I recently got a new gaming PC setup for playing on a Full HD monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate. While I'm achieving high frame rates in games—like 60 FPS in Elden Ring and 140 FPS in Battlefield 6—I'm experiencing noticeable stuttering and small jumps in gameplay, regardless of whether the game is old or new.
I've run a UserBenchmark test that shows my gaming setup performing at 79% for games. Here are the key specs of my system:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5060-Ti
- RAM: 2x16GB Apacer
- SSD: 1TB CT1000E100SSD8
- HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda
Everything appears to be functioning optimally and temperatures are low. I've updated my BIOS and drivers, enabled XMP, and experimented with various settings—like turning on and off hardware acceleration, removing Game Bar, testing multiple HDMI cables, and adjusting graphical settings. I even tried with V-Sync both on and off, but nothing eliminates the stuttering.
I'm really baffled and would appreciate any help! Here's a video showing what I mean: [Youtube link](https://youtu.be/FQhe7aKFgDw)

First off, make sure your games are installed on your SSD; that can help a lot with performance. Also, since you're using a 60Hz monitor, check your refresh rate settings. It should be set correctly to 60Hz. If it's off, that could lead to stuttering too.
Have you checked your BIOS? You should ensure that "Above 4G decoding" and Resizable Bar are enabled. Additionally, try lowering the polling rate on your mouse, as high rates can sometimes cause stuttering. In the NVIDIA control panel, increase the shader cache to 100GB for better performance.
It might be related to RAM performance. Although your software tests say they’re fine, bad RAM can result in poor frame times. Consider stress-testing your RAM more thoroughly to rule that out.
