GTX 960 FPS DROPS.

[Azade12]

I've been getting an all around 20 fps decrease in games. One of them is Overwatch, I could run it on max before where i get a consistent 35 where i would get about 65 before.

I've seen that my card has been using about half its vram as it did before, 900mb now.

It just stays around the high to mid 900s. Even though everything else about the gpu is the same.

Even the temperature increases gradually as normal.

PC Specs?
GPU Drivers upto date?

Try performing a clean installation with the latest drivers through the 'Geforce experience'

I had a performance hit with my GTX980m on the last driver update, and it works beautifully again.

Hope this helps.

Check the nVidia control panel and see if it's actually using your integrated gpu. If it is, then change it to your main gpu.

I5-6600K 

GTX 960

16G DDR4 RAM

600W Powersupply bronze.

 

I updated the drivers, I even used DDU when that didn't work.

Try removing the Geforce Experience, as the newer one has some weird bugs.

I have the same computer as you. It's most likely the drivers or GeForce experience. and make sure you are using the ports on your GPU not Motherboard.

My frames have not dropped at all. I am on an ADSL connection so I don't update my drivers often.

It's still the same.

It's still the same, even after doing a clean install of my drivers with DDU.

Overheating issue? Check if there is any dust in your pc; gpu to be specific.

Cleaned it out the other week, temperatures still the same as before, same with the CPU.

Do you have any restore points? If you do, restore your pc back to when it was working normally.

[Azade12]

I tried that 6 hours ago, it just gives me a "Turn of your PC" option, nothing else.

After saving newer things on something else.

After going into advanced recovery, its just turn off your pc. Nothing else.

Last resort: reinstall windows, that usually fixes all of your problems.

[ivan134]

You probably need to go back to older drivers.

I had old drivers which I updated, with the exact same performance.

Any other solutions?

[Ironwhale2009]

Maybe some software you have installed has mining software embedded into it.

but if not, clean install O.S.

 

Also make sure that the card is receiving adequate power, and update your bios.

 

perhaps the card is clocking down due to heat/power draw, but I'm probably talking breeze,

[jarhe302]

uninstall and reinstall your drivers. had the same problem with my gtx 960
