So i've built a pc about 2 months ago and it was working completely fine until yesterday, when I launch ANY game the fps drops to about 26 or 15 for some reason but after about 30mins - 1 hour everything would be normal again and I'd be able to play my games. However, this problem occurs again when the pc is rebooted.

I have a gtx 1080, i7-3820 CPU and the Hydro Heatsink. Could it be that my cpu is the problem here?

Probably not the CPU, as you'd a) be seeing the issue in non-game situations, & b) you would either not see it disappear after 30-60 minutes, or you'd see it get progressively worse after each reboot. And while drops can be caused by heat spikes a lot of times, it's usually a reverse of this (i.e. starts out fine then the drops start after 30-60 minutes of playing).

Things to check:
-- Did you recently update your GPU drivers, & if so have you tried rolling back to the prior version?
-- Did you install any recent Windows updates, & if so have you tried rolling them back?
-- If the games are part of the same service (i.e. Steam), were there any recent updates to the service?

Now that you mentioned it, this did occur once about a month ago but I've never experienced it this bad until now. And I download a nvidia driver update recently, I will try going back.

I have the same problem. My friends also have it, but a little different than what you describe.

I think it is a recent Windows update. I it driving me crazy, I am trying different things though.

Btw, i have Toshiba Qosmio x70-b, AMD 200x Series. i7-4720HQ.
One of My friends have Nvidia 1080.

Please reply if you have solved yours.

Same problem here for about a month ago, my fps drops suddenly from a steady 60fps to around 15's. It seems to be related to a Nvidia Drivers update or a Steam update (maybe the steam_API DLL). I found this workaround in a forum: Just open (and keep it that way) the Windows Task Manager while your gaming sessions.

That works for me!!! but the whole thing makes me :/

My System:
Core i5
8GB RAM
GTX 1060 6GB
WIN 10 Pro 64bits


Hope this helps...
