
Based on what I've bolded - I updated to the newest Nvidia driver and it caused really bad stutter in Fortnite, so I clean uninstalled it and went back to driver 431.60.
Noted that you've done a clean Windows install but you're probably using the exact same new Nvidia driver? Could be the cause here.
what about your psu, gpu issues can be caused by a failing psu, the gpu and cpu under high load will pull a lot of amps and if your psu isnt up to par that can casue issues, also i didnt get your full spec of your pc, could you list it?
Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor
Kolink Core Series 600W 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
GeForce RTX 2080 AMP Edition 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Gigabyte 256GB M.2 PCIe x2 NVMe SSD/Solid State Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 7200RPM
Gigabyte Z390 UD Intel Z390 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
dam a spec like that should have no issues at all, i'm looking online to see what the output of the psu is, do you have any kind of overclock on the cpu or gpu?
Edit: looks like that psu has a max 12v capacity of 480w at 40 amps which is a tad low for a 2080, pair this with your 9700k and i think you may not have enough headroom in some games, dont forget some games will put max load on compponets, so the issue you have is in certain titles, other seem fiine as the load isnt as high, i would have a look at a 750w gold rated unit
PSU needs to be replaced asap, last thing you want is for it to take out or damage other components.

I would say so, remember it provides power to all your components, how much would it cost you if a cheap psu took out your mobo / cpu / graphics card / ram / hdd?

Most definitely, that PSU needs to go.Haha ok I’ll take that overall verdict as the psu has got to go.
