  1. Sudden massive FPS drops during gaming


    Hi everyone,



    I am having this massive drop in FPS from 100 fps to 50+ fps on Modern Warfare. I'm using a GTX 1070 Max Q notebook.

    GPU temps while gaming is approx 80-84c. During gameplay, FPS drops to 50+ all of the sudden and my GPU temp hovers around 70c.

    This happens after I upgraded to Windows 10 2004. I think it has something to do with the power management. It randomly 'changes' my power plans.

    All my drivers are up to date. Can anyone offer any advice or tips?

    Thanks

    Sudden FPS drop/Stutter

    Since 2 days ago, I just turned on my Computer, and it starting having issues while I was playing Witcher 3 (starts with decent fpsm and then very low fps, dropping to 35, then 20, and stopping at 12 or so, in a matter of seconds, in a matter of 1min of starting the game), also stuttering without any high demanding programs, randomly. I was playing at 45-60 fps, without any stutters or sudden fps drop. Have tried other games the issue persists. Even setup everything to low settings.
    I have ran several tests with several tools, all seems normal, no sudden memory spikes, or temperature raising out of the ordinary, nothing that would indicate such an fps drop or stuttering.

    MSI Afterburner

    I also did the reset option on Windows10, completly cleaned out all my personal info from the windows partition.
    So at this point, I am not sure if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Edit: I kept doing some tests to find out the issue. And this happened before and I was able to replicate it. Same thing happened as before, till I set it up to fullscreen, Alt+Tab from the game and then back to the game, FPS went up to 50 again, stable and good, dropped after a couple of seconds. After a bit it went to 2-5 fps, and I had to shutdown the game, because even the sound was getting messed up.

    MSI Afterburner 2

    In this image those ups and downs in the GPU usage are when the fps dropped really hard and the sound got messed up.

    Windows 10 massive fps drop

    Hello, i seem to have a massive fps drop in any game i play, 1/3 to even 1/2 fps drops depending on the game, I've tried reinstalling windows twice, checking drivers constantly and i can't seem to fix it. it's not a hardware issue, i believe it to
    be a software issue, started to happen about the last week of September, so about 2 months now, also sometimes when i restarted pc my fps would be fixed on startup, but the next restart it would drop massively by 1/3 to even 1/2 of my usually amount.
    I also tried bumping my performance of my ram per paging file in the advanced system properties, because i also noticed my memory % jumped quite a bit.

    System Specs:

    Windows 10 os 64-bit

    8 GB of Ram (7.85 usable)

    i5-4690k Cpu @ 3.50 GHz

    AMD Radeon HD 7700 series

    Thank you
