Windows 10: FPS drops by 20-30 frames after 5 minutes of playing, alt tab fixes it

Ran the System File Checker, everything was fine, still having those annoying fps drops.

 

Well if you have tried everything else and nothing worked, you can try Razer Cortex Game Booster. Sometimes people claim they get 10-20 extra fps with it.

I remember on one of my older rigs with a 5650, it helped get rid of some stutter in JC2 and even got me 20+ fps there so.

I'd like to say it helps with my current system (open specs to see) but I haven't felt the need to use it on this rig so I can't really say. But with older hardware it definitely does help.

 

Kinda helps with the FPS, buy the fps drops are still there.

 

I think I found th3 issue, gpu memory clock is at 275 mhz or lower at all times, overclocking doesnt help, how to fix? It might be GPUZ bug tho

 

Did you check GPUZ while running a game/graphics intense application? It is never full speed otherwise

 

I clicked on "Sensors", went to "GPU Memory Clock" and pressed on it, so it would show the max. Went to game, played it, Max hadn't changed. It might be GPU-Z bug tho, since I used Rivatuner Overlay during playing and saw that the Memory Clock was 1010 MHz. Still haven't fixed the goddamn FPS drops tho.

 

What does the Memory Clock report in these areas:

• Amd Catalyst (for older AMD cards like yours that don't have the GCN Architecture) (you can manually adjust it the recommended way with the CCC: Catalyst Control Center)
• Speccy

If something looks off in these two, check what the Bios reports.

 

Under "Information" it shows the so called default clocks (750 and 775). Speccy does not show Memory Clock.

...

Anybody?

 

Ran 3DMark and saw that the memory clock is also low there, idk what's wrong. AMD Radeon HD 7470M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,Hewlett-Packard 1656

 

Just a shot in the dark...

Try checking power schemes under Control Panel. Try selecting "High Performance" and try again.

 

I had it on high performance, no help. Also reinstalled Windows 10 and tried different drivers. No fking solution.

 

check if on your AMD control program you see any option like "prefer maximum performance". Also, check your temps. It might be throttling.

 

Everything is set to Maximum Performance on AMD settings and Intel settings. GPU max temp that I get while playing is 66, the highest CPU is 70. I've been thinking that maybe Intel's Turboboost is giving up after 5 minutes of playing?

 

I ran a benchmark map for CSGO and I also messed around with the memory clocks. First, I underclocked the memory to minimum, which is 385 MHz. Ran the test. Got 86 FPS. Put it to the max, which is 1010 MHz and got 94 FPS. Isn't that a bit low?
EDIT: And increasing the core clock from 750 MHz to 975 MHz gives just ONE frame more. WHAT!?

 

Is this happening only under CS:GO. It never ran well for me either. How about other games?
