I have an R7 260X Sapphire.

When I am playing my games I am getting random lag spikes to 100% usage and dropping me to like 8 fps.  I am playing CS:GO and normally have an average fps of 120+fps and an average GPU usage (accordIng to msi afterburner) of 20% when playing cs:go.  How do I fix these spikes?!?!

What are your ingame settings?

What's your CPU usage look like while playing ,particularly during these spikes?

Max 1080P. Nothing in particular (ie particles etc) it is completely random.

 

whats happening on screen during the spikes, and disable or lower the graphical setting relating to it. eg particle or smoke effects

Just a fps drop randomly

This is very strange.  I would try a couple of things:

 

-Verify integrity of game files

-Clean driver reinstall

-Increase power limit on the card with afterburner or overdrive

4K // R5 3600 // RTX2080Ti
