Hi all,

So I just built a new PC machine with the following specs:
Core i5- 7600 3.5Ghz
GTX 1080 OC
RipJaws 16GB DDR4 2400
Gigabyte GA-H270 Motherboard
CoolerMaster liquid pro 120
750W PSU
Acer Predator X34 monitor (3440x1440 with Gsync enabled)

Lately while playing games like the witcher 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda I have noticed occasional instances in sudden dipping of FPS for a second or two and the occasional stuttering. I am just wondering if my CPU is bottle-necking. I have the GPU in OC mode and monitor I have kept at its base clock of 60hz...

Any help would be very much appreciated :)

Cheers

Thanks for your reply :)
As far as I know the BIOS is up to date. Everything looks good in device manager. GPU drivers all up to date with GeForce Experience. I'll give the 3dmark a go

Cheers
