i7-12700k, 3080ti, 32gb ram, windows 11 lately my games are acting weird, i can get really high FPS but the game will stutter all the time when a lot of things happen at once like in destiny during big fights. it stutters too much even after i put back my old card and changed everything. i cleaned my drivers and i cant think it is just specific titles because about 90 percent of them still do this even though i checked the files. temps are normal for cpu at 65-75, gpu around 70-80 but i am confused.

What do I mean? Which PSU brand and model are you using? What BIOS version is on my motherboard?

I have three extra big storage drives: one fast NVMe drive with about 500GB just to store my operating system, and two slower SSDs each holding 1TB of space to put all my games. My motherboards BIOS info is unclear, but it looks like a Corsair unit that can handle up to 1000 watts.

How much space does my SSD have? What about CPU and GPU getting hot while playing games, how much RAM is being used and how full is my SSD right now. Does it show the monitor's picture quality like resolution and refresh rate too? Is this a new game or an old one?

SSDs are almost full with about 250 GB left. The CPU is getting warm at 65 to 75 degrees, while the GPU hits 75 to 85 degrees. RAM is using only 16 out of 32 GB. During games like Destiny, Valorant, Apex, or Warzone, the SSD is barely used, around 1% to 5%. A 1440p monitor runs smoothly at 240Hz for all these games.

My PC with an i7-12700k, a 3080ti, and 32gb of RAM is acting weird lately. Even though my game frame rates look high, the screen keeps stuttering a lot when I run big games like Destiny during fights. It happened even after I put my old GPU back in, so it's not the new card. I also cleaned up my drivers but many other games still have these problems. My temps are fine on the CPU and GPU, so that is definitely not the issue. What am I missing?
