Huge Frame drops with 1050

[cakez]

So, I got my 1050 last month and I've been playing a lot of Fortnite and Overwatch. I was getting a constant 60FPS at pretty much the highest settings. However, recently I've been experiencing huge frame drops from 2FPS to 60FPS. It makes the games really unplayable. GPU's at 40% and CPU at 98%. Both around 50 degrees. Ram usage is also really high, even after closing browser which takes up a large majority of it.

 

Specs:

fx-6300

Gtx 1050

8 Gigs DDR3

 

Thanks

Yeah, I'm planning to get a 1600, but is there a way to fix it now? It was fine last week.

The FX 6300 has not aged well; it bottlenecks just about any modern card. Your best solution would be to replace the CPU. As a temporary solution, you attempt a modest overclock as long as you have an appropriate cooling solution.

Do you know why it ran fine at the beginning?It was at a consistent 60FPS.

Fornite has changed the way it rendered its world last week, that may have had some effect.

 

Overwatch is a CPU heavy game. If your CPU usage is spiking to 98%, I would expect there to be some frame drops. I would suggest that you drop your settings significantly and see at what point you can achieve a stable framerate. What's your memory usage when you're running the game?

I lowered all low on Fortnite and I was still experiencing the same problems. Happened less, but still happened. Memory runs around 80%-90%

Have you recently updated your Nvidia graphics driver? You might want to run a DDU from https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1002 and reinstall your graphics driver.

if you hit memory cap then you will freeze everytime when it has to fetch the data from disk
