So for the past 6 months or so I have been experiencing stutters and frame drops consistently and nothing I do seems to help.
Right before I wrote this my CPU was at 99% load, for some reason. I haven't seen that happen before so I don't know if that is the problem or just something that happened out of no where that might not have anything to do with this problem.
So far I have done the following:
- Sent back my GPU to be repaired
- Changed PCIE slots
- DeFragged my HDD
- Format HDD
- Used Malware Bytes to clear computer of threats (It found 20 Threats, two of which were Malware)
- Checked to see if CPU was overclocked or turbo-ed in BIOS settings (it was not)
- Reinstalled games
- Reinstalled Drivers
- And lastly, Cried....alot.
Some things of note
1.) Since my Malware cleanse, I have not formatted my computer, though I did quarantine and delete the threats through Malware-Bytes
2.) I have gotten two new monitors though I don't see how that would change anything.
3.) Before I sent my GPU in for fixing I was experiencing GPU artifacting in my games along with FPS stutters and Drops, though after receiving the fixed GPU I no longer have the artifacting though I still have the FPS drops. This is making me think its not the GPU's fault I am having these issues.
4.) The Games I play are usually some pretty optimized games such as Overwatch, WOW, Squad, Battlefield, and PUBG (Maybe not that last one, though funny enough PUBG is one of the games I never really have much stutters with.)
5.) I have not, other then move the GPU from one PCIE slot to another (which I did switch back after the test) done anything INSIDE the computer, just for the fact that I don't know what I should do in it.
6.) I am using the 8x PCIE slot because when I used the 16x, my screen would not turn on, making me think the Motherboard might also be failing somehow.
7.) I stress tested my GPU with Furmark and got a perfect score (low FPS 58 High of 89, temps never went above 75c)
8.) My CPU temps (from what I've seen, have never been crazy high, usually 50c on idle and maybe 60c in game)
9.) before my Format I was noticing my GPU load to be 100% when I would see the stutters, but I have not seen my load over 70% since the format.
My specs are this
CPU: Intel i5 7600k
GPU: GTX EVGA 1080 FTW2
MoBo: MSI GP Carbon Z270
Cooler: NZXT Kraken X52 RL
PSU: CX600
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb DDR4
