RAM tends to be the easiest hardware component to upgrade. Most systems contain at least one stick of 8GB RAM.

Insufficient RAM may hang up your hardware resources and cause choppiness or stuttering. RAM (Random Access Memory) is used to temporarily load files on to the memory. No amount of software troubleshooting is going to fix a hardware problem. Make sure your hardware is correct first. Gaming PCs are often upgraded, and incompatible hardware can cause strange issues (such as our famous choppiness and game stuttering issues). This guide will help you troubleshoot choppy and stuttering graphics for Windows 10. Video games’ choppy/stutter behavior can be influenced by defective hardware, improperly set settings, and missing driver updates. In some cases, it might not matter what game you play, the stutter appears every time.

Your frame rate can be high, graphics good, and computer fast, but for some reason, your games seem to stutter and are choppy for no apparent reason.
