recently, when playing games like rocket league or planet coaster, the 1050TI is vastly underperfoming, getting only 30ish frames at max settings, whereas yesterday it ran perfectly fine, other games like planet coaster have reduced frame drops as well. I have updated all the drivers to with no change. The fans are spinning, and everything is fine, MSI afterburner was showing only 70% GPU usage (not entirely sure if thats normal considering im not the most techinical person in the world), occasionally, i would open the game and it would run perfectly fine, only to find out mid match that it would lock down to 30fps again! I have my fps cap maxed out as well as tried lowering all my settings to the lowest to see if it would run better, yet it still runs at 30fps. On the rare occasion that is runs above 30 in a game, there are framerate stutters. 100% this should not be happening on a system like mine for a such an undemanding game..

please help

specs:
1050Ti OC 4GB
AMD-FX 8370
MSI 970 Gaming Mobo
16GB of ram
 
Solution
Try using DDU to do a clean uninstall of all old drivers then reinstall the newest drivers for your card. 90% of the time I have this problem a clean install of my drivers fixes it.

Do the (express/recommended) Installation not custom, I have run into problems with the custom installation.
Assuming you did not made any hardware or software upgrades yesterday, possible casues:
1. virus or other unwanted program eating CPU time
2. (assuming you play online) problem with your internet connection
3. GPU malfunction - unlikely, but not impossible
Switching to newer version GPU drivers could do that as well.

That looks ok.



As far as I know, without correct VC redistributable version, the game would not even start. Whenever you install any program or game which uses them, the setup asks if you wanna install this component (usually at the end of installation). So reinstalling game re-installs those components too.
