system upgrade

was wandering if anyone could help me in some games i am experiencing frame drops some times immediately when i'm in game or some appear after a while of gaming when i have on screen display up it shows my GPU is usually ruining quite hot and at 100% while my CPU sits around 70% load below is a list of my PC components its running on a 144hz 1440p Samsung monitor.

Something else has to be going on here.
There's not a reason a 7700k and a 1080 should be giving you massive frame drops outside of rendering at 8k, or pushing settings well beyond reasonable in some other way.

When you say quite hot, what exactly do you define that as?
Also, your resource monitoring, what's it showing when you see these drops?

Consider fiddling with graphics settings, see if it improves any, also consider switching from borderless windowd/fullscreen windows to exclusive fullscreen. Windows 10 is known to have bizarre issues with things like this. Diablo III in my case, for example, runs at a solid 8-10 FPS when borderless, but 120+ when exclusive.

thanks for the reply

 

i generally see GPU temps get easily in to the 80s if not high 80s and occasionally low 90s i have noticed fps drops more since i have started playing planet zoo that is in fullscreen and usually after a little time of playing for example when the park has quite a few animals and around 2700 guest it runs okay zoomed out but the minute you try zooming in fps drops massively.

the only other thing which i haven't checked yet is if it is memory locked and not taking advantage of how much ram i have on offer

Issues specifically related to Planet (insert game here) revolve around their engine limitations. It's something that's existed since Planet Coaster. You hit that wall where the game environment itself just isn't capable of keeping up with everything that's going on.

As for your temperatures, you may want to consider reapplying your thermal paste, optimizing your airflow (or unrestricting your airflow through various means (be it less intake restriction, higher SP fans, a higher RPM, ETC).
