Posted June 21, 2016 So, recently, I have been playing a lot of Overwatch with no issues whatsoever. Running smooth 90-100 fps on my 980 Ti. However, last week, I started having a framerate issue. I cracked open my PC and re-plugged in the power cords going to my GPU and that did the trick. But now, today, I am having the same issue again. I once again opened up my chasse and re-plugged in my GPU cables, as well as ALL the cables going to my power supply, but that hasn't done the trick. My GPU gets a little warm when playing Overwatch, but not overheating (No pun intended). In the MAIN SCREEN of Overwatch I was having this issue. I also lowered down the graphics settings, and restarted my computer multiple times. This has effected all of my games, some more than others. I honestly don't know what to do at this point. Any ideas? If needed, here are my specs- i7-5930k Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti WINDFORCE 16 GB Kingston HyperX Fury Black ASRock X99 Extreme4 Corsair H100i GTX EVGA SuperNova 2TB SeaGate Barracuda 120GB SanDisk SSD+ Fractal Design Define R4 Please help. If there is anything I can do other than buying a new graphics card (Don't have the money right now to buy one), I will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it. Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Posted June 21, 2016 Are only games affected? Like nothing else is weird? If that is the case, I suspect the GPU may be dying a slow death but that's just a guess. Might need to send that baby in for RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you decrease the clock speed AS WELL as the power settings. Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.
