GPU Load drops to 0

[R3mixz]

Hey again...  I have a issue again..

 

i3 4170 3.7

8gb RAM

GTX 960 2gb

1TB Storage

 

I've been playing games now and then, and I'm getting an sudden drop whilst gaming. I kept thinking it's my CPU seeing that i3's are not really ment for gaming but then I installed RivaInstaller to monitor my CPU and GPU load. I realised when I all of a sudden freeze, my GPU load drops to 0 then goes back to 70 - 99. This happens on most games, like Arma 3, The Division and SAMP ( GTA:San Andreas Multiplayer). It's so annoying and affects my game play and its unplayable. So how can I fix this?

Go back to the older driver. Latest Nvidia drivers are shit

DDU, download it manually, install and don't update

Don't update drivers to the latest.

Oh I didn't know

 

So how do I downgrade it? And what version is the best for my gtx 960?

Go to device manager in windows and then go to display adapters and right click your graphics card.click driver tab and click roll back driver.

361.75 was the last stable one I think. Just use DDU, remove the driver, remove GFE, remove 3D Vision, remove Nvidia CP and download it manually from Guru3D

Use DisplayDriverUninstaller

Here is a link to the driver I use.

358.91 Is very stable for me.

 

Make sure to do a clean install, and do not install any extra features.

 

If you do not mind using a older driver, the GTA V Release driver was amazing.
