Is my GPU broke in some way?

Specs:

Athlon x4 860k

EVGA 750Ti sc

MSI A78M-E35 V2

Seasonic 430eco

Hyper 212 evo

Some Sandisk SSD I salvaged

WD Green 1tb

 

Okay, so a few months ago I was playing games like Skyrim and Dishonored at 60fps without a hitch on max settings. I even had about 20 mods installed for skyrim and nothing was even slightly stuttering.

Fast forward to 3 days ago, I load skyrim, deicde to play a new game, and bam. 7fps in a good mood. It even went as low as 2fps. Nothing new had been installed at all on my PC for a while, nothing could've physically hit my computer and damaged the GPU, I've scoured forums upon forums trying to find fixes believing it was just an error in the game. After reinstalling it and still having this issue, I tried deleting all of my saves - this got me up to 30fps outside and 50fps inside on the lowest possible settings.

The other day I loaded up Cities: Skylines - a game where I got about 30fps on medium settings. I had a similar issue and wouldn't get anywhere over 10fps in a city of 7,000.

It's not bottlenecked because it was able to hit 60fps previously, It's currently running at 31°C and as far as i'm aware it hasn't been at dangerous temperatures. All of my components were bought brand new last september, all of my drivers are up to date - i've also tried running the nvidia driver from when I got 60fps. Vsync is disabled where possible in games that lag, and i'm just so confused as to why I'm not getting my usual performance.

Now, my monitor is running at the wonky resolution of 1842x1036, but it has been the whole time i've had my pc, it's definitely 60Hz because I can get 60fps in certain menu screens, and as I'm typing this now i'm noticing that the image on the display is jumping up and down randomly for a split second.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Have a program like afterburner up to check GPU load while you play one of the games to see what the GPU is doing. Should give you a better insight into what's going on if nothing else.

What Nvidia driver version are you using?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

It's because you have an nVidia card, I personally would go with the company little boys don't use, AMD. (This is a joke.)

Laptop specs:

CPU: Core i7 3630QM

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT630M

RAM: 16gb of unknown origin

Storage: 1tb HDD (probably going to upgrade to an SSD at some point)

Mouse: Corsair M65 Pro RGB

Yah, those drivers are broken from what I've heard. Rollback to something pre 364.7
