consistent framerate dips

[MammothJerk]

this happens in several games

 

League of legends

 

GTA V

 

 

system specs in my signature

 

i did a clean boot with only windows services still getting this problem

 

turned off all of my overclocks

 

only started to happen recently (1-2 weeks)

 

any better way of monitoring my gpu and cpu usage with a graph? id like to get a better picture to show whats going on

Well for once with these kind of threads I am quite sure that a lack of ram isn't your problem.

It may be your thermal throttling your gpu, keep an eye on the temps of it when gaming to see how hot it gets also look at the temps of your cpu.

temp shows 32C and the drip only just happened. don;t think it's a heat problem.

 

Tried reinstalling/updating your drivers

You're running the gpus in sli? I dont know why it would cause a problem but try disabling it and see if that changes anything

May seem like a silly Q, but that limited usage could indicate Vsync being enabled.... if so, disable it in game or the NVcontrol panel.

You have not mentioned your settings,..or if Vsync is on.

Just something not mentioned yet.. (even tho you may have thought of it already)

If its off, then disregard.. (altho maybe post a screenie of your Nvidia 3D settings page, maybe something is amiss)

i always disable VSync in the games i play

new driver just released, so lets see what happens

[MammothJerk]

well... the new driver definitely helped.

 

but i found out what the real problem was.

 

it appears i cannot play games in borderless window mode without severe stuttering and frame dips.

 

i have 4 monitors so having all my screens flash black when switching from the fullscreen application to something else is really annoying.

 

i have 2 gtx 780's in SLI and a 4770k. i shouldnt be getting this problem playing with borderless window mode...

right?

[MammothJerk]

now im getting the dips even on fullscreen.

 

restarting explorer.exe fixed it this time

 

is windows the culprit now? =S
