As title states,let me explain what happened: Dropped a bottle of water on my computer,most of it landed on my GPU and some on my motherboard,after the damage was done--The motherboard shorted which I had to replace,but the video card somehow managed to live,but now that I replaced the motherboard and running an i7 now,before the incident,I was running a stable 50 frames on this game,but now i'm receiving a 30-29 fps on ultra.

Now my question is,can dropping water on my GPU affect the FPS,but with my knowledge,I figured if that was the case--the GPU wouldn't work at all if it did take water damage?

The game i'm mentioning is called playersuknown:BattleGrounds. Also to note,the same happened within arc--dropped at least 10 frames.

Battlegrounds is apparently terribly optimised, especially at ultra settings. How long ago was the spill and how long did you wait before turning it on, also was the pc on when you spilled the water. Just a lot of factors right now that could be changing things

I apologize for the late reply,it's been a hectic week. But to answer your questions: True,but the game ran smoothly with not fps drops whatsoever on ultra before the spill. The spill took place about two weeks ago. As for the spill itself,I turned on the computer after letting the computer dry up to 6-7hrs. Turned it on,and it came on just fine--till after 10mins later,it completely shut off on its on. After some troubleshooting,found out it was the motherboard that shorted. I realized that was a stupid idea to turn it on after just a few hours. But now i'm worried something might be damaged and might be causing the frame drops.

Here's my current specs:
GeForce GTX 1060 SSC 6GB : Driver version = 382.05
Intel Core i7 2600 CPU@3.5ghz
11.98GB RAM

Now the only different components I had to change where the current gen i5 and the motherboard. I'm thinking the i5 gave me the boost in fps? But it wouldn't make any sense why an i5 would be better than an i7,would it?
