Framerate dropping in game

Hi!

 

I've been noticing my framerate dropping when, for example, i'm in a game of LoL. I will start out with a 300-ish FPS but when i'm about 20m in game the FPS will drop down all the way down to the 150's..

My GPU has a small OC (Core: 1410, mem: 7300) but is running stable. My GPU isn't throttling (temps around 55°C) and I don't see any artifacting. While in game my core clock doesn't go down. 

 

Can anyone tell me what this means? 

 

Thnx

Ive a display that goes to 144hz and LoL will stay there and i know that it will be higher than that, but there is no display on earth atm that can hold the greatness of 300fps. And tvs that have 800hz is not the same as monitors 144hz. Its really bad advertised.

There is no consumer display that can keep up with thoes framerates anyway so it's not at all a issue.

 

It's not the monitor, no stuttering or tearing. It's just the framerate that gets halved when i'm in a long game. The first 20m will always be fine. It will only drop after that.

It still won't matter because no display can go more than 144hz so even when your framerates are halved they are still faster than any display on the market.

It's your gpu recognizing that it doesnt need to work as hard as you want it to be

Like a game of OSU will not stress your GPU much at all

I'm not talking about my monitor. I'm just asking WHY the FPS suddenly drops after a certain point.

Im talking about the fact that you are lying about your 300 FPS.

Why the hell does it matter if you still get the same frame rate displayed on your monitor.

It doesn't matter at all. I don't care if I get 150, 300 or 400. I just wanted to know why it drops at a certain point.

it's scaling down the usage for power saving

Your gpu might not showing it since it's already scaled beyond limitation

and LoL isn't GPU bound games

 

when frame drops scaled down, CPU load maybe go lower.

but even if it's not, why not just limit it to 60/120?

So it isn't an indicator that there is anything wrong? It's just power saving? 

Yea, I might cap it at 120.
