Hey everyone,
I've been getting anywhere from 15-45 fps drops depending on the game I play but it happens on all games regardless. I try to run my games at 144fps but 60 fps if there is a cap. Both times the fps drops are always dropping down to 30-40 fps
I've seen alot of threads, but their answers haven't helped me thus far. I've run Ccleaner to clean my system, I've run malware bytes and virus scans with them saying my system is squeaky clean. I've run data lifeguard diagnostics on both my ssd and hdd using the extended test and they passed. I've checked my temps when running overwatch at 144 and 60 fps and @144 it'll reach 79f and @60 they reach no higher than 65. CPU is on a water cooler and it isn't going any higher than 50f doing the 144fps.
I've boiled this problem down to two possibilities. Either my gpu is starting to go out, but this fps drop is literally the only issue im experiencing so it's hard for me to believe. The other thing i can think of is its the psu going out. Considering my gpu and cpu are both power hungry, I believe my psu isnt consistently feeding them the power they need. My gaming setup is 3+years old so I don't think it's crazy to think one of my components could be going out.
