GTX 770 Frame drop

[IsmetGS]

So when playing GTA and some other games i always get this stupid frame drops while playing the game, so i checked MSI afterburners log thing and had it up on my other screen and everytime the GPU usage dropped so did the games frames, what are the possible reasons for this usage drop that results into annoying drops in frames?

 

Thanks.

Could be poorly optimized games, can you give a rundown off your complete rig?

Also have you tried upping the games "priority" From task manager?

Do you run something on the baground that could eat /ram / cpu performance.

 

ps also some cleaning like running virus scan /malwarebytes ccleaner and plain old disk defragment also might not be a bad idea, tho I doupt it would be it but just to exclude all the variants

 

ps2. reinstalling nvidia drivers, deleting them booting and then installing new drivers rather than just updating.

 

ps3 but also maybe try changing the games profile (in Nvidia control panel, manage 3d settings) power management mode > set to prefer max performance.
