Hey everyone! I've been having some frustrating micro stuttering issues while playing Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders with my Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 5070. Most of the time, BF6 runs decently, but on smaller maps, my frame rate drops from around 120fps (in larger maps) to about 80fps, which feels really choppy and isn't smooth at all. The CPU usage hits around 120% on Steam's performance overlay, and my GPU is consistently at about 95% usage.
As for Arc Raiders, I'm getting significant stutters when loading into a raid and also experience little micro stutters during gameplay. Just to note, I currently have 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM (2x8GB), and I'm considering upgrading to a 32GB kit when I switch to AM5 next year, so I wasn't eager to invest in new RAM just yet. Any advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It sounds like your RAM might be too low for modern gaming; if it's consistently close to 16GB usage, that could definitely cause stuttering. Make sure to check if your game settings are pushing it too hard. If your games support Nvidia Reflex, turn it on! It helps reduce input latency. Otherwise, try capping your FPS in those games to help smooth things out.
Yeah, I usually run around 14.2GB out of 15.9GB and I've capped it to 120fps in BF6 and 100 in Arc. Reflex is enabled on both, so hopefully that’ll help!
