So this has been happening for about 2 weeks now. I can’t pinpoint it. After a certain amount of time (maybe 5ish hours?) I go into any game, and I barely get 30 fps. Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch. All games I normally get 60+ on. No settings change, even when I turn settings to low as can be it does not improve the frame rate. The only fix is to restart my computer. I have prefer maximum performance set in NVIDIA control panel. GPU Usage is at 100 when the frames go down. No noticeable difference in temps, it’s not throttling because of too high temps. I thought it was discord causing it, but after not opening it in a few days that was not the case.

There’s the task manager startup programs. Normally have Spotify and steam open as well just not on startup.
Here is MSI Afterburner graphs. The red line is where I had rocket league open with only 30 FPS (normally 60+) and after is where I had alt tabbed out and was screen capping. The points before is where I had kerbal space program open and noticed the bad frames but then moved to rocket league.

After this I restarted and everything was fine. Obviously games are still playable, it’s just a major inconvenience to have to restart my computer, especially since I don’t have an SSD.
Any help here or idea as to what’s causing it, and why a restart fixes it? I’ll be happy to provide more info if need be.
