FPS Drops

[chumbiie]

So I recently started to get FPS spikes while I was in-game (Almost every game). I thought it might have been my PC overheating, so I downloaded 'CoreTemp' to check the temperatures will gaming. Generally, all of my cores temps were between 38 and 55 °C.

But sometimes all of my core temperatures and load just went sky high, the temps would go above the max, and the load would go to 100% (Looking at CoreTemp) causing my FPS to drop, the spikes last 1-2 seconds.

Ok... Find out how many background programs are running. If you can shutdown any you don't need.. Unplug any peripherals you do not need.. Also the latest complaints from just about any game ,are the game host servers.. Software/games not updated, slow internet and win 10. Are you running windows 10?

 

[chumbiie]

Usually, when it happens I close every tab I don't use.
And yes I'm running Win10

 

[chumbiie]

Also, it generally happens when my PC has been turned on for at least 6 hours or more.

Have you checked those temps after that 6 hour period? What gpu do you have ....full spec's please.

Also, the 6 hours is just an estimate, could be more. It also doesn't happen every day but has happened more often this week.

I have been looking at the task manager while I have been playing. My GPU rises to 75-100%(The game being the one using 100% of the GPU), CPU to 70+%, and memory at 60-70% while playing 1 game, have 5-8 google chrome tabs, and Discord open.

How is the air flow?

 

[chumbiie]

I don't know how to measure that? But before I posted here, I made sure to clean my PC from dust, etc.


Here's a picture of how my PC reacts when I play CoD BO CW. (As my native language isn't English, I tried translating to what I believe, what it is called)

Let's get more help..

@jmarket @Bruce

 

[jmarket]

Are you running the latest version of GeForce Experience as well as the latest NVidia Drivers? Also, what version of Windows 10 are you running?

 

[Bruce]

are there any patches/updates for that game?
can you publish your complete Speccy results, not just a snippet of the first dozen lines.
have you tried running the game in PC/stand-alone/offline mode (whatever they call it), in other words unplug the network and play in single-player mode for 6 hours and see if it still does it.
are you wireless or ethernet connected to the modem?

 

[chumbiie]

@jmarket Nvidia drivers are up to date, aswell as GeForce Experience. Windows 10 Home - Version 21H1. It says that it was installed 25th of March 2021, even though I have had it installed for at least 3 years.

@Bruce No pacthes/updates. I have not tried offline mode. I use ethernet (500/500 Mbps)

 

[veeg]

Any updates?
