I have been experiencing serious lags in games recently most probably due to Nvidia's latest update (376.33). I have been getting 15 FPS in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (used to get 60 FPS)
I also experience little lag in browsers and OS(Windows 10). Reinstalling the drivers fix the issue temporarily until next use. Restarting PC also fixes lag but for about 5 mins. Now the reason behind the lag could be due to Windows update (Automatic) or any process for that i used GPU Shark utility to run a couple of tests before reinstalling the Drivers and after reinstalling Nvdia Driver (376.33)

I have even tried clean installation. I am not using Integrated graphics as the cable is connected to GPU only.
