Thank you advance for the help.
Ever since I downloaded the Creators Update back in the end of last night my computer has just shit the bed when it's come to gaming and I'm at about my wit's end. My games ran like crap and nothing I could do would fix it. I tried reverting to the previous build I had (Anniversary Update). Nothing. I tried doing a complete clean install of Windows Anniversary Update (missed my solid state). Nothing. Tried resetting my computer to factory settings (still on Anniversary Update, did this yesterday). Nothing.
My fans kick in when I try to play Overwatch. Temps go mid-high 80 degrees C (idk if that's bad?) and I can get like, 70fps on low settings with bad frame drops every so often. The game used to run okay on high and very well on medium. I sprayed some canned air in my fan ports yesterday (had this comp for a year, never cleaned them before but I also didn't have this problem until a month ago) but it didn't help.
I really have no idea what the problem is. I thought it was software- or OS-related before but now that I've done 2 clean installs (the most recent on both drives) I can't really rule out hardware anymore can I?
Specs:
Acer Aspire V15 Nitro
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
CPU: Intel 530 HD
16GB Ram
I'm on Win10 build 14393 (Anniversary Update)
I should mention this is what I get in my NVIDIA control panel. https://imgur.com/a/TerWC
