Why the low FPS

[AlinG]

So my PC can run games without a problem, but apparently, after a while, I experience an unusual frame-drop. When I restart the PC, it all goes back to normal, functioning perfectly. Yes, I got all the newest drivers.

How can I fix this? BTW NOT a fan of getting an older Nvidia driver hoping that it works as a fix.

 

My build is:  

Procesor Intel Pentium G4560, 3.5GHz

Motherboard MSI B250M PRO-VD

Power supply  SEGOTEP 500W

Memory HyperXFury Black 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL15

MemoryHyperX FURY Black 4GB, DDR4, 2400MHz, CL15

Solid-State Drive Samsung 850 EVO 120GB

HDD Western Digital NAS Caviar Red, 1TB, SATA III 600, 64MB Buffer

GPU Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB GDDR5 192bit

 

This is after a restart. And an hour (or more) later the frames drop and so does the GPU usage.

 

And after 1h I get low-fps.

 

I even reinstalled the windows and I got the same problem.

I would take a look at the temperatures of your CPU and GPU, might be a cooling issue.

No cooling issues, as you can see...

how much pagefile space is allowed?

seeing that the system disk is 120GB prolly in AUTO mode. move the pagefile location to the HDD.

winkey+s ->system->advanced systems settings->performance->advanced tab->virtual memory->change

now i canged it to this :

[airdeano]

yes

[AlinG]

still not working!

So roll back the driver. I know you don’t like that answer but if it’s a driver issue it’s a driver issue and until you try it you won’t know.

Also showing temps while not under load is totally useless. We need the temps under full load

What FPS are you expecting? I ran it with my 1070 and got 172fps with a score of 4356. I don’t know the exact gap between the two gpu’s but 132fps doesn’t sound too bad.

 

is it happening with different games?

can you play again with the cpu and gpu temp as part of your osd?

 

Just ran it again after swapping my 1050ti in, 71 FPS with a 1800 score.

How about information regarding the state of the system when the problem happens? Like what's the temperature then, what's the RAM usage, etc.

[TrueMegaManiac]

Probably just a driver issue. If the GPU was throttling temp wise and going down to single digit usage it'd cool down and go back up again. Could also be the game itself but more likely the drivers so just nuke them with DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller and then get new drivers, old or new from nvidia. There might also be the possibility of a memory leak so monitor ram usage to rule that out.

[AlinG]

The problem is that when this happens, all of my stats are normal: usage, temp, etc. It's not just 1 game, it's all of them. In PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS I had 80-90fps on High; when that problem appears it dropped to 1fps. 

Now what I don't understand is why when it got this frame drop issue, all on my stats look normal and I can run any GPU stress-tester and I get normal results.

 

I have been having this problem for a couple of months (during which I've been updating the driver every time a new one appeared, hoping the problem would get solved). So i got no idea which version could work.

 

[Bearded_Ed]

Have you got Fast Boot turned on in Windows power settings?

[AlinG]

Yes, I do have it turned on, but I have had this configuration set up this way since November 2017 and my problems appeared somewhere around April 2018 (I think). I know the problems Fast Boot may cause and I don't think they are related to mine since my FPS drop issue appears after keeping the pc on for a few hours.

 

Yea so apparently the longer I keep the PC on the lower the fps drops. I got 0 idea what this is.

[Husky]

It could be a memory leak. Check your RAM usage from a fresh reboot running the game, and then an hour after when it drops. Use the Performance tab in task manager and look under the memory graph. Check the amounts of “used”, “modified” and “free”.

 

It could also be the new Windows 10 April 2018 1803 Update (Spring Creators Update). You can try the “Go back to a previous version of Windows” button in the recovery settings.

[AlinG]

So yea I tried it all. Moving it to an SSD, going with an earlier version of Windows 10 (December), and nothing works.

You are running out of memory. Memory doesn't typically fill up and get stuck, but the longer and long you leave your pc on the more programs may be active in the background. There are only two ways to fix which is to keep restarting, or the better option, upgrade. 4Gb will WORK on most games, but wont be good, and some games wont even run at all, or will really tank. Upgrade to at least 8gb, and you should be fine with all games, and if you want to have other things open like discord or separate apps, go to 16gb. Long story short buy another 4 gig stick if on a budget, if not buy three more.

You have not read my PC components correctly. I have 12GB of RAM

 

Memory HyperXFury Black 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL15

MemoryHyperX FURY Black 4GB, DDR4, 2400MHz, CL15

 

Yea so I think I may have brought up a topic that nobody can solve. Cuz I tried it all and nothing seems to work and I have never heard of this problem form anybody and I am really frustrated with this. Trust me guys I fell like taking a hammer and well you know the rest. If there is anybody on this forum that has an idea pls give me a solution.
