I have the i9 9900k, aorus z390 motherboard,32 gb trident z ram 3000mhz,my pc running only ssd no hdds, i have the evga rtx 2080 ti ftw 3 ultra. my monitor is the asus pg348q 3440x1440,100hz, I play with g sync on. and i keep my fps capped to 97 so i can avoid stuttering. what's happening is im experiencing in game ssmall hiccups. Like let's say my fps is solid 97 and if i drop to 95 i feel a really annoying hiccup sometimes it's less and sometimes it's more. i experience it with all games. It's annoying and it's getting to level im starting to hate my system. I tried all the troubleshooting steps i know like installing DDU and clean install my nvidia drivers. I felt it helped a little but not much. What's causing this thing? I know for a fact dropping 2 fps wont feel anything. this is annoying.

    Are you getting GPU spikes/drops during gaming which creates the stuttering?  Try disabling RT (Ray Tracing) if your game(s) support it and see if it smooths out. 

    Also, what are your temps during this?

    This might be obvious, but it might be worth a check:
    Have you checked that g-sync is properly activated in Nvidia control panel?
    Also, are you playing the games fullscreen or borderless? If you activated g-sync for fullscreen only, it won't work in borderless.

    I am not sure whats going on. Fps drops in battlefield 1 and v and pubg also. like what happens is i have a solid 97 fps. all of sudden i experience this kind of hiccup. where like my game cut for 0.5 or so. and i drop 2 fps and sometimes more. But the thing is -2 fps or little bit more won't have any affect on visulas this is a very frustrating problem because i tried uninstalling drivers and fresh installing and nothing worked. like i see people dropping hella crazy in fps and it has no affect in the game.

    My guess is something in power management might be cutting off. Check Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings. Turn everything off/set to Never for Hard Disk, Sleep, PCI Express, Display, etc. and Save the profile.

    I know sometimes when I was in-game my PC would want to bring up my screensaver not detecting any inputs in Windows and that'd give me these kinds of hiccups.

    Sounds like the similar issue I've been having.  I've thought about RMAing my GPU since I've had it since it stutters during gaming and you'd think with this kind of horsepower, it shouldn't be doing it but Idk tbh.  I get stutters in BFV but it kinda went away when I turned off Ray Tracing.  I was just wowing it up and the last 30-40 mins I did two normal instance runs and I started getting spikes and fluctuations where I was averaging around 90 FPS and suddenly getting these odd spikes/stutters.  The speeds of the GPU was fluctuating I noticed too from my side widget.  Should have screen shotted the graph.  Never really experienced that before playing world of warcraft but it surely was odd.
     
    Temps aren't an issue for me since it's 42c-44c on custom cooling but in your case, it could spike to 89c being so close @ 85c.  All it takes is a few seconds to 89c or passed that for a lock up or thermal shutdown.  I remember the former Nvidia employee (Petterson I think?) saying how these chips are pretty sensitive to heat and aren't like the other generation of silicons so these chips do like to run cool.

    I feel your pain, you have a very good computer and this is annoying you. I do not have any advice for you but this stutter you say also happens to me although it is quite rare. Please post if you find a solution

    If your running X1 - save a Static fan speed high as you can stand for testing 80%+
     
    Then close X1
     
    Does the Stutter go away ?
     
    What is running in the background ?
     
    Which Nvidia Driver have you tested ?
     
    What is the full description of Win 10 your using ?
     
    XBox DVR set to Off ? (on by default - thank Microsoft)
     
    Is Windows Indexing your drive when this happens ?

    It would be really helpful if you would read the replies and answer what was asked about your Gsync settings. It sounds like you have a configuration issue. What I suggest, is go back to basic settings. Try running at your monitor's native settings.  Put the GAME menu settings so that you have no issues always staying over your native screen refresh of 100hz. In other words, always over a min of 100 FPS in game. First test without vsync (and gsync of course) then with vsync only. Leave Gsync disabled. Go back to basics.

    I had stutter in BFV and Witcher 3, switched RAM and it went away, one stick was getting errors. Took awhile to figure out it was RAM, as usually RAM faults cause a complete shutdown.

    Just a random idea, do you have a slideshow for your background?  I was getting ridiculous frame rate drops and frametime spikes a while back constantly, making things unplayable nearly in at least 3 games.  Turns out I somehow had set my desktop slideshow in the windows personalization settings from like 30 minutes or more to every minute, for two monitors.  Every time it changes the background it reloads the explorer.exe process to a degree and it was causing the issue after doing that for a period of time.  It would be fine for a bit after a reboot then within an hour start having issues.  I nearly reinstalled windows before I ran across the problem finally.

    Looks up Memtest86 or Memtest86+ (can't remember which is the newer) and run that, or I think I've read newer mobo's might have something along those lines built in.  It will thoroughly test your RAM.  You'll need to make a bootable USB/etc. with it.  It can't run in windows.  Or you can do it the less "for sure" way and start removing/swapping RAM sticks to see if it goes away when you take one of them out.

    I will also be doing the memtest as we speak via USB. 

    I should also note about my issues while playing wow, I MIGHT have had folding@home running at the same time while playing wow.    I just realized I've had it running for most of the day and can't remember if I had paused it or not during my gaming session.  (Facepalm)

    Battlefield V had stutters for any DX12 users for a while. It was like one stutter every 20 minutes or so. Not sure if they ever fixed it, but it didn't seem to happen on DX11.

    The stutters I get are during big actions scenes but probably a slight spike every 10-15 secs but the major ones happen when there's a lot of action going on and by major spikes I mean, down to 1% GPU load before it ramps up again and realize you've died for the gazillionth time because of it.

    Nonetheless, I decided to upgrade my RAM to Corsair 32GB 3200Mhz for a X99 Classified.  Now I'm worried it might not work but I'm reading if it doesn't work I'll have to play with the timings not to mention I'll have to do my CPU OC all over again and hope bigger capacity and higher Mhz RAM doesn't strain my 4+ year old IMC but improve my BFV experience since I feel my 16GB 2400Mhz RAM was holding me back.
