I have a really weird problem with my computer that I would like some help with. Its home-built, and meant for gaming. However, on quite a few games, from Minecraft to Battlefield 4, I get this fps cap at 11 fps. I've tried disabling vsync, but to no avail.
However, at random points, it can fix itself. It jumps from a cap at 11 to a cap at 120 or so. Additionally, sometimes, if I "optimize" the game in Nvidia Experience, it fixes it as well. For example, in Battlefield 4, I could be getting 11 fps at low settings, and after optimizing, it jumps up to 90 fps on Ultra settings. But, it seems to revert back to 11 after a reboot.
Any help is appreciated, even if it is just speculation.
System Specs :
i5-4670k @ 4.0ghz (watercooled)
Nvidia Geforce Gtx 760
16gb Ram
Msi z87 g45 motherboard
Windows 7
EDIT: (SOLUTION) I finally got it working 2 days ago, but within all the excitement, I forgot to let you know. It turned out to be one of the most simple things. I just did a clean boot, with nothing running besides the necessary stuff, and well it worked. I slowly started adding the remaining programs that I typically used every day, and now my computer feels completely new. I have faster boot times, cleaner games, and just overall a better experience. Thank you for your assistance in helping me through this. Hope it helps!
