Heavy frame drops in games.

[MeowPappa]

Issue:-
I been playing overwatch for a long time and for a long time I been suffering from heavy frame drops. That's is, from 70 down to 20. I used amd logs feature to diagnose the issue and noticed that every few minutes the power level drops to 0 causing the frame drops. 

What I did:-
Basically everything except a windows reset.
That includes GPU driver reinstall using DDU.
Underclocking, overclocking, under/ over volting.etc

I am hesitant to do a reset because I did it once few months before and it didn't really help and it's really painful to reinstall all the software .

Everything is updated. The issue occurs in other games too. I play on low settings.

My diagnose:-
It's some software issue. Because I did install overwatch via lutris on Linux and the game runs fine except a few drops rarely but thats like 5-10fps max.

Specs:-
i5 3320 (4 cores)
Rx 460
8gb ram
SSD to boot and run the game.

 

I really want to exhaust all options before reinstalling windows. For people thinking why I can't just to linux. It's because one windows has lower latency, two works better with my gaming mouse, third display overclocking is possible in windows. Etc.

 

If you guys want the log. I will upload it .
