Originally I posted this specifically about Rainbow six siege (through steam), but now I've noticed in pretty much all my online/multiplayer games and some single player games have either low fps or are stuttering badly. I've noticed my CPU has been having really high load rates, which I think now might be the cause for the low fps. Even in borderlands 2 I was getting 100fps then down to 30-40fps when fighting enemies.
So.. this all started when I noticed my Fps stuttering in Rainbow Six Siege was a lot worse than normal, so I searched forums/youtube/anywhere I could to try and fix the problem. I only tried a few different things like:
-turning Nvidia control panel settings so it utilizes the gpu more than cpu
-updated Geforce Experience drivers
-setting Siege to High priority while it's running (have to do it every time though, didn't help anyway)
-going into the file "Game Settings" and changing the fps from 0 to 144 (didn't save, and didn't work)
-repairing Microsoft Distributable++ apps
-restarted my pc after every fix attempt
-lowering my audio device quality (some people were saying this fixed their "audio and fps stuttering" but did nothing for me)
-tried verifying integrity of game files through steam twice after making some changes (it said all files were fine both times)
-tried clearing download cache in steam
can't think of anything else but i'm pretty sure that's it.
NOW, after I tried to fix the Fps stuttering, the audio gets really stuttery/cuts out completely all the time, but only after I get to the main menu and it says "Press any key to continue" does this happen. All loading screens before this the audio is fine.
Then while running the game in solo T-hunt just to see performance, my Fps is reeally low, like 30's when i usually get 90-130, and the audio is fucked as well.
Note: I downloaded Nzxt's CAM app to check cpu temps and load, temp is low usually 35-40 degrees Celsius, and load is usually pretty high which i'm pretty sure has always been the case for my pc.
Today, After uninstalling + reinstalling siege from the steam app, I tried the game again, and nothing has changed. I then went through and re-changed anything I could think of back to default to see if that fixed it, and nothing worked. I have no idea why this is happening, and I can't think of any way to fix it now. Please help.
Update- I've checked out my other games and noticed that Fps is really low and/or stuttering. I've also noticed my CPU load is usually 80-100% while games are running.. I'm worried. I can't remember changing anything permanent/deleting anything that shouldn't have been? So frustrated.
