Hey everyone, I'm having a frustrating issue with stuttering in almost all the games I play, and I could really use some advice. Here's my setup: I'm using an MSI B650M-B Pro motherboard with a Ryzen 5 7400F processor, and I have a single 16GB stick of DDR5 6400MHz RAM (got it in November, planning to upgrade to dual-channel but prices skyrocketed). The cooling is managed by a Deepcool AK400, and I have an RTX 5060 graphics card along with two 1TB SSDs (one NVMe and one SATA). My power supply is a Corsair 750W.
I've ruled out thermal throttling; everything's functioning well. I tried capping the FPS at 120, but that didn't resolve the performance issues. For context, I'm experiencing stuttering in several games like Planet Crafter, Until Dawn, Battlefield 6, Warzone, and Split Fiction, but some games like Days Gone and Path of Exile run just fine. Any insights or suggestions would be immensely appreciated!

Also, what version of Windows are you using? I had to downgrade mine because the newer updates were causing all sorts of performance issues. There might be something affecting your FPS that could be related to that.
Have you tried adjusting the texture settings down? Lowering the texture quality can sometimes help alleviate stuttering. It might not look as great, but it can improve your frame rates.
It sounds like your single-channel memory could be causing some troubles. Having only one stick of RAM can really impact performance, especially in memory-hungry games. You might want to consider upgrading to dual-channel for better stability and smoother gameplay.
You also mentioned 8GB of VRAM on your graphics card, which could be limiting too. Going with lower resolution and textures might be a quick way to test if your frame rate improves at all.
I hear you! Single-channel RAM can be a big bottleneck. You might also want to check what other apps you have running in the background since they can eat up RAM as well. Some games like Battlefield 6 can use a ton of memory, and if your system is low on available RAM, it can lead to stuttering.
