Sudden FPS drop

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 22, 2018

Hey guys I have a newly built pc and I just started having this issue.
I have a i7 8700k and gtx 1070. While playing pubg and squad my fps drops dramatically and the game gets really laggy and it won’t go away until i restart the game? It’s really wierd. This happened about 4 times in 1 week and I have no idea what’s causing it. My cpu and ram usualy it’s high at all. So I don’t think it’s bottlenecking any idea what is causing this sudden FPS drop.

Check temps while gaming.

What motherboard?

Does it have killer network? If so and using control center manager software along with it, this program can cause problems.

Driver only for killer network from killer network them selves.

My psu is CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W I did t upgrade it could that be causing the issue ?

boju · Apr 22, 2018

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 22, 2018

I’m using Noctua nd15 fans plus 4 case fans. Also cpu and memory wasn’t at a high usage when it happed. Gpu temp was 71c.

WildCard999 · Apr 22, 2018

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 22, 2018

I’m going to check the next time it happens with screenshots

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 23, 2018

Appreciate the offee but no need.

How much ram?

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 23, 2018

16 gb 2x8

antonio.campanelli21 :

Ok, so you have enough ram so pagefile isn't an issue. But if you've played around with it previously, return it to default settings and let Windows manage it. Or in some cases i've had people with stutters found increasing the page file size to 10GB or so helped which i found odd, benefit of the doubt.

You don't have Killer lan so this isn't an issue

Have you installed Chipset drivers for your motherboard?
https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-X-HERO/HelpDesk_Download/

Windows 10:

Is Win10 a fresh install or upgrade?
Have you configured power plans for maximum performance?
Have you disabled game bar? Game bar can break performance and it also includes xbox dvr recording which records your game play. On by default.

Nvidia:

Have you set to prefer maximum performance?
Have you tried Adaptive or Fast sync under Vsync option in Manage 3D?
Have you installed the latest Drivers? Use DDU to uninstall drivers first in Safemode, https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ Install DDU first before entering Safemode.

Malware/Virus

Have you ran a Malware scan? Use https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Ok so I built my pc a month ago and the only driver I didn’t install is my bios. (Asus ROG Maximus hero x) I ran malware scan yesterday found 1 thing removed it but issue still occurring. Also all my settings in bios are default I didn’t really mess with anything. I’ll have to check Nvidia settings when I get on.

boju · Apr 24, 2018

What do you mean bios driver?

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 24, 2018

I never updated bios.

boju · Apr 24, 2018

I doubt thats the problem but you can try.

I think reinstalling Windows is in order

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 24, 2018

Can I reinstall windows and not have to wipe out hdd?

boju · Apr 24, 2018

Thats not how it works but you could back up your data to another drive or if have a spare drive could use to test a fresh install on.

boju · Apr 24, 2018

Actually Windows reset might work, wont lose data then it just resets Windows. No guarantee though, fresh install is always best but try reset first.

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 24, 2018

Is there any chance it can be a bad gpu ? I recently bought it used ? Is there any good programs that will test that?

boju · Apr 24, 2018

Yeah 3Dmark Firestrike and compare graphics scores with systems close to yours. Compare those with cpu and gpu clock speeds closer to your clocks as there will be lots overclocked so keep that in mind.

https://benchmarks.ul.com/3dmark down the bottom Basic Edition

Theres 3 score types, physics = cpu, graphics = gpu and combined score.

antonio.campanelli21 · Apr 25, 2018

I noticed last night that in Nvidia settings I had preferred graphics processor to auto select. I changed it to my gpu could that of been the issue ?

boju · Apr 25, 2018

You have the option of auto or selecting gpu, i've never had any problems leaving it on auto since onboard graphics requires a physical cable connection connected to the motherboard that Nvidia won't select that by mistake
