Maybe it sounds overdramatic but if the point of a computer is to play games (and I did spend a lot of money for it) and it stutters consistently to the point that the "80" FPS I'm getting looks worse than a consistent 30, then yeah, I'm going to do something about it. And since the simplest way was wiping the system and reinstalling, then going for linux at least at first makes sense.
Maybe I wasn't clear in the OP but it was not a bit of stuttering: I could go to certain areas in game and get consistent stuttering and frametime problems, which is worse than just lowered but consistent FPS.
