CrystalDiskMark is the one im thinking about! Thank you.

I dont think its because of background programs. I can reboot the PC and once it loads into desktop, ill reboot again and it'll be the same thing. 
Right when I load onto the desktop, Im at around 9% or less ram usage. 

Might be then... I'm really hoping and really praying its the motherboard and only the motherboard haha.

But here's my CrystalDiskMark scores on a 65% full Samsung 850 EVO SSD. CrystalDiskInfo shows a 100% SMART data health.
Seems to be fine... 
I'm gonna run a clean boot and restart with a clean boot, see if it is a background program or anything.

How does the system reboot with only mouse, keyboard & main os drive connected?

Although... I honestly don't remember it always being this slow... I think I remembered it being slow periodically but not always this slow.

Yes! I apologize for the late response.

I went and installed BF4 onto a different SSD. Tested my 1440P 144hz Gsync monitor and my regular 1080P 60hz monitor.
There may have been a slight improvement, but Im going to need to install BF1 just to make sure.

1) 1440P 144hz Vsync ON Gsync OFF = smooth gameplay, it was rather smooth, I didn't really notice any stuttering. Although I noticed some really faint strange lines horizontally that would appear every once and a while when Im running around. It looks like screen tear blurr lines, but it wasnt screen tear.
2) 1440P 144hz Vsync OFF Gsync OFF = Noticeable screen tear, even if FPS was capped at 144 or 143. Gameplay was not smooth, I believe there was a combination of stutter and screen tear.

Now, 1080P is a bit more difficult to diagnose honestly because Im a bit used to 144hz, 
3) 1080P 60hz Vsync ON, Smooth to an extent, but it may have exhibited a little bit of stuttering, honestly its really hard to tell going from 144hz to 60hz.
4) 1080P 60hz Vsync OFF, extreme amounts of screen tear, screen was tearing horizontally essentially everywhere, It was honestly quite difficult to tell if it was stuttering or if it was just the screen tearing literally every 0.75". But I believe there was a combination of screen tear and stuttering.

Next ill be installing BF1 on my SSD and ill let you know how it plays out, I did most of my testing on BF1 since it couldn't push a complete 144FPS. Ive also been playing the game more, so ill be able to notice the difference more easily.

Thanks ive read that already, I actually left a comment on that thread yesterday haha.

But Sajin, I installed BF1 on my other SSD as well, no difference. Vsync off, Gsync off, stuttering +  screen tear. Vsync on, Gsync off, stuttering.

So what about Vsync on in the game profiles only in NVCPL (not in the "in-game" settings of the games), and Gsync on??  Make any difference?

Earlier in the thread he said it didn't make a difference.

Made an observation, stuttering is definitely worse on multiplayer. Its really subtle - non existent in single player. 
100 FPS in singleplayer is pretty smooth, in multiplayer its pretty stuttery.

Im changing to a different ISP soon so that'll clear up if its internet 

Was this issue ever resolved? I have the same issue to the letter as well as identical specs
