Solved Extreme lags and FPS-Drops in Videogames

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello,

I hope you guys can help me.
I have a solid Setup wich is about 2,5 Years old (ownbuild) that I use for Videogames. I mostly play tripple A Titles like Battlefield V and Flightsimulations like DCS 2.5. They have been running without any Problems for the most of time. 2 months ago i startet to get smal stuttering and FPS drops after some Hours of Playtime. I Checked my System and realised that my SSD, wich runs Windows and my Flightsim, was full. I cleaned it here and there and it helped for the time. Since a week these Lags got extremly worse. Videogames now lag every second wich makes them all unplayable. I decided that it was time to clean up my SSD and HDD. I cleaned them complety, reinstalled Windows and all the drivers. These Lags and FPS-Drops are still there and severe. Battleflied V lags around once a second. I checked my System with several tools. (MemTest86, HWMonitor, MSI Afterburner and FurMark) The only tests that showed problems where the stresstests with FurMark. So it seems like its a problem with my GPU. I never OC my System. To help me with my Gamingfix while I find help I Installed Civilation VI, wich I though is still playable with all the heavy lags and FPS drops, but I hadn´t had a single Lag or FPS drop in Civ VI.

Any Solutions to this Problem? Is it just a settings problem?

Thanks for helping and have a good Weekend.

With regards,

Aplaut

 
Hey Evan,

I use a 500 Watts Powersuply from bequiet. I have updated my Motherboard drivers but not the BIOS yet. Upon Starting MSI Gaming app it starts with an errormessage that simply says: "The DWM or Graphic Card has some issues that the application can not be ran correctly". Furthermore I noticed that when im Stress-Testing my GPU I get a noise from the GPU in the same intervals than the FPS drops. I asume these are the fans spoling up and down. Maybe that helps....

I will meet with a friend this Weekend to test another GPU in my system and I´ll try to update the Mainboards BIOS.

Greetings,

Aplaut
 
So here is my Update.

I have tested another GPU in my System and hadn´t had any problems. Also my GPU was running fine in another System. I then build back my System and all the Lags and FPS drops where gone. To be honest i dont know what helped but maybe all it needed was disconnecting the GPU and putting it back in. Anyway im Happy my System runs fine again and i want to thank you for your time

Have a good one.

with regards
