Hello,
I've had my pc for about a year now and just got this issue recently. Games that I used to run at 140-180 fps like LOL and rocket league are now running at 20-40 frames and i dont know why? It started as soon as new drivers came out and i didnt update them till a week later but whne i updated them, the problem was still there. When i check what the CPU and GPU usage is during those games, it never exceeds 40%. My friend said it could be my 5400rpm hdd but he said to ask on here still.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

My specs:
GPU:Geforce GTX 950 2g
CPU:AMD FX-8350
RAM:HyperX 8gb
PSU:Cosair 400w
MOBO: MSI 970 gaming

Sounds like it may be a confirmation? Take it a step further go into BIOS, and set speed to 3.0ghz and drop the voltage a bit ,this may result in lower frames on average but if it's higher more of the time it's definitely the vrms... Or still could be the power supply.


Usually I'd call this confirmed but that PSU has me worried as well...

Take your side pannel off and aim a fan at the heatsink near the CPU see if that helps anything. Other possibility is if that's a low end 400 watt power supply it could be failing and causing bad performance 400 is a bit lower than I'd want in that build especially with low quality

Its not the temperature on the CPU and GPU, They stay at around 40c and i dont think its the power supply as ive had the pc with the same exact parts for over a year and the problem just started recently

I didn't say CPU or GPU temps. Those 83** processors are very hard on those 970 boards. It's the power delivery system that tends to begin to fade. Try what I suggested it may not help but it will either confirm or eliminate a common issue

Ah, sorry i changed internet and it took some time to set up but i tried what you said and i started to get some good frames from time to time like itll work 20% of the time instead of not working at all

It's not your hard drive. While the games are playing your hard drive isn't doing much of anything. It isn't because a new driver came out. If today Rocket League runs fine for me, tomorrow new drivers come out and I don't update, Rocket League isn't suddenly going to not run well. If I update and then Rocket League doesn't run well, then I can blame the drivers.

I think it might be a throttling issue. Use MSI Afterburner, or some other program, to see clock speeds while you game. Are they as high as they are supposed to be?
