Sudden fps drops

Blaze2k · June 5, 2018

So as the title says during summer for the first time after 2 years of not having any kind of problem I have now. During this season where the temperature of my country is at around 30+C all day I am gaming at constant 71-75C CPU temps and around 60 on GPU. I am facing a problem where as I play at those temps my CPU temp will sharply decrease from 71-75C to around 50-55C making my GPU usage drop from 90-95% to 30-40% resulting in a massive fps drop count at around 20-30fps from 100+ it doesn't last long but it is quite annoying and frustrating to lose not because of skills but because of hardware issues. I did some research but I didn't find any reason to why my temperatures drop from my CPU. Some of the games I play Destiny 2, Overwatch, Rust, Rainbow Six Siege. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you for your time.

just hunch but thermal throttling. use msi afterburner and monitor your CPU and GPU temps. Your GPU is not 60C when you play games. I am pretty sure about that. It should reach high 80s.
