Constant fps dips

[benjamin123]

Hi, 

 

I have been playing apex legends and noticed that every so often, the fps will dip from 300 to 110fps. At first i thought that since it was a fast action shooter, maybe my pc cannot keep up with it. Recently, I installed League of legends and played on it. To my surprise, my league games also dip from 300 fps all the way down to 35 fps. These fps dips happens multiple times and maybe for like 1-2 secs. 

 

I have hwinfo up as i'm runnning 4 screens. The cpu is not overheating and is constantly at around 4.5-4.8ghz while gaming and temps are about 68-72 degree celsius. My Gpu, I have afterburner up monitoring and it doesnt go above 75 degrees celsius. 

 

Anyone have any idea on what may cause this issue?

My pc specs

Cpu: Ryzen 9 5950x

Ram: crucial ddr4 64gb 3200

Mobo: Gigabyte Vision DP b550- F16e bios

cpu cooler: artic freezer 280mm

Gpu: Zotac 3080 ti 

ssd: p5 plus 2tb

psu: corsair rmi 750w

Windows 11

do these dips happen if you go single monitor with the rest disabled via windows?

do they happen during specific time in game during heavy confrontation

have you tried lower settings rtx on vs off

checking if your GPU is using performance vs power saving mode.

Your temps are just one factor 

your core clocks could be dropping to maintain temps so those dips would be it slowing down and ramping up.

I have not tried it with a single monitor but it was fine before so I didn't think that it would be an issue. yea triple A titles do not seem to have that issue only esports titles. I've played cyberpunk on max settings with raytracing and don't see this fps dip.  yes I do have my cpu and gpu clock speeds up and they are turboing just fine.

 If the only common factor is esport titles. It is just a matter of isolation of the key similarities. 

 

Do they use the same anti cheat?

Are the using different game engines?

Do they behave the same regardless of the graphics settings?

Was there ever a time with this system it didn't have this behavior.

What has changed since then?

i don't believe they use the same anti cheat. 
yes no matter its max graphics or the lowest it will still happen. 
it happened about 3 months ago i just didnt bother to find whats wrong with it. I might just reinstall windows and see if its still happens

sounds like a solid plan considering the time line.
