i do not have any other gpu at the moment, but i guess i should try, i am afraid that it might be a hardware issue, which will make me lose my mind, because nothing has happened to it, it was all of a sudden.

Same thing has happened to me, one night it was running lots of games medium+, next it's running on low @ 1600x900. When you noticed a frame-loss, did your screen blackout? That PSU might have (possibly) damaged your GPU.

I do not think that i was playing while this was happening, i remember i played the crew on ultra with over 100 fps or minimum 80, and now i play league on around 50, the thing is that it begins with 120 fps, but as the game goes it goes as low as possible, i should talk to a specialist and hand him the p.c., but i will eventually do that as well, just need to find a good one as soon, for now, i am trying to fix it if there's anything i can do.

Hi

I have no idea why you are having this problem as I have the same card and I can run games very high-ultra at 1080p 60fps no problem.

What driver are you using and did you install it with Nvidia Experience because that program caused my GPU issues (Uninstalled it a long while back, it also eats your CPU as it constantly checks for updates even when the main application is not operating)

Could I get some more information of you about your usages in games please:
-What games have you tried?

-What is your GPU usage, temp and VRAM usage while gaming and are you vysnced while gaming or not? (You can get MSI Afterburner to monitor your computer while gaming, look it up 'How to setup MSI Afterburner' on Youtube its very easy)

-What is your CPU usages for each core and temps while gaming?

-Also how much RAM is being used while gaming as Windows 7 takes about 1GB off your RAM on standby for itself and 2015-2016 games use between 800mb-3.5gb of RAM so you may be running low on RAM in some games. The standard has been 8GB for quite a few years now and is in the requirements for nearly all AAA games now, I have 2x4GB RAM = 8GB of RAM.

We need a lot of details to figure out what the problems is.
