I haven't changed anything at all. Windows 10 force updated last week and ever since then, rainbow 6 siege has been running at about 90fps but will drop down to 30 and below whenever anything happens. MY specs are an i5-6500, gtx 970, 16 gbs of ddr4 ram, and rainbow runs off of a 256gb 960 evo.
The things i've tried that havent worked are as following:
-rolling back drivers and windows 10.
-clean installing my gpu drivers
-messing with settings in game
-turning v-sync on in nvidia control panel and in game
none of those things helped even a little bit.

Are you monitoring your utilization at idle? I just found a "bug"* yesterday, which was something like "state repository" causing high CPU usage at Idle (somewhat related to the Edge browser). If your CPU utilization is high before you even enter a game, chances are you're pegged at 100%.

*The bug appears to relate more to clean OS installs than it does a Windows 10 update though. .....

Actually yeah that's one thing i forgot to mention. My cpu is stuck at 100% besides when im in the menu screens. It's weird though because my friends have monitored their cpu usage and theirs are around 95-100% but i assume thats not the same thing as being pegged at 100% all the time like me. My cpu is only pegged at 100% when i open the game and get into a match by the way
