Game stuttering

In Bios I have graphics adapter set to PCIe, and in device manager under display adapter there is only my graphics card. Anywhere else I need to look?

Well then I don't know what it is then. The most annoying stutter is when I shoot and it stutters it puts me off and makes it harder to aim. But yesterday when it kicked me off my game because of out of memory, it didn't stutter at all for a couple of mins so I thought it would be this. I guess we've hit the wall again.

Make sure graphics is set to PEG (PCIe Graphics), set the integrated graphics share memory as low as possible, and set IGD Multi-Monitor to Disabled. Most boards have a way to actually turn off the onboard graphics, but I don't see one in your manual.
What I'm trying to do is make sure the motherboard isn't reserving x amount of RAM to the onboard graphics of your CPU.

This is exactly what it is set to.

The thing I don’t understand is on my old pc, when I was testing RAM and pulled out two sticks so I had 8gb left, it was kicking me out of blackops4 because of out of memory, while my friend with 8gb played perfectly fine? Unless it was the in game settings that did it then

I know at one point we had the exact settings, he had 8gb ram and I had 16, I got stutter and he didn’t ....
I’m not sure if I had those settings while I was testing with 8gb ram though

I see your other thread about a wireless adapter, got me thinking, do you have anything else plugged into the PCIe lanes or PC in general that isn't necessary?
Another culprit could be gaming peripherals software (mouse and KB) I recall Razer being terrible for that at one time.

In that thread, I think I noticed the wifi signal is coming from another house? Is that the case for the rig in question here?

No I don't. As for the adapter, that PCIe is for another computer in another house
Guys I use an ethernet cable for my PC and that other thread has nothing to do with my PC. Sorry if I confused you

I didn't think it would be that easy, but had to ask.
Well... I haven't been reading all 13 pages front to back but I skimmed over them and RAM was touched on but a crucial element I think was not looked at.
Is this RAM in single or dual channel?
If single I think you have your solution and it also mixes well with you saying you've always had the stutter irrespective of driver/game except during very low load scenario's it is gone.
So, time to whip out that motherboard manual and check what slots you are populating with the 2x8GB.
One other direction you could look at is monitor refresh versus FPS. When the two don't align, microstutter will happen simply because you're out of sync. And with 90 FPS PUBG on a 144hz monitor, this is likely. Can you fix it? No. But lowering settings to get stable, close to refresh FPS numbers is going to help alot. Alternatively, you could lock at 50% of monitor refresh, 72 FPS. At least then you have a predictable frame time which will help your scores, although I know it is suboptimal for high refresh (my games feel like 30-40 FPS when I run 60 locked on a 120hz monitor).
Another alternative is described here. While aimed towards low input lag, it also deals with Vsync which is essentially what you need (because it simply represents equalized frame times) and depending on game/engine can provide awesome results:

My RAM is definately dual channel, already checked that. I've also tried that method with RTSS you mentioned, and still no results. This is just sad, why is it so hard to find this fault?! I've even downnloaded W10Privacy and disabled a load of services, still didn't help.

No I haven’t, on my previous build it suttered, I changed the parts and it still does. Something is not righ, 2/3 years ago cs:go ran perfectly for me, yesterday I installed it and had the ocassional stutters
Also, I’m not sure if that will help and I’m not certain myself, but I think CoD doesn’t stutter when I first turn it on but it takes like a minute for them to start.
