Stuttering and skipping
every game I play I have bad graphical stuttering. It's in loading and in game so I know it's not internet. It will cause the rest of my screens to stutter so I know it's not just the game, it's definitely my pc. I had my graphics drivers crash once and crash me out of Sea of Thieves. I also had my graphics just like break when I was trying to load a game I couldn't interact with anything and windows changed resolutions, then when I finally got the game application killed my mouse was tiny in the middle of my screen and it was stuck in some invisible border like it was stuck in a different resolution than my screen and monitor were on. Well I have now replaced my graphics card and the stuttering is still happening across at least 3 different games. It's even happening So what could that be if not my graphics card? Temperatures are fine. Everything was built a couple years ago when parts were new. I can watch videos, even a 4k video, and everything seems fine. It's only in games. But it's a stutter every 5-10 seconds.
I have a Ryzen 9 5900x. AMD 6900xt though I just put in a 7800xt thinking it had to be a graphics card issue. Windows 11. Everything fully updated, drivers and software and all that. It actually started when I was using a 1080pm ultrawide monitor and has persisted through upgrading to 2 4k monitors.
Thoughts?!?

If you haven't already, do te following
1. Clean your GPU drivers with DDU in safe mode (and have it prevent Windows from installing drivers automatically), and install the newest drivers cleanly afterwards
2. Install the latest BIOS for your motherboard
3. Install the latest AMD Chipset drivers for your board
The question is how are you updating your drivers? Could be you're downloading old ones if you use the ones provided on your motherboard manufacturer's web page
You should also try monitoring your PC resources while gaming. Task Manager should be fine, but RivaTuner statistics server's overlay will tell you what may be throttling or hitching. There's also HWInfo64's Sensor window that can track resource usage and tell you the peak / average values for stuff
