FPS drops in Game

[thebigmarvinski]

Hi

SInce February I've noticed extreme FPS drops in games and stutter. Had no problems prior and keep my GPU drivers up to date.

Not sure at this stage how to resolve, tried lowering games setting. And DirectX dialogue checks aren't flagging any problems. S o at this point I'm stuck. This was primarily only occuring with Destiny 2, but now happening on Overwatch and Call of Duty Warzone

Any help or solutions appreciated

Best thing is to uninstall current drivers with DDU: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Then reboot and install latest drivers.

When you're updating drivers are you choosing a "custom" installation? That should be done each time as it will fully uninstall the previous version, otherwise it just writes over the top and can cause conflicts and issues like stuttering.

Thanks @SpyderTracks

Seeing a slight improvement, but still a bit choppy on fresh install

the other thing that's recent is on boot I'm seeing CPU temperature warning flash up. But i'm not sure how to interpret the data here. Could this also be a factor?

WoooaaahhH!!!!

Looks like the pump has failed, that is likely it then as the CPU is thermal throttling.

I wouldn't use the PC until you get the cooler replaced. The H60 is underpowered anyway for that CPU, you want the H80i as a minimum, then you also get the benefit of being able to monitor it in windows and set alarms to avoid this kind of thing.

Cool thank you, i'll get on that now

thanks for your help, i cleaned out the fan of the h60 and not helped, so 80i v2 on route, thank you so much for your help
