Hello, in January I completed my first PC gaming build (previously gamed on an alienware m17xr3 gaming laptop for three years). Glad to say I had no issues with coil whine or defective parts.
Onto the main issue, I have noticed that while playing BF4 that my fps go from 95-125 fps at the start of a campaign mission all the way down to 10-25 fps 10-15 minutes later, it is not occasional fps drops rather a gradual permanent decrease in frames per second. If i try to exit and restart the game, it starts at 10-20 fps. In order to even start the game at a high fps I have to immediately start the game after computer restart (for example if I browse the internet or work in excel for half an hour then play the game will also start at a low fps).
Also, while far cry 4 had no decrease in fps, I would receive an occasional windows error message saying that "my machine is running low on memory, please close programs." Graphical setting are not the culprit, I reduced setting in bf4 from ultra to low and reduced the resolution and the fps were exactly the same. There seems to be no issues regarding this in games like crysis 3 and sniper elite 3.
My system is the following, windows 7 professional 64 bit, msi 4g gtx 970 sli, asrock x99 extreme4 mobo, (4x4)16 GB ddr4 crucial ballistik ram running at 2400 mhz, samsung 850 evo 250 gb, and 1 tb wd black hdd. I did try and switch between recent nvidia graphic drivers (clean install) but the problem does not go away. I also have notice that idle system memory usage seems to increase as I use the computer more, if there is a memory leak how would I go about solving it, would I need new ram, or more (though 16 should be sufficient), or is there a software fix? thanks
