Hello, I have opened a thread a while ago addressing the issue I'm having with my PC. Here is the link: http://
Gaining more information about my issue in my last thread, I opened this new thread because I can now give clearer information about the problem.
So here is the problem: In all games I play I am having lag spikes. In my last thread I said when I had the lag spikes, there where no frame drops. Now I find out, there are frame drops causing the lag spikes. So now I know why I have lag spikes, but I don't know what is causing it.
Here are some examples:
So here is a list of what I checked:
-My temperature of my GPU and CPU seem fine. (GPU Usage: around 80 to 99%.
GPU Temperature: 66℃ - 71℃. CPU Usage: around 80% sometimes to 99%. Altho I didn't check this too well. CPU Temperature: around 50℃)
-ALL My drivers are up to date.
-I recently installed windows again, clean.
-Everything, all cables, are good connected.
-My internet is not the best, but I can tell the difference between internet lag and lag spikes.
-I ran some benchmarks, and the results where good, as they should be. I am willing to do this again if needed.
-I saw a lot of people having some issues too, especially in GTA V.
-Some people say it is my CPU bottlenecking, others say it doesn't.
-RAM is running in dual channel mode.
-Games are installed on my SSD and HDD.
-Nothing is running in the background.
So I hope I gave clear information. I ran out of ideas what might cause this problem. Or is the GTX 1070 not as good as we think? Thank you for trying to help me.

Here are some examples:
GTA V: In GTA V I have turned V-Sync on. When I drive in the city I have a solid 60 FPS. When I'm on a road (this can be anywhere) and I turn around on the same road and look the other way, I have suddenly a 10 FPS frame drop and it stays around 50 FPS until I am at a spot where the FPS is 60 again. It's weird that when you're standing on a spot and when you look one way, you have 60 FPS, and when you look the other way, your FPS drops with 10 or so. This seems happen on a lot of parts of the map. So in GTA V, random low FPS when driving or being and on specific places and looking to specific directions. Also when there is a lot of police the FPS drops to around 50 sometimes. I know it is a really heavy game, so is it not optimised well? Or is it my PC. I found out that a lot of people are heaving this issue. Settings are on Very High. MSAA x2 and FXAA turned ON. All advanced graphics on max. (I can make screenshots if needed).
Star Wars Battlefront: So in this game I'm having a really good FPS, it stays around the 85-140 FPS. But sometimes I have frame drops which causes lag spikes, they really seem to occur out of nowhere. I also have lag spikes when I die. That seems to be a pretty heavy proces? Settings are on Ultra
Battlefield 4: I also have V-sync turned on in this game. Most of the time I have a solid 60 FPS, but on some places and in some situations I have a frame drop, or the FPS stays a little bit lower around 55 FPS. On some parts of some maps the FPS stays around 55 FPS. And sometimes I have a random lag spike out of nowhere. Than the FPS goes from 60 to 59/55 or so. Just for a mili second. Settings are on Ultra.
Minecraft: Yes, even minecraft. The FPS is high. I didn't test this in single player yet. But in a online game I also noticed some lag spikes.. Even in Minecraft, this concernes me the most.
