Okay, so I've been pretty obsessed with Overwatch since it's release and as of a month or so ago updated to a 144hz monitor. It is my understanding that my rig can pump out 144 FPS and does so frequently - when I first get on, for example, it'll dance between 120-200 no problem.
But now it more frequently stays down in the 60's. This isn't a big deal, but I wouldn't have purchased a monitor that can refresh @ 144. I'll experience stuttering as well and sometimes will drop down to the 30's only to then immediately pop back up to 60. In the game settings I have to go back and forth in capping at 150 and 300 for it to essentially "reset" back to triple digits.
Now, my GPU driver is up to date. I keep ALL my settings in-game in low. I thought maybe it was a temp thing either with my GPU or CPU, but the hottest my GPU gets is 81-C and the hottest my CPU gets is in the high 50's (around 58-59C). I'll quickly switch over to HW Monitor when I experience the stuttering in-game.
I don't think it's throttling since my CPU is only at 39% utilization according to Task Manager (however 50% of Memory is being used so maybe that's the issue?)
I don't think it's throttling, I don't think it's heat, I am providing plenty of power, my hardware SHOULD all be able to handle it, my internet hasn't changed (in fact it's increased) so i'm kind of at my wits end.
