Here are my PC specs. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 with a 6-core RTX 3060 Ti graphics card. My memory has 32GB of RAM on a 3200MHz DDR4 stick from an Asus B450M Plus-Gaming board, and the power supply is a Corsair CX750M. I also have two large storage drives: an NVMe SSD Samsung 840 EVO for my operating system, and a regular 2TB hard drive for saving files. My computer gets cooled with water cooling. I recently upgraded my graphics card from an NVIDIA GTX 1070 to an RTX 3060 Ti, and I doubled the RAM from 16GB to 32GB.

I have heard about Escape from Tarkov before; it is a hardcore shooter game where people often wipe save files for major updates. Before this last week's update, my PC ran smooth without any problems. But now, even with other games like the new Call of Duty, I get some minor stuttering that eventually turns into big stutters. When I play Call of Duty, these issues are not as noticeable because sometimes they never happen at all.

The problem is that when this happens, my frame rate drops and the game becomes very hard to play. I tried overclocking both the RAM (using DOOC) and the CPU in BIOS, but even with both settings turned off, it still stutters. It also doesn't get better if I try combining the two overclocks together.

I'm not sure what's going on here because my PC looks fine after upgrades. Both my memory and CPU checks pass completely. Also, neither my GPU nor my CPU gets hot or overheats at any point. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks so much, Eryk

Have you updated your drivers? Did you install new hardware recently? Can you use HWINFO to check your system temps? You should make sure your system has the right drivers for the 3060 TI card. If it doesn't uninstall properly, try DDU instead. DDU: Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.5.9 from guru3d.com Usually, you don't need to run DDU when upgrading the same hardware, but I would suggest trying it anyway.

I just put new drivers on my graphics card using the GeForce Experience app. My computer's processor stays cool at low 30s, and my GPU runs low 50s.
