Horrible fps drops

[Fleck99]

I recently noticed Im getting horrible fps drops on my decent pc.I was playing saints row 4 and the fps ocasionally drops to 1 digits and the game even freezes sometimes for a couple seconds.I tried ghost recon wildlands too and the fps did drop from 60 to 24 at a time.Whats causing these fps drops?They happen like every 10mins or so and its really annoying.Im sure its not because of temps because everything is well below throttling temps.Specs are i5 8600 gtx 1080 and 8gb ram.I noticed GPU usage going to 0 for a second when the drops happen.

I think you might have a bad gpu, I am new to PCs but that 100% sounds like a gpu problem to me, if your playing games, i dont think there should be a reason for usage to drop to 0...

Sucks too, cuz 1080s are fucking expensive lmao

It’s only about 2 months old.Im not sure if it’s gpu because benchmarks run fine and in game it reaches 99% except when it drops.
