Lower gaming performance overnight

[OrestisKotopoulos]

Hello guys. I’ve come up a strange problem with my computer and I need some help. So I have the 2950x threadripper with 32 gt 3000mhz cL 15 ram and the Asus rtx 2080ti strix oc . Yesterday after playing call of duty ww2 for a couple of hours my computer automatically installed the latest windows update (KB4494441). Today I tried to play forza horizon 4 and I noticed some weird frame drops  (to 60 fps in 1440p-something that never happens) in a certain area so I decided to run the benchmark. The benchmark results was 122 fps while my normal results would be 132 fps ( same setting and resolution). I also tested my computer in other games. My performance was 10-20 fps lower than it is normally. In the fh4 my cpu render fps are about the expected but my gpu render frames are 131, 13 fps lower than normal ( normally I would get 142-144 fps. In the fh4 benchmark now I get 145 fps for the cpu render while normally I would hit 148 but this is a small difference. So could this be hardware performance or a result of the windows update. In call of duty ww2 my cpu reaches 70 for 2 seconds which is above the stated safe temp by amd 68 Celsius but I do t think that this caused a problem to the cpu. Also my cpu update is installed twice because After the update code (KB44.....) it has a (2) What do you think is the cause of the performance drop. Should I format my ssd and install windows again????

 

 

both my cpu and gpu are stock. My 2080ti has micron (not Samsung memory) but I don’t have artifacts or any other problems with it. Thanks in advance

Letting the os remain inconsistent with just leaving updates running and drivers updating will produce inconsistent performance. Can't expect any sort of consistency if you just let the software do whatever it wants willy nilly.

Is Windows by chance still installing the updates? I've noticed that Windows sometimes takes several hours running processes in the background which hinders system performance a bit. What is your CPU usage at idle with everything closed?

Microsoft pushed a windows update to a lot of people over the last week. My guess is you got the update last night and it gave you lower performance. Lots of people are reporting that at the moment. 

Look at your update history in windows settings to see if anything was updated or installed last night.

Now that I think of it, I got the update too and also noticed a lot more stuttering during VR gaming than usual. Also, very recently my computer will  lose its network connection whenever I wake my PC from 'sleep' mode.

Yes I mean the day before yesterday my performance was fine all day. So I played ww2 for a couple of hours and then I did the “update and shut down thing”. Yesterday morning I turned my on so the update was automatically installed before logging in windows. At first I didn’t notice anything because I didn’t do any gaming. In the afternoon when I fired up the fh4 benchmark I realize the 10-15 fps decrease. So It is like this : fine fps results -> cod ww2 and windows update-> 10-20 fps decrease in all games.

Make sure programs like GameDVR are disabled if you don't use them. Updates will turn programs like this back on sometimes. You can also contact microsoft support and ask them to walk you through rolling back the update. This is an option for 24-48 hours after an update while the Windows.old files are still accessible.
