Hello everyone, I am here today to try to fix this issue I have been having with my system. At first i thought these fps drops were a BF4 thing, but surprisingly it was every game I played! Lets start out by explaining the issue. Ill be playing a game and randomly the fps drops to 30 or less and shoots right back up. In afterburner I noticed when the fps drops happen my GPU usage drops to like 40% when it was just at 99-100%. These issues happen on every graphical setting. I contacted the makers of my GPU and they said it was fine and it didn't qualify for a refund.

*THINGS I HAVE TRIED*
-unparking CPU cores
-reinstalling directX
-reinstalling the games
-lowered graphics settings in game(notice i still get fps drops on all qualities)
-reinstalling punk-buster)
-using custom cfg files for certain games
-disabling Nvidia audio driver
-reinstalling latest drivers for video card
-trying older drivers
-testing RAM(passed)
-checked temps on all hardware(which were all fine, no sign of overheating)
-reinstalling the operating system (did this three times -.-)
-updated bios
-defragmented HDD

*MY SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS*
- Zotac Nvidia GTX 770 2gb
-Intel I5- 4670k @ 3.4 ghz with turbo boost (with corsair h60 water cooling)
-16 Gb corsair vengeance ram
-2 TB Western Digital Black
-1050w XFX power supply unit(modular)
- Asus Z87-A motherboard
-and case fans aswell as other accessories like lights

Overall this computer is fairly new, it was purchased in September and shouldn't have these problems at all. I've tried everything and I really cant pinpoint the issue.

Any help would be awesome, Thank you all :D

It sounds like your graphics card is overheating and is throttling itself down to reduce its temperature. Have you monitored the temperature of the card during these spikes?

The manufacturers said it is not heat related. If i remember the max temp i got on my GPU under the stress test "furmark" was 72 degrees celcius but when i play the gpu temp doesnt go over 66. I have also monitored the temps if that was your original question. for example i was playing league of legends and my gpu temp didnt go past 52 degrees celcius yet fps drops still occur from time to time in that game
