Recently, my PC performance has dropped significantly. At random times for a few seconds, fps drops to practically unplayable in games. The times are not predictable nor the length of the fps drop. I ran Valley Benchmark in free mode so there was no fade between clips so I can tell when it drops from when it changes slides. The time spent was good for a bit then I had the fps drop a few times later into my benchmarking. The temps are good, what they usually are for me anyways. I've never experienced thermal throttling and am wondering if I am experiencing it now and how I would fix it. The fps drops are seen when the GPU usage, temp and CPU temp drops but cpu usage goes up?
