I'm at the stage where I think my game stuttering may be down to my card...
A couple of weeks ago I started getting game stuttering and a random system restarts. No changes were made to my computer prior to this.
The minidump etc files were reported to be probable general driver issues possibly graphics. So at this stage I upgraded to the latest NVidia GeForce drivers with using DDU beforehand, still no joy. All temps on CPU and Graphics were and has always been fine, CPU bios is up to date. So I bit the bullet and did a fresh Windows 10 install, still no joy. If I add a little OC on precision X - gpu offset by 100mhz my computer also now freezes.

    Is there any chance you have another psu you could try out for a few days? Sometimes you'll experience that type of behavior if your psu is starting to be on it's way out.
     
    Just a thought, it could very well just be your card.

    How old is your psu? Have you tried running the card in debug mode (#3)?

    Unfortunately I don't have another psu to hand.

    My psu is about 7 months old, I have tried the debug mode but it still happens. Not sure where or what to try next? Should I just go ahead and rma my card?

    Try testing the card in another computer if you can. The stuttering could be caused by having game dvr (#6) enabled.

    no other pc available to try:(
    I logged in and turned the game dvr too off as you said.
    I also just ordered a Seasonic Prime 850w to see if my psu is the issue. The reviews seem just as good as an evga p2

    I got my hands on the seasonic prime 850 and she's a beaut. But I'm still getting the random stutter. I have posted my issue with support to see if they can help. Not sure if this is relevant but I did once and only on unigine valley benchmark get a multi coloured firework display overlaid over the usual valley graphics. Whilst unusual and somewhat pretty I had to reset my pc to stop the issue.

    Not good. Does setting your in-game settings to low help stop the stutter?

    I did try that after trying the debug but it still happened. The thing is I can sometimes play a whole session without a hick up. But find myself less immersed in the game because im waiting for the stutter. Not sure if this is also relevant but my gpu clock from what's displayed on precision x, can sometimes drop down quite a bit whilst gaming or benchmarking 1455 to around 1200.
    I'm worried that I may have to rma this. I'm currently on the step up and would hate to mess that process up.
