bottlenecked cpu. I once upon a time had a 7100. 2 cores just doesnt do it anymore.

Just use swear words, it usually does wonders for overcoming stuttering ...

Is this with a new system or a system that used to work fine and now suddenly it stutters?

Same system, just a new GPU.

Then I would say something is faulty with the card as you should see a slight improvement.

As I said, it doesn't even happen with all games.
Games like Rocket League, CSGO, Svoboda 1945, Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy and Lethal League Blaze work just fine.
But when it comes to more "higher intensity" games so to speak, like Serious Sam 4, Forza Horizon 4 (Where my CPU qualifies under the minimum requirements for both btw), Battlefield V, and Rise of the Tomb Raider, then I get some stuttering.

And you played these same games on your previous card you had no issues?

Rocket League, CSGO, Lethal League Blaze, Serious Sam 4, Forza Horizon 4, and Battlefield V (albeit at lower resolutions on Low with the last two) to be specific.

I still think you should swap out for another card. That's my opinion. But then again I don't have experience with AMD. That would be the only other thing I would think is an issue, the AMD drivers or support for games.

Have you put on msi afterburner yet to actually monitor in real time what is happening?
On the Vsync - definitely keep it off. It's only useful if you're getting too many frames for your monitor and screen tearing. It also introduces input lag. When you're getting less than 60fps Vsync just makes stuttering worse.

I sold the old one a while back.

Already did that a while back.

Will do.
OP, basically games that stream resources into memory real-time are the ones that are giving you issues.
You have low specs in terms of this task:
- Dual Core CPU
- Low VRAM (by today's standards)
- Low RAM (16GB is the sweet spot)
I don't know what else is running on your machine but assume that 3GB (optimistic) of that 8GB is taken. So you have 5GB of RAM.
If we try and guess what is happening, the more complex titles are swapping out resources constantly while you're playing.
They're doing this because of the memory constraint, but also, you're feeling that spike much more because of the HDD. No SSD to quickly load means these resources stream in much slower.
Lastly, what's your PSU? The above might not be the issue, but the more demanding titles might be choking your power delivery.

Ok, I installed it. Where do you check for FPS stats or whatever?
