I didn't have a problem with my Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 4GB when I first got it near Christmas. But now since May I have been having lag spikes in every game I play, and by every game I mean EVERY GAME. I usually play League of Legends, CSGO, GTA5 and occasionally COD4. Every game I get atleast 60 FPS, but then later on it drops down to 25 and 30, then goes back up, then rinse and repeat.

I checked my temperatures and they are fine. My drivers are up-to-date, I checked MSI Afterburner and they the usage keeps going up and down, and when I check my CPU usage, it is only at about 40%. This is really bothering me so I would really like a solution.
