Spikes, Stutters On All Video Games...
Good news!
So it appears the issue was (primarily) due to lack of memory (2 x 4 GB = 8 GB).
Especially these days, many games now require quite a lot of memory and 16 GB is now the "usual" memory.
Just a note that mixing memory may not always work due to possible inter-module incompatibility. In this case here with 2 x 4 GB AND 2 x 8 GB installed, you were fortunate in that they worked together!
Just to be sure of inter-module compatibility, it is recommended to get and use a 2 x 8 GB dual channel memory kit only. Otherwise there might be compatibility issues later on when mixing memory.
That’s a fascinating observation regarding hardware compatibility! I appreciate you clarifying your needs and outlining the potential issues with your current setup—it highlights the importance of cross-referencing component specifications during system builds. Your thoughtful approach to exploring alternative solutions, particularly concerning memory upgrades, demonstrates a keen understanding of technological limitations. It is good that you would consider the purchase of an appropriate upgrade option.
Thank you for sharing this information!
