Think DDR3 ram is causing me issues in games. Watch Dogs 2 and Dying Light both stuttering, managed to mostly fix by Dying Light by lowering settings but couldn't fix Watch Dogs. FPS overlay always has the games at 60+ fps staying in my 48-75hz freesync range but Watch Dogs has some really bad stuttering, which moving to SSD didn't fix. So yeah... pretty sure it's a ram issue.
Going to have to upgrade to one of the new Ryzen cpu's with DDR4 memory sooner rather than later.
Edit: Discovered my Bios settings were limiting my ram to 1333mhz, put it up to 1600mhz but didn't help at all. Then I turned off vsync in watch dogs 2 and it fixed the stuttering... Turned vsync back on and the stuttering didn't come back. No idea.
I've had other weird issues with FreeSync, State of Decay locks the game to 60hz if you have vsync on, so I turned it off and tried to limit the games fps to 74 with AMD control panel so it stayed within range, but then it did a weird thing where the game ran in slow motion, then fast forwarded to catch up... lots of strange things, so in the end had to play limited to 60hz.
If there's a better way to limit the fps for FreeSync without using VSync let me know, but from what I've read you're meant to use it with VSync enabled in game.
