Oh, ok.  but...

i upped my graphics to like max graphics and i only lost 2 fps, like my games run amazing, its just for short seconds it takes a shit

That's strong evidence for a CPU bottleneck.  It could explain the frame dips you're experiencing since CPU bottleneck is often associated with stutter.

I don't think we need any benchmarks at this point... We just need to confirm if it's a CPU power issue or if there is something else going on.  I'm trying to think of what we could try next...

That is interesting... as long as something didn't change without you knowing, a sudden drop in performance seems to rule out a hardware insufficiency ...

i did remove my second gpu, a gtx 650 but all it was doing was running a second monitor and i removed cause it was blocking my fans from having good airflow and I was getting like 70 degrees sometimes so i took it out thinking it was causing the issue

Oh, here's an idea: what is your GPU temperature while playing?  It might be thermal throttling - that would explain intermittent framerate drops, and would be consistent with the issue just showing up one day (dust build-up)

Did you change modes in the game at all? Like fullscreen vs borderless windowed?

It wasn't acting as a PhysX card or anything?

did the problems start right when you added it or was it a bit later?

like at least 6 months later

It has to be some software thing... and you said this has been happening for about a month?  have you tried the very latest drivers?  If that doesn't help, could you try rolling back to something before 364, like 361 or something in that range?

Yes, apply all windows updates, BIOS, and anything else if you haven't, and update your drivers to the latest version.

 

See if that works.

 

If not, try installing a much older driver like 361 since people have been having trouble with maxwell since 364

 

It might be dying but I don't have enough evidence for that yet.

try rolling back to the older nvidia drivers that you didn't have issues with. Also is your 8370 stock or overclocked, anything like that?
