I have been noticing some massive FPS drops in pretty much all games I play including some windows lag I am not used to before even though I have all the same settings when there were no problems. I downloaded a few things (FTB Modpack with curse and twitch) and the Geforce Experience for my GPU because I had not used it in a while. The games include R6 Siege, Arma 3 and World of Tanks to name a few and all run a solid 60+ and then stutter and lag for anywhere from 0.5 seconds to a whole 10 seconds! I have tried: Malware detecting on Avast premium and Malwarebytes, De-fragging all drives, Completely de-dusting pc, deleting unnecesarry programs and setting my GPU power managment to full for the individual games. The only thing I can think of is the HDD my windows is installed on is pretty old but the games im playing are on newer, seperate drives! Specs are as followed

.GTX 980 4GB Palit Jetstream
.i7 5820k Six-Core 3.3ghz
.16GB DDR4 RAM 3000Mhz
.Bequiet Cpu Cooler (Cant remember the name but its massive)
.Drives: (Kingston sv300 ssd)(WD 1tb Blue)(Not sure HDD with windows but is 2yrs old)
.Gigabyte X99 MOBO
.Steady Internet speed of 100+ Mpbs

That's what I had thought at first when mine crapped out, even removed the Geforce Experience altogether. I've not got the determination this week to do anymore figuring so I've done a reset on my PC and am reinstalling it fresh - during this I've hit a couple bsod but it was a C++ error. Hopefully no more troubles for either of us.

When did this appear to begin? I don't have temporary stuttering - mine is constant but seems like the CPU and GPU are bottlenecking each other.

I have a thread "Win10 or Nvidia update killed overall PC performance".

The Avast thing is a good point, I run it as well. Did you receive any recent Windows updates or Nvidia updates over the past 2 weeks?

I think I may have fixed it even though it was a bit of a fluke. I just re-installed my GPU drivers from the geforce experience as I thought that the geforce program was the problem and it fixed it! Dont know why installing geforce made my games die but atleast I know how to fix it! Can I ask, did you mean my GPU and CPU were bottlenecking each other? because I was quite confident they were both high spec enough to keep up with each other?
