Unstable GPU with frame dips

[Majorhavoc257]

So i have noticed that when i play most games i get this random drop.  cant figure out why.  i have a 8700K and 16gb corsair vengeance rgb pro@ 3600Mhz paired with a 1080 founders,  latest drivers.

You can see in the graph that there is a drop. This happens in all games.  its getting to the point where i dont even want to play games anymore. please help me.  all stock clocks

do you see the fps graph on the top right.  also dont think you can really see it since it just 60 fps.  and i have a 144hz screen so i can see it all the time

ah yeah i slowed down the video and i can see the FPS counter drop to 125 FPS, that's very strange it seems like it has a pattern it's not random.

 

according to the frame counter, it happens every 200 frames, that's interesting

If it only happens when you look a certain way, thats normal.

If it happens periodically and always recovers, its probably something in the background taking up CPU cycles and causing a bottleneck until its complete.

im going to try changing priority of doom and see what happens

i can't help but think this is a driver issue, it seems like you're using a really old Nvidia driver, so update it

In frequency or severity?

so frequency is the same but severity is much less.
