Hello everyone, Im new here. I hope i posting in the correct forum.
Concern: My newly build gaming rig as nov NOV 2018, frame rate drops to point everything feels sluggish and never recovers until i have to restart the computer is and its fine for couple of hours.
Steps i've taken to attempt to resolve this issue:
- Verified thermal on both CPU/GPU ( Both of them are not throttling or seeing any danger temperatures)
- Closed any unwanted programs while gaming
( no changes)- Reinstalled the games that i play
( no changes)- Disable GameDVR
( no changes)- Used Intelligent standby list cleaner to help with any memory leaks
( no changes)- Ran scannow sfc\ ( to check for any windows errors.
( no changes)- Reseat GPU ( for the heck of it)
( no changes)- Weekly defragging on the games drive ( HDD)
( no changes)- Installed a new 4TB Samsung SSD as my games drive
( no changes)- Did a clean boot
( no changes)- Updated to latest Nvidia drivers
( no changes)- Updated to the latest motherboard bios
( no changes)- Made sure i am running windows build 1903
( no changes)- Changed windows power plan to ultra performance
( no changes)- Changed nvidia power management mode to perfer max performance
( no changes)- Disabled HPET in windows ( No options for that in my motherboard)
( no changes)- Turned off any power saving settings in my BIOS
( no changes)- Followed Yes Tech City windows optimization guide -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR1kmd9kYVY ( no changes)- Removed all overclocks CPU and GPU
( no changes)- Verified that my PSU is providing enough power to the Video card
The only 2 possible ideas that i am tossing around is that something in windows is causing this issues ( i know their has been reports that some windows updates have been causing issues with game performance). or my 1080ti is a lemon.
