What causes the issue?
Many computer parts can cause game micro stuttering. Besides the weak CPU, RAM speed plays a role—slower memory can lead to noticeable delays. The SSD type matters too; SATA M.2 drives are slower than PCIe ones, which can affect load times. Cache details like L1, L2, L3 sizes also influence performance, as do core and thread counts. The i5-8500T has 6 cores but low clock speed and limited cache, which might contribute to the issue. Your monitor’s refresh rate isn’t a factor here, but it’s good to know for future reference. To reduce micro stutter, look for CPUs with higher clock speeds, more cores, better cache sizes, and faster memory. If you keep the GTX 1080, consider upgrading to a faster SSD or ensuring your RAM is at least DDR4-3200 or higher.
