Forum isn't allowing me to upload all of these images directly, but I'm having issues with my 1080 ti, I think. This issue started recently, within the last two weeks. Below is my computer, nothing (neither CPU, ram, or GPU) is overclocked/undervolted - everything is stock. 
 
Whatever is going on is making it totally impossible to play either PUBG or Heroes of the Storm.

Well, I've continued to have issues following a clean install of windows and a select few programs (PUBG & Hots), but the frame stutter seems even worse. All drivers are up to date with no programs aside from MSI afterburner & discord running in the background.
 
The card is still on stock clocks: what should my next step be? I'm not really interested in overclocking or undervolting - it should perform as it is rated to do so. Should I pursue RMA?

How would Discord, something that has run in the background and never affected my GPU performance ever before, start affecting my GPU?

What browser & is hardware acceleration turned Off ?

If this has only started within the last two weeks have you made any hardware changes or loaded any new drivers?

The only change I can think of would perhaps be NVidia drivers on 5/09.

The only reason I said to close discord is because it's known to cause stuttering...
 

Ok, I reduce Discord's priority. I'll try with low priority discord and discord completely off/exited and provide some responses later tonight.
