Super Low FPS

[DarkMyths]

Hey everyone,

I think that my 1660 super is underperforming.

Just today I was playing overwatch and got a rather low amount of fps

I was getting around 40fps with massive frame drops down to 10fps

So I turned down the settings within overwatch to the low preset and still got only 50 fps with the framedrops down to 10fps

The background tasks that were open were a discord voice call and spotify

And I'm using the 12/01/2021 driver

When I looked in MSI afterburner I saw that it only reached 53 degrees Celsius

Can someone please help?

What was average FPS prior to today? 

 

The settings you are playing at? Resolution?

 

Which storage device is the game stored on? Has that changed?

 

Have you tried doing a game repair/fix(or whatever the equivalent is for overwatch)?

Prior : High settings 1080p 144 and no dramatic framedrops

It is located on 2TB HDD but can put it on an SSD

And I'm trying a repair right now

It didn't make a difference

I think that the problem lays with my gpu utilization since it goes up to 37% and won't go higher thereby limiting the frames
