Hey guys, I'm not really experienced in this stuff since this is my first PC build but I noticed that when I built it (9 months ago) I had much higher FPS in games. I remember having over 220fps and over 120 while fighting in LoL now I hardly get 150fps and in fights hardly 80fps. Then recently noticed that my FPS got a lot worse I used to have over 60fps on very high in Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor. Now it can't even get to 60 on High. Also noticed that I have FPS drops more frequently, the ones that last like less than 1 second but it's pretty noticable. Could some1 help me out please?

My PC specs :

i5-6400 with stock cooler
Msi B150m Mortar
8GB Ram
Gigabyte GTX 960 4Gb
Evga Supernova 750 G2

It should not. Try doing a clean driver install and, as a last resort, try a clean install of the whole system. It could be a PSU problem as well, but you have a Supernova, I don't think that's the problem and, at that level, you should be reporting random reboots too. That's very likely to be a driver/system related issue.

so I should download the drivers from the Nvidia site and not from Geforce Experience?

Nope. It's all the same. But, just for the sake of simplicity, download the latest from nvidia site and, in the middle of the setup it'll have a box saying "Clean installation" or something like that. Check that box and proceed. It'll clean the old driver configurations and everything and will install the new without carrying garbage from the previous. This fixes most driver related problems.

I tried some games, but I see no difference. maybe even loss. I also noticed that if I zoom in i can't even get to 200 fps. I used to have over 300 when I zoomed in. But I comfirm that it helped Shadow of Mordor. getting 60 fps in very high now

A graphics card's performance does not degrade over time in regards to hardware per se. However, the software aspect in regards to continuous updates on the hard drive can influence the storage to become slower over time. That's why clean uninstallations and clean installations are recommended because fragments of a previous driver can slow a new graphics driver update.
