This happens with every game that I play on this computer, including games that I play on emulators. This computer is one that I’m proud of, but something I notice about it is this strange stuttering issue. The issue can be recreated very consistently…

I’ll start playing a game, play for five minutes, or an hour, doesn’t matter, there’s no stuttering. If I keep the game running but I’m not actually playing it for more than ten? Fifteen minutes? For example browsing Lemmy, when I come back to the game there will be stuttering, and while the stuttering happens I can hear a kind of rumbling sound coming from the tower. The stuttering doesn’t seem to properly resolve even after long periods of playing and my current way of fixing this is to close the game and open the game again. This computer is old but I do remember this happening when it was new and I’m wondering if this is normal/what the issue is? I tried Googling this, but the results I got were about a computer stuttering in general, the issue I’m experiencing is limited to games.

Just in case, here’s my specs!

• 16 GB RAM

• Intel Core i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60 GHz

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (11 GB)

• Windows 10 64-bit

• 2 HDD’s (2 TB total space)

Thanks!
