Any chance your ISP is throttling your speeds? Or just an issue with the modem, like settings or something?

Any chance your ISP is throttling your speeds? Or just an issue with the modem, like settings or something?
I don't know who your ISP is or any service details, obviously, but I was wondering if extended moderate to high bandwidth usage triggers the ISP's servers or the modem to slow traffic from the IP. For the modem, some modems have settings that allow prioritizing traffic for certain programs, like games. Useful if your internet connection is like mine-5 Mbps DSL. It doesn't take much background traffic to to start screwing with my gaming.
I don't know if this would help or offer any insight, but I used TCP Optimizer with XP and early versions of Windows 7 with results ranging from good to nothing noticeable. With all the bases we're covering on your problem I thought it might be worthwhile to look upstream from your computer. Process of elimination, if nothing else.

Have you tried doing some 3D benchmarks like 3DMark or Superposition?
They're 3D benchmarks, if your setup runs them just fine then maybe it's something you can fix
I'm really just wondering if a normal stutter here and there, like other users see as normal, you are seeing as a problem?
The vid you posted earlier didn't look like it was an issue. I am also getting an occasional 'hitch' in the games you mention, but no constant stuttering.
If you change the entire hardware, it would point at software no ? Have you updated the EVO firmware by any chance, i remember older versions having issues (notably the 840), you had to use Samsung Magician to fix it.
Also, have we troubleshooted GPU drivers (try installing older ones to see if the stutter is still there) ? Did you reset the games options when you changed everything ? some games make a list of your hardware and ask if you want to change to default values when you change something (most notably World of Warcraft and OpenGL games), noticed anything different there ?
TL;DR all of it, the last few pages only, but anyone else on your internet? if no disregard. But it might still be your internet, but not the internet itself, just the pages you have opened especially if you have an auto-refresh enabled to stay updated on something. It could also be any pages you have opened have auto-update in the coding and even when minimized are still trying to update, which woudl interrupt CPU usage just enough to cause a stutter. and if it's something that happens regularly then it's something on a timer or something within the OS itself.
I had this happen in a completely different game, an MMORPG, started playing and things where fine at first and as I got more into it I started doing more research in the game-play down time where I would open a web-page on my second monitor. It wasn't as bad in the beginning but as the game got larger and more updates the slight interruption in CPU usage started to make a more noticeable stutter, took me forever to narrow it down to a web-page I had opened with an auto refresh browser extension enabled to stay updated. Of course it could be anything, but it's a thought, and Firefox using 12Mb of data could also be a slight strain on the system, doubtful though.
I don't understand how you can change your entire PC and still have the issue......... doesn't make much sense.
Use Samsung Magician and check the firmware, the 840 had speed issues, might translate to hiccups/stuttering during gameplay ?
Yep, try and tell us if anything changes [emoji4]
Read my post above, it still does.
