Random lag

[NiiiKK.]

recently i've been getting random fps drops out of nowhere, rocket league fps drops from 250 to 30 and it lags like hell.

i try to alt tab and everything is so laggy even tho GPU/CPU temps are fine and task manager shows everything low usage.

and all of sudden it just freezes and display gives no signal for 2 seconds and it comes back getting better. been having the fps drops issue for 2 months now but occasionally

and now it happens every day. what could this be?

If you download NZXT's CAM software you can monitor your computers temps and frequencies from your smartphone. That could be a better way of seeing what its doing without needing to alt tab out.

It's not only happening in games cuz as I was posting this thread my pc was lagging like hell and kept showing no display for few seconds and comes back and still laggy

Might be an idea to look at the temperatures on your GPU. I've seen GPUs black out then come back up again with overheating, I changed the T-Paste and it fixed the issue.

Temps are fine imo, its 65-70c. Considering its 2060 FE I think that's normal

Should correct this, I meant 65-70c while playing rocket league, idle temps are 40c

That sounds well within safe ranges. Hopefully the GPU isn't developing a fault.

So the slot should be enough to power the GPU to display even a 2D desktop, if this was a power interruption issue.  Not saying it cant be the PSU, but to me - this is a GPU going dead.  Have another to test in that system?

No I don't, it's only been a year since I bought this pc. I used to have pc not booting up and giving black screen with no kB/m. It started occasional and happened frequent and I replaced CMOS battery and it fixed it for 6 months now. Whenever I shut down pc when I'm having this lag issue and turn it on instantly it gives me the old issue again. And I have to try couple of times later to turn it on.

CMOS just holds BIOS data, you can boot without a battery present and it wont cause any issues.  Just each time you boot up it will say "NO CMOS PRESENT" or something.

 

Can you run Task Manager while playing showing all logical CPU cores and go game for a minute, once the black screen occurs - and then fixes itself, alt tab out and take a full screenshot of the data in Task Manager.  That way we can see usages during that time - what is dropping out specifically.

will do, i just monitored some more using NZXT Cam and noticed when ever my frames drops my gpu usage is only going higher to 80-90%. keep in mind aswell that the scenes are not different considering freeplay is just driving around the stadium in circles

yeah i knew that but somehow it fixed the issue for 6months and now the pc only wont boot if i shut down right after i get lag issue. it works fine if i start after awhile

10-4 so are you saying it drops from 100% usage to 80-90's?  May be a CPU issue as if the GPU doesn't have frame time available it wont utilize the card.

 

Full system specs as well please

no, my GPU usage is consistent 50% while its locked at 250 and jumping to 80-90% when frames drop

Based solely on description your GPU is trying to recover some of the failure somewhere else (I.E. building frame times via the CPU).  Id be curious what the CPU usage is now at this time.  With that being said, if you are running your RAM at 3000mhz that is technically out of spec for the CPU, and short term to trouble shoot you can see if dropping the XMP/DOCP profile stops this from happening (to rule out RAM as an issue)

Yup, disabled xmp profile yesterday and still no luck, could it be my monitors freesync. I enabled freesync for my monitor couple months ago so it's 75hz instead of 60hz.

 

Edit: my CPU usage is same around 20%

No CPU changes, only GPU.  RAM not the issue - how about storage.  Can you run CrystalMark on your drives?
