Recently, Nivida released a new driver on 8/30/2016. After this update, my games started to plummet down to 20-30 FPS. Games like Witcher III, Black Desert Online (JP), Metal Gear V, Dragon's Dogma Online & Skyrim had the exact same values after the update. There was also a following Windows 10 update I received the next day - hoping this would fix the issue, but unfortunately it didn't.
I decided to roll back the driver to it's previous state since my games ran around 57-60 beforehand. All the games listed above ran fine for a few hours until Black Desert started to plummet to 9 FPS. Checked the other games, and they also shot down to 9 FPS. I reinstalled the driver again (372.70) and I received the same results. 9 FPS for each game listed. I've tried numerous anti-viruses, malwarebytes, reimage repair, and still received the same issue. I then decided to take another measure.
I've tried just about everything, I think. Purchased air cans, cleaned the fans, keyboard, even purchased a air purifier. Ran a system scan and discovered corrupt files in the system. Spent about 2-3 days fixing this particular issue - due to the fact I kept receiving "call" errors every line in attempt to perform a DISM run in cmd. I finally fixed the corrupt file problem in my system with "Media Creation Tool" and I was overjoyed. I was certain this would solve my FPS issue for good, but unfortunately it did not. 9 FPS all the same.
I've called Microsoft. They want $199. Contacted Windows tech support and let them take access to my computer to look at the DISM logs, (yes I was desparate..) and they also wanted $99. It's 12:24AM right now and I'm literally biting the chewy analog sticks on my controller in frustration. I don't know what to do at this point.
Specs.
-Geforce GTX 880M
-Geforce GTX 880M
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4820K CPU @3.70GHz
-8.00GB RAM (7.92 usable )
-1920x1080, 60Hz
- Version 372.70
-Windows 10 Home.
No way I going to spend $200-$300 for FPS recovery. I'm thinking it's a driver issue of some sort.
Update: Now I get 15 FPS on a single GPU with SLI enabled 40's
