I have recently been getting very low fps on most of the games that I play but I cant figure out why. When I run games like GTA V, War Thunder, Rocket League etc... I used to get 60 fps+ in all the games but now I barely get 15 fps in them but if I run a game like zero G arena I get well over 60 fps which is what it used to run at.
The issue seems to be with the utilization of my graphics card. When I run games like War Thunder and Rocket League MSI after burner says my graphics card is only running at about 20% utilization and is not reaching its max power or core clock, but when I run zero G arena it reaches its max core clock and utilization. I have also tried to run furmark an it also reaches max utilization.
I have tried reinstalling my graphics card drivers but that didn't fix the fps issue, so I tried to install an older driver which worked for a bit but when I opened the game later it had the same problem.
I thought it might be a problem with with my hard drive as all my games are installed on it and zero G arena is installed on my SSD so I moved it onto my HDD and tried it but it still ran fine.
I have also tried removing some of my ram to see if that was the problem but it didnt change anything.
Other things I've tried:
-Made sure my PC is on high performance mode
-Made sure that my monitor is plugged into my GPU
-Checked the temps of my CPU and GPU which are running at their normal temps
-Lowered the quality settings of the games but that still doesn't improve the fps by much (Only a 5 ish fps increase)
-Ran Malwarebytes to check for malware
I have tried every thing I can think of and have no clue how to fix this so any advice would be really appreciated
