gaming fps problem i suspect my cpu is not working properly

Ttomerr55 · May 20, 2017

First of all own Intel Core i5-7600 CPU @ 3.50GH and GTX 980 graphics card.
When i optimize a game with Geforce Expirience it usually gives me very high to ultra graphics, and when i first enter the game and for example im in a room with one AI the FPS is 60 on very high graphics, but the second i enter a place with alot of people. the fps drops hard.
this happend to me in Dishonoured 2 when i started it was on steady 60 fps but when i entered the throne room it dropped to 30, the same happened in Watch Dogs 2 and in The Witcher 3 And in Mafia 3 And in Mass Effect andromeda.. so as you can see this is a recurring problem that i would love to get help for, Thanks.
BTW i just bought this CPU so this problem is really annoying for me.

Is it exactly 60 then drops to exactly 30? If do then vsync is on in the nvidia cpntrol panel or in game.

try lower the setting then what geforce experience recommend

i did i forgot to add that in dishonoured 2 i lowered my settings each time and it still had shitty fps untill i reached low and im not going to play with low graphics after paying so much for card and cpu

Gotta ask... have you double double checked that you plugged into the gpu and not the mobo?

Run afterburner, occt, etc and log your cpu/gpu temps and usage.

What are your complete system specs? If you changed mobo when you did the cpu upgrade did you reinstall windows from scratch?

so what i did is first turned off vsync and it did work much better but i hate playing with no vsync, so i turned on tripple buffering and vsync and instead of very high which i got like 56-60 fps to high where i have steady 60. so this is basically the solution but im still not completely satisfied with it i guess, if i want to upgrade my computer what should i upgrade to make it better? because in watch dogs 2 it still has it problems, btw my stats are:

using windows 10 enterprise?

J_E_D_70 · May 20, 2017

Meant what are your max temps and usage under load. Also - did you reinstall Windows when you upgraded?

Ttomerr55 · May 21, 2017

rgd1101 :

yes i do why?

Ttomerr55 · May 21, 2017

J_E_D_70 :

i had windows 7 and when i upgraded my hardware i installed windows 10, and where can i check my max temps and usage under load?

rgd1101 · May 21, 2017

Ttomerr55 :

that a work os for business. why would you spend the money to get enterprise? could have you the money for better components

Instead of v-sync which introduces lag try using frame capping. If your game doesn't support frame capping try using a program like msi afterburner which can force frame capping in all games.

sizzling · May 21, 2017

Or you could try adaptive v-sync but I still don't like that due to lag.

J_E_D_70 · May 21, 2017

To be clear... you had win 7 on a hdd from older computer, you built new system and plugged that hdd in, then did an in-place upgrade to win 10 (NOT a fresh install)? If so, it's a wonder it works at all. New mobo needs clean install of OS in nearly every instance.

To monitor under load, you fire up OCCT, stretch the graphs, run the cpu test, then run the gpu test (don't run the psu test - can overload system), and review the results. Or, can leave the graphs up during gameplay and after 10-15 minutes alt+tab out and look at how hot the components were. Or, have OCCT up on a second monitor.

its not that even, theres something wrong with my computer because it didnt matter what definition i had it on the fps was exactly the same, went from steady 60 to 49 in certain areas with more people.
i am using afterburner and it still happened btw

Ttomerr55 · May 21, 2017

J_E_D_70 :

ill tell you what i did with my win 7 and such, i have a kaby lake cpu and i heard it doesnt go well with win 7 so i rebooted my computer and switched to win 10 apperently win 10 enterprise.
did i do anything wrong?

J_E_D_70 · May 21, 2017

Yep. If you move to a new chipset you have to reinstall windows from scratch. Old drivers and registry settings can stick around and hose it up.

DSzymborski · May 21, 2017

Yup, as others said, you need to do a full, fresh install of Windows 10 and *then* re-evaluate the situation to see if the problem persists. The best way to start narrowing down the culprit of a generally vague problem is eliminate all the sources of problems that you can.

Ttomerr55 · May 21, 2017

DSzymborski :

but i did do that, as i upgraded my computer to a better cpu i also upgreaded my windows from scratch all the drivers and everything. look im gonna sum up my problem. theres places in games such as dishonoured 2, watch dogs 2 and more that my fps drops. and it doesnt matter what graphics im on, if its low or very high the fps still drops. what could be my problem?

Ttomerr55 · May 21, 2017

i just did a cpu temp check, and while i was in Dishonoured 2 in a specific spot where my fps drops i had like 37-69 min and max, and overload 100%. not in game the overload is like 13% or 20%.. is there a problem here?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Ttomerr55 : "cpu overload 100%"

Ttomerr55 :

Dishonored 2 might be the problem. I've heard that the game is stupidly hard to run compared to other titles of around the same complexity. I would try another intensive game and see if you have the same issues.
