Hey guys!
I've had my computer for several years now, replacing parts bit by bit. Only recently have I suddenly had the problem where moving my mouse in a game like CS:GO or Rocket League causes FPS to drop from 100ish to 20-30. I've never had this problem before. Using a controller doesn't cause any FPS drops but I feel like the PC isn't performing as well on Rocket League as it used to. Anyway, I changed my mouse's polling rate from 1000Hz to 500Hz and it really helped the issue. However, I still notice frame drops when looking at the FPS counter whilst playing Counter-Strike, when I'm moving my mouse. Switching menus also creates a considerable drop which I don't think I noticed before. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in Task Manager, each game takes up "40-50%" of the GPU.
With this knowledge, can I determine which component of my PC may be starting to fail? I've tried switching mice and the same problem occurs.
Specs:
Processor - AMD FX-8350, c. 3 years old
RAM - 10GB DDR3, c. 3 years old
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3, c. 1.5 years old
Graphics - 2GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 (Palit), c. 4/5 years old
Storage - 1TB Seagate HDD, c. 5 years old, 240 GB Kingston SSD, c. 3 years old
PSU - Corsair VS 550, c. 2/3 years old
