I've been running a vanilla 2070 since they came out...and for at least the last year I've had stuttering issues. So bad I searched high and wide for help, made countless changes to my startup, even thought about flashing my card, swapped out EVERYTHING to include new mobo, new ram, new chip, etc. I just figured the first-gen 2070's were at fault. 

I looked into AMD and signed up for the 3080's (still on the wait list) and figured I'd just have to deal with it.  About a few weeks ago I went through a particular bad stutter that caused me to screw up (badly) in the new VoG raid in Destiny 2 and I'd had it. So I started venting in another forum post and watched my screen refresh in the background...I went from one background pic to another. I noticed a mouse stutter...and almost threw up...
 
...my 4k background screen pictures, that were changing every few minutes, were causing the stutter. 
 
...and I've run PC support for a major federal agency, I ran BAE's North American Service Desk...
 
...background pics...more than a year
 
pffft

    Sounds like a faster drive is in order

    But you did figure it out!  Fantastic! 
     
    And thanks much for sharing, too - 'little' nuggets like these remind how we need to look for even the subtlest of occurrences that can have all kinds of aggravating impacts.  Your particular issue has me thinking of regular intervals...

    Funny you should say...I replaced my SSD's w/faster SSD's (870-980) and it didn't make a difference...the processing required to load those 4K pics would give me a solid 50-70% drop in fps for a 1/2 second or so.    I went from an i7 8700 to an i7-10700K.   I went from 3200 16GB to 3600 32GB ram (faster timings too).  I replaced everything in my pc except the case, the video card and my water loop. I even went w/better riser card (so when I get a 30-series card I won't get a fireball). When I turned off the background changing every min or so...all the stuttering went away. 
     
    I just realized I joined here back in 2007...getting old sucks at times...

    Wowza - are they pulled from the same drive from which your games are also loaded? If so, swapping the pictures to another SSD may help.
     
    If they aren't, then it's definitely a CPU/OS thing. More cores or maybe tweaking what cores can do what with a program like Project Lasso might help.
     
    But, the easiest course you've already found (turning off the background picture change). I wonder if there's a way to write a batch/script for enabling and disabling it, and keeping the shortcuts on the desktop for ease of swapping before and after gaming?

    My god this actually made me laugh a little bit to myself! Hopefully you got all those feds you worked for with 4k images on their desktops and they are having mysterious stuttering problems as well. Difference being that they will never be able to figure out why their systems are bogged down like that.

    I used to post a lot back then but I guess they didn't grandfather that site. I have some of the earliest GTX cards from evga back then.
