17fps limit in every game

[Koza]

Hey guys, Im experiencing a really strange bug... I am unsure what is causing this but in every game i play my fps is capped at 17 or 16fps. I have an i5 6500 and an R9 390x.
In GTA V I cannot achieve over 17fps and need to restart to get higher fps. In BF1 and star wars battelfront i get a capped 17fps.....
In mafia 3 i cannot achieve higher than 17 fps either.
My PC is more than capable at achieving 60fps in gta v and it was once able to. idk what i have changed but somehow i cannot get more than 17fps.
This is a problem in most games and seems to go away after i restart but comes back later.
Thanks - Kosta
btw my GPU usage is at a constant 100% with occasional dips to 98%, in most games i get 75 to 80% CPU usage

Note: In league of legends i can get 300fps because it is easy to run, idk why this game is different. Btw my drivers are updated and i believe it is a software bug and not hardware

17 fps is pretty aweful for that gpu, that's a pretty decent gpu.  I'd use DDU to uninstall your current drivers and reinstall if that doesn't fix it I'd try rolling back to previous driver versions.

If your GPU is getting too hot, it will throttle down and the result will be lower FPS in games.

 

Also, check the Crimson/Wattman software to make sure you do not have any Frame Limits active in those games.

I will try to check the programs, it isnt too hot and is around 65c. I might uninstall my drivers, Thanks

Ill reinstall drivers and ill check if that works, Thanks for the reply :). It is probs a software issue so thanks.

That's really strange because I'm having the exact same issue but with a different GPU. Hope you get it fixed , though.

EDIT: Try this: Switch between fullscreen and windowed , does the fps get back to normal?

Check if your memory speed is stuck at 150mhz.
