Low FPS and FPS drop

[henrikholstad]

Hi,

 

so I've had my Lenovo Cube for quite some time now, and recently I've started getting lots of FPS drops and sometimes I just have low FPS for longer periods of time. I think this is really weird because it happens in games like CS:GO and Team Fortress 2, which obviosly aren't too heavy. It's super annoying. Can anyone help me out? My PC specs ---> Interl(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz 

GeForce GTX 1070 8GB

8 GB RAM

512 GB SSD

 And I'm not an expert on computer stuff, so I add this just in case: 64-bit based CPU

Your CPU is surely your bottleneck. But you can use the msi afterburner to check which of your 2, cpu or gpu, are at 100% cap when gaming. Usually when you play MP games, your cpu will get penetrated more than in SP.

I'm looking at the usage of my CPU right now and it's at 100% when I'm just searching on chrome and playing .io game, is that normal? It also at over 3. GHz idk if that matters though.
