OK Ive been getting lower fps across all games for about a month now. I used to get a full 300fps on epic settings in Overwatch, but now its down to 180 and jumping all over the place..Even on lowest settings it'll drop down to 220 whereas normally, the fps counter would be stuck on 300. Quake Champions is having the same issue-- I used to be at 300 with minor drops to 280 on High settings, but now im bouncing all around the lower 200's on lowest settings... ...Even CSGO im getting 280 fps(!), and even less when someones drops a smoke. So something is definitely wrong and ive tried all of the common fixes like: Rolling back video drivers and Bios versions....ive tried with and without IME fix....tried reinstalling windows multiple times...tested RAM for issues...tried reseating RAM...ran defaults in bios...tried using only the drivers provided through asrock support page...Nothing.
Also, I started getting audio/video desyncing on all video streaming ie twitch, youtube, etc the same time I started having fps issues, so I know theyre both being affected by the same thing.
Also, benchmarks are proving that there's something wrong-- My scores are much lower now than benchmarks I took months ago (In Passmark). 7930 --> 7128
Running a Passmark benchmark shows that I scored well above the average and very often, in the 90% percentile or above.....EXCEPT in the 2D benchmarks.
For my 2D score, my system very bad (54th percentile) in Complex Vectors, and in Windows Interface (70th percentile). Everything else I scored in the high 90's. What could this mean?
What component of my PC renders 2D graphics and why would it only be doing bad in these two tests?? Perhaps this is what is causing my fps to drop..
Temperatures are not an issue as my CPU is delidded/aircooled and not going above 60c. Plenty of cooling going on..
So im stumped. I think it would be CPU or GPU related, and a buddy told me that I could have chipset issues, which I cannot find any info on for this mobo, so that's why I came here. Which chipset driver/verison should I be using? I open Device Manager and it shows a driver for a Xeon(R) E3 5th gen PCIe controller...and also a bunch of drivers for "Intel 200 series chipset"....wtf?? I right click to update driver and it says I have the latest installed.. This is the chipset driver that was provided on asrock support page....??
Let me know and I can upload any pics of any info needed...I really dont know what could be causing me to get this low of fps in games now...Im getting the performance of a GTX 1060 6gb which I previously owned... help me!
