there seems to be a lot of discussion around the internet thing.. klo, does this happen on any single player games? does this happen when running a game benchmark like one of the unigine products?
if it doesn't then you've pinpointed the issue, if it does than I don't know why there is so much discussion about it.
when weird things happen it could be something like ESD damage during the build process.
you can try one stick of RAM in a different DIMM, switching them out to test both. you could run a memtest. move GPU to another slot, same for any drives. do you have another drive in there? check for firmware updates on SSD.. reset BIOS to defaults (I guess you've done this/checked things).
reinstall windows after that IMO and try again even though you've done that kind of thing.. have you tried letting windows install all your drivers including the GPU? if it's still happening grab the latest drivers from the net and test it again I guess, which you've basically done.
Thanks for your reply! This stutter doesn't seem to happen when playing single player games (only really tried it in elden ring) but there were no frame time spikes at all. There are no issues running benchmarks such as 3dmark/unigine heaven.
I thought originally it could have been hardware related but I've swapped almost every part at this point and it's still there. I've reset bios multiple times to different versions and still the issue still persists. All things you have mentioned I have already tried and unfortunately don't work.
I have even tried a new computer (prebuilt from bestbuy) and the issue is there. That makes me assume that the issue is either my monitor, ethernet cable, or my internet. I've tried a different monitor and the issue is there, tried on wifi/wired and still there so the only thing I can think is that it's my internet.... but my ISP tells me im crazy when I tell them the issue is them, and other people on dif forms say internet can't cause frametime issues. So I'm not sure...
