Hi, i have some issues with the fps in csgo where i should have like 300-500fps but drops down to 130-200 fps on some certain occasions often (not that it is a big problem, but i have a 240hz monitor i wanna fully utilize and with the specs i have fps shouldnt really be a problem). ive had frame drops in other games aswell like in tomb raider where i ussualy had like 50-60 fps now dropped to 30-40 fps in the same exactly place and position.

while playing non supported sli games i do disable sli at all times.

Any help is appriciated :D

since you mentioned using the AI suite (which is a pretty good tool and no other like it esp for people who dont want to spend too much time doing OC). but it defaults to "safe OCs" and doesnt do "all sync" all the time in its stress tests. it will downclock the last 2 or more cores. and has a active powersaving/stepping plan since it will use Auto on most of the OC options/settings esp on voltage with adaptive/offset auto. i can see how your FPS are dropping.

if you want more consistent FPS, switch it to "sync all cores" to a specific max multiplier (e.g. 48) you want and you must switch the vcore to manual and set a specific value that you feel comfortable with. its usually on the values like 1.2 to 1.4ish. BEWARE tho dont go over...

if its a transition/blackout scene, yes it will naturally drop your FPS (if you OC'd your CPU as Adaptive/Offset,OS powerplan balanced. or your GPU power setting is adaptive). but if its a normal scene with lots going on, it could be a couple of things. either your CPU/GPU throttled down during those scenes. you can try running a stress test with Furmurk or Unigine. just run Heaven. we dont want to overstress it too much. and run a HWInfo and run the sensors for your CPU cores and GPU chip to check if any of them reached anything above 90C on max value.
what are your OC tweaks for your CPU and GPU?

also check your voltage outputs on the +12V rail in the HWInfo during demanding scenes. it may be your PSU not keeping up with your hardwares demands. or you didnt put enough voltage on your OC tweaks.

I overclocked the cpu trough AI SUITE, but i had the problems before i overclocked it to 4.8ghz, i do have RTSS so i can see the temps of the gpu and cpu all the time, the cpu never goes over 65-70 degress celcius and the top gpu stays at 80 degress ceclius. as i am running unigine heaven right now, my cpu does stay at max 65 degresss cecluis dosent even go over it.
here is a gif showing how it goes while its using heaven - https://gyazo.com/3411530913beed90015e7b895815f6bb
edit: My psu is also 850 watts, system only needs 738 watts but due to me getting watercooling soon i got a 850 watts psu instead of 750 so i odnt need to upgrade later

BEWARE tho dont go over 1.400 unless you know exactly what youre doing. this will cause irrepairable damage to your cpu and/or motherboard. not all cpu/motherboards are the same so neither me or you know the limit before it breaks. besides vcore there are other settings that you may have to switch to manual input from auto. please read blogs/watch youtubes of experienced overclockers. and dont copy exact voltages since not all motherboards/cpus are the same.

if you wanna use the AI suite, ive never done this myself but you can go to the DiGi + VRM. and change the CPU VRM switching frequency from Auto to Fixed. for example, if you want your freq to reman 5Ghz constantly, lower the freq value to maybe 100khz(or 0khz if allowed) instead of the default 300khz. this means intead of oscillating CPU between 4.7 ~ 5.0. then it will just be 4.9~5.0. but this will make your CPU really hot. so make sure your cooler does a good job of stabilizing temps to 70~75C at least before you wanna have this as your permanent setting.
