Greetings, I upgraded my GPU a while ago to an nvidia geforce 1070 started to suffer from what I would call "Low FPS Syndrome". I'm currently laying around 15 min fps to 80 max fps in counter strike global offensive. (other games are effected as well). I've made sure to uninstall my old GPU drivers by reinstalling nvidia geforce experience as suggested and after that install my new drivers. I've also made sure my bios and my other component drivers are where they should be. Please help, I can no longer stand playing games looking like GIFS.

This also for some reason effected my youtube experience where my screen sometimes freezes, crashes my browser (chrome) and when it starts responding again the video field of the website is green. That alone is the only website whit this kind of behavior.
I also scan my computer for viruses about once a week.

  • Specs

    Motherboard : MSI MS-7817 (H81M-P33)
    CPU : Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU g3258 3.20GHz
    RAM : HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz 4GB x2
    GPU : Nvidia Geforce 1070 Rog Strix
    PSU : Corsair CX750M 750W
    OS : Windows 10 Pro (10.0.14393 build)
Been checking out different posts about the subject here however with little success.

It's been mentioned that the CPU determines the theoretical maximum fps your PC can achieve. Since it wasn't the CPU you upgraded I would expect any fps gain to be minimal. Here the GPU is effectively requesting the CPU to work harder to keep up (which it can't). In short, the system is unbalanced for gaming experience (or to put it another way, the CPU is a bottleneck). You could try lowering the resolution at the risk of scaling problems and see if there's an fps boost. Truthfully, for the fps boost you're looking for you would need to upgrade your CPU.

As for the Youtube thing, I think that's completely separate to the fps issue you have. Might be worth going into Chrome's settings and see if hardware acceleration is selected or...

There were odd graphical issues concerning hardware acceleration a while back which involved deselecting the option.

Then it was as I feared, well I guess I'd just keep on saving up *cheers* :') Thanks.
And your idea on how to fix my youtube problem worked perfectly. I can now skip forward with no fear of restarting chrome all together!

That's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too high.

It should be below 75 in all cases. Check your CPU heatsink for dust or re-apply thermal paste.

I honestly don't think that would do to much, added new thermal paste around 3 weeks ago and I also dusted it at that point and I do not remember that making a difference.. I guess I just have to choke my wallet once again for a motherboard since I have a i7 laying around waiting on being used.

As the others have mentioned something sounds off with the temperatures, especially when it's mentioned there's little difference between idle and load temperatures. If thermal paste was changed recently then we assume the correct amount was used (size of a pea), which would rule that out. RobCrezz's and RCFProd's suggestions are worth looking into for a relatively easy fix. (I would add checking whether the fan(s) spin.)

Yeah I'm sure, I always give it a go without the case whenever I've tamperd with it to make sure every visable starting object works, including the CPU fan. But I may add that the fan I currently use for my CPU is the default one that they package with the CPU itself.

Could it not be because of the GPU pushing it to hard? Because I am positiv that its working and mounted correctly.

I remember watching a linustechtips video about all the different thermal paste methods and its difference in performance (close to none) however yes I did use myself of the "pea". But I can possibly dig out another fan from an other case that might preforme a bit better then a default CPU fan.

No. With your temps it is not working and mounted correctly. Is the fan spinning ok? have you checked the pushpins are locked in (it has to hold it tight to the motherboard).

After making this thread I opend up an older case of mine to get that cpu fan, (cooler master) now I am at 45 Celsius instead of the 90 range. However that did not change my FPS problem, so I'm guessing that its the CPU that in general is to weak for my graphic card as someone mentioned earlier.
