I'm running a GTX 970 and an i7 6700, my fps is high at 40. However, the stuttering on multiplayer is absolutely RIDICULOUS, making it absolutely unplayable. My game would freeze for seconds at a time and this happens very often. I hear this can be solved by getting an SSD, but I can't get one right now. Is there any way I can fix this without getting an SSD?

I'm running a GTX 970 with an i7 6700 (no k), and I'm getting around 40 fps along with occasional stutters on ultra settings on singleplayer. Is this performance what I should be getting for my specs? If not, what's wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? I have a standard HDD 1tb hard drive if that helps.
