Poor PC considering high spec

[Disperse]

I am a semi pro overwatch player and i need help with my FPS drops problem. I had this PC for nearly a year, the early months were fine I was capping 300 consistently and dropped to 220 at really stressful moments on lowest settings possible 1920 x 1080 and 100 render scale. It was getting worse but by bit but I didn’t really care since it wasn’t too much of an issue (220-280 consistent). This month it got really bad dropped to 80 and the highest was 240 but it varied a lot and was extremly inconsistent meaning a lot of screen tearing and making the game hard overall( please note I know difference between 144 and 240 isn’t much but the fact it drops all the time goes back up then even goes to 80 is really bad. So I decided to make the resolution 1280 x 720 with 50 render scale and it looks like I’m playing an arcade game but it still helps the FPS a little now it’s (100-240) but still varies and drops.

 

I tried a lot of solutions like running overwatch as admin. Reinstalling driver trying previous ones. Reinstalled windows. Deleted razor synapse corshair iq and GeForce experience. I minimize the tabs that are in use and put overwatch on high priority in task manager. I also lowered the settings from the nvidia control panel it self. 

 

Specs:

i9 900K 

RTX 2080 Strix OC 

Corshair vengeance 16gb 

Asus motherboard IX Hero WIFI

 

I will edit this post soon to add in my benchmarks 

 

YES I am wary I may need to return the gpu or cpu since I have figured that may be the problem but any other solutions would be nice before I start returning hardware(I have warranty on multiple of my hardware so it’s fine if I need to resort to that)

Edit: The temps are not a problem I re applied thermal paste already. The temps are 37-38.

Does sound hardware-y

 

I mean do the less drastic things like reseating RAM, etc.

 

But like you said, might be the GPU... make sure it's not cooking itself and it has adeuqate cooling

Might also try to run Dr. Web CureIt! or Emsisoft Emergency Kit just to be sure.

One more thing that might help is the problem is in software - Dism++, Win10Tweaker and some other things that can tweak Windows and turn off some things (or clean your SSD/HDD).

Link to GDrive folder in my signature has everything except virus scanning tools.

Dammit, I wanted to say about thermal stats... Thanks for reminder.

To OP: If temps are ridiculous even with 100% fan speeds, I'd suggest reapplicating thermal paste using something as good as MX-4.

First thing to check is always thermals, download MSI afterburner or something, open it, play for a while and check what the max CPU and GPU temps were.

 

BTW what case do you have?

@Spakes sorry I forgot to state in the post the temps are fine actually they are actually pretty low. 37-40. Yes I will install msi afterbunrer

@Bananasplit_00 I have a be quiet dark base case (not sure the exact one but it has 2 fans on the side) I got the 3 fans with the gpu and 1 cooler master fan.

Try FurMark + AIDA64 stress tests to make sure. Leave them for 15-60 minutes and post results here (don't forget to tag me when you'll post results).
