Hi, I recently bought a EVGA GTX 970 SC. The problem with it is that every few minutes on games like BF4 and Far Cry 4 I would get an fps drop down to 15-30 from around 80-100. I have tried changing the settings and it is the same on Ultra and Low settings. I have also adjusted the 3D settings in the Nvidia control panel and this has not fixed the problem. If anyone has also experienced this or has any kind of solution for this I would be extremely grateful to hear it, thanks in advance. My specs are:

CPU: AMD fx-8150 Stock clock
Cooler: Corsair H80i
Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme4
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SC
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb(4x4)
PSU: 550 watt
Storage: 128gb SSD and 1tb HDD

I have been running the performance monitor for a little longer and the CPU stays at a stable 60% now. I just reset it to the default clock and disabled AMD turbo technology and it seems to have fixed it as I haven't gotten an fps drop for a much longer than before.

Farcry 4 does this to every one with the random fps drops. I don't see a 8150 being a bottleneck for a gtx 970. I do not have much experiance with BF4 so I cannot speak on that.

instead of going. OMG THE CPU IS BOTTLENECKING AMG
try to check it first? I doubt it's a bottleneck. but just to make sure. check the load on your CPU while playing that game. if it's at 100% then yes, you are experiencing a bottleneck

I really don't think its a cpu bottleneck its a single 970. As I said farcry 4 has issues with frame rates drops.

I was just checking the usage as I played and the CPU went up to a max of 80% but I noticed that the HDD was going up to upwards of 97% so I was thinking could be that as I have the SSD as the main drive but the games are installed on the HDD.

It's possible that you are having a harddrive issue that could cause some issues but I don't think they were be that severe
