    [SOLVED] Unusual CPU Utility

    Didn't seem to make a difference, still have the same spikes. I think if it's something using my cpu its not listed by process monitor since it should be very obvious. Mbam would have to be using like 60% of my cpu to cause this issue I think, which doesn't seem to be the case.

    [SOLVED] Unusual CPU Utility

    Hi again, I've been busy lately so it took me a while but I gathered some more data (see below), this time with process monitor. I'm now pretty confident that the issues I'm having are due to my cpu not being fully utilised for whatever reason. I ran some gameplay and roughly recorded where my...

    [SOLVED] Unusual CPU Utility

    Thanks I'll give this a shot. Do you know if there's a way to record logs over time? Unfortunately I don't have a second monitor so keeping track of process explorer during gameplay will be tough. Maybe I could stream the window to my phone or something.

    [SOLVED] Unusual CPU Utility

    Hmm ok. I have recorded logs in better performing games (overwatch) and the alternating pattern is no longer present which is why I thought this could be the issue. Of course I'm not expecting the values to be constant but the strange consistency with which it alternates does stand out to me. I...

    [SOLVED] Unusual CPU Utility

    Hi, Recently my pc has been having some fps issues so I recorded a log during some gameplay. The graph shows CPU utility alternating for seemingly no reason. Task manager doesn't show anything running and I recently windows reset my pc so I don't think it's malware. Is it possible this is a...

    [SOLVED] Incredibly low fps for seemingly no reason

    I'll do some more digging and consider replacing my psu then. Thank you so much for all the feedback, you've been a great help :)

    [SOLVED] Incredibly low fps for seemingly no reason

    Several times the performance limit reason went from utilization to reliability voltage. What does this mean and how can I go about fixing it? The cpu clock graph alternates between ~1600MHz and ~3400MHz in roughly 1 minute intervals. Is this expected? Can I assume that windows reset would've...

    [SOLVED] Incredibly low fps for seemingly no reason

    Log reported no thermal throttling of CPU or GPU. These graphs are from the end of a ror2 game. Performance generally got worse as the game progressed (as you'd expect since more enemies spawn). One point of significance was at around 1 minute where I had almost a full 60 seconds of 60fps...

    [SOLVED] Incredibly low fps for seemingly no reason

    RoR2 is one of the more demanding games I play regularly so it's the only one I've seen drop to 1fps. I have had poorer than expected performance in other games such as Heroes of the Storm, Skyrim, Overwatch. I don't think the issue is exclusively with ror2. I've made a log using HWiNFO. What...

    [SOLVED] Incredibly low fps for seemingly no reason

    Hi, For a while now my pc has been running incredibly poorly (in games that used to run fine) for seemingly no reason. My current specs are: i7-3770 CPU @ 3.4GHz Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti 2x8GB DDR3 ram 1TB SSD ECS H61H2-MV mobo Attempted fixes: Full windows reset Updated all drivers to latest...
