Posted December 12, 2015 In a matter of 24 hours my 980Ti performance went from 100% to 10% What I downloaded 12/10 -League of legends (250 FPS Max Settings) -Heaven Benchmark (60 FPS Ultra Settings) What I downloaded 12/11 -Skype -Steam -CS:GO (@Steam) - Lowest video settings under 50 FPS at times I can see the lag -Vindictus (@Steam) - Couldn't even handle default medium graphics (Under 60 FPS) -League of legends now became under 60fps at max settings -On the Heaven Benchmark it was still 60FPS at Ultra Settings... (This confuses me, everything else went down in performance??) Other factors -Windows updates auto (I've always been told by my dad never to do this, but everyone on the internet says to) Any way I can do a Factory Reset on Windows 10 without messing something up? I'm 100% sure its a 980Ti, MSI brand name I can see in the case window and in device manager it says 980Ti. http://imgur.com/Sxwz8js http://imgur.com/BB278VS Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/503718-underperforming-980ti-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar issue playing LOL the other day where my 980 was dipping below 60fps. Mine just seem to come good without me doing anything ...
