Hi everyone,

Recently, my GPU has been acting strange and now loads itself between 80-99% when I'm playing FSX and many other games as well. As of a result of this, I have been getting lower FPS. For example in FSX, would usually get 40-50 FPS but now I get 15-20. The lower FPS comes from the GPU coming under massive load: https://billedeupload.dk/?v=cP9Wh.png

It has usually been around 40-60%

The temps are not very high either.

I have tried setting to 'preferred maximum performance' setting in Nvidia Inspector and changing the settings but doesn't help.

I have tried updating, reinstalling and switching drivers but to no avail.

Also to note that this seems to have happened after I opened up my PC and trying to access the fan controller. Could this have come from moving or touching some cables and parts? (I am a computer noob pretty much)

Thanks in advance and any help would be much appreciated.

Dan

I have a GTX 580M that performed perfectly until I had to replace the HDD and perform a clean install of the system. Since then, I'm getting the same problem as you. My problem started about a year ago, though.

Does the problem still persist for you and what have you tried?
