Posted March 3, 2019 i have been trying to figure out why my performance has been dropping like crazy when i start playing certain games like the Division or battlefield 5, basically it starts off running all fine gpu usage 100% cpu usage 80%-100% then cpu usage drops to 20% and my frames drop to 20fps from 75+. Is there anything i can do about it.

If the CPU was bottlenecking the graphics card, then swapping to a more powerful graphics card would exacerbate the stuttering problems.

You can sell the 970 for like £120 or so, since you had £145 for another one (which is a bit steep) you should have enough for a used 1070 ti I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.
