Stuttering and occasional FPS drops on a good PC

Shadow_12a · Mar 27, 2018

Recently, in games such as CSGO I have been having random freeze spikes throughout the games which last roughly 2-3 seconds, this happens some what often and only started happening a few days ago, I am also noticing FPS drops in GTA V now which never happened before. Anyone got any ideas on the issue and fix

Specs are

Core™ i7-6700K Quad Core 4.00 GHz 8MB Cache LGA1151 + HD
MSI GeForce(R) GTX 970 4GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card (Single Card)

Thanks in advance!

hi
Monitor your GPU /CPU for overheating
Open task manager and download MSI afterburner to see witch one hits 100% (bottleneck)
Could be a weak or tired PSU.

Does your system need it's seasonal cleaning to get dust out of the heat sink fins? It may be overheating and throttling. Have you installed any new software on it lately, that might be enough of a load to be noticed while you're trying to play?

dextermat :

I monitored the GPU / CPU and it started stuttering when temp was only 65C

Onus :

I removed the dust earlier today and I hadn't been on my pc for a few months and this stuttering began when I begun to use it again (I updated the nvdia driver already) and no haven't installed any software like that recently.

windows 10? try disabling DVR.
freeze spikes usually isn't temperature problem. fps drops from high temp is usually more than 5 seconds because it downclocks the GPU momentarily to lower the temp.
annoying freeze spikes could be anything software related... and sometimes rather pesky to diagnose. it could even be malware or driver related. please note that the last stable nvidia drivers is 390.77.
