Frame drops in games

[Cesar753Mex]

In some games I have seen that my fps drops from hi 60s to low 10 in total war warhammer, and in cs go (which I personally limit to 140fps) from 140 to low 20s. 

My pc specs are

Mobo: Msi x99a gaming 7 

Cpu: i7 6800k at 4.2gz

Ram: 16 GB of corsair vengeance at 2800mhz

Gpu: gtx 1080 founders edition 

Power supply : corsair 750 rm gold certified

Hd: 240g intel 535 SSD and 1tb Wd blue 7200

Cpu cooler: corsair h100 v2

Case: NZXT phantom 

Monitor : asus PG278Q  (1440p)

When I had my gtx 970 I didn't have this issue

try Kboost on the GPU I might think

[Thony]

My guess is unstable CPU clock or GPU clock.

Heat??

Gpu stays between 70c and 80c

Cpu : idle 35c, while gaming between 50c and 63c

when I started using Kboost my fire strike stability score is now at 99.5% well that and I got a extra fan on the GPU's now.

I have no idea, maybe a re-seat, or a driver reinstall with DDU.

So you changed a part of your hardware and had issues afterwards on a previously, as I assume, perfectly working system?

 

Boils down to 3 options:

1.) you installed the hardware incorrectly.

2.) you installed the software incorrectly.

3.) the GPU you got is damaged.

 

 

Go to nvidia.com, download the newest driver then reboot your PC and use DDU in safemode to completely remove your Nvidia driver. Reboot into normal windows after and install your previously downloaded new driver.

If it still happens after doing it, do the same again but this time put back in your old GPU, if you still have it, and see if the issue appears on it aswell - if not, return the 1080 as its not working properly.

 

Edit: also check your powersettings, both in windows and BIOS, and make sure they are not on "powersafing" or such.

1.) Kboost does nothing more than to force your GPU(s) to run at full-speed all the time basically, even when it is entirely not required, like in desktop idle. So the only improvement you are going to see is an higher score on your power bill. Essentialy its nivida control panels "maximum performance"-setting on steroids.

 

2.) kboost is EVGA exclusive, he has a founders edition card - meaning a card directly designed by Nvidia, so it does not even have that feature.

Even so it sure helped my stability

It did help your boost-clock stability yes but that is not exactly relevant to this topic nor to OPs problem. Even if he could enable KBoost and it would actually fix his issue, the driver or the card itself would still be faulty if it does what it does without it. KBoost is an overclock, if you need to overclock a product to make it do what it is supposed to do then it is not working as intendet. Fixating a boost clock is probably gona give you a few more FPS, but loosing 130FPS out of nowhere is a whole different story.

 

Since we are offtopic here allready:

Can you turn k boost on/off without a PC restart on the 980? I've seen videos from the 10xx series cards, where they dont need to restart the PC anymore but no idea when exactly they did implement kboost in a way that you can just turn it on/off with ease.

I don't need a reboot but it does always ask me to close everything that is running it seems, might just be this fan that is giving me stable runs?
