    The RAM bandwidth could be becoming saturated due to the faster card requiring more data, and consequent swapping causing stutter. To eliminate this, you could use similar settings and a frame rate limiter to compare the 970 to the RTX 2060 at similar performance levels.

    Of course, faster graphics hardware will put more strain on most components, including the CPU, PSU, hard drive etc.

    Hi all, i have found out the problem, my pc has 3 harddisk, when I remove the other HDD (no windows, only storage), my stutter problem is gone.
    although i fixed it, i dont understand what is causing the problem now, do u guys have any idea?

    Don't think it's related.

    Anyway, it's generally good idea to cap FPS to your monitor refresh rate, since your new GPU can push more frames, causing CPU to stress more to push more FPS and causing lags when it gets fully utilized or something.

    Also, SSD. Get one of those. Going from HDD to SDD was the most satisfying upgrade for everything to me.

    I had a similar issue when I moved from a 970 to a 1070, but I fixed it simply by reflashing the GPU. I don't know why that helped but it did.
