    [SOLVED] GPU not working properly after reapplying thermal paste

    Not overheating as far as I'm aware. The card idles at 35c even without the fans, I'm a bit concerned about stressing the card because the fans aren't working properly.

    GTA 5 GPU Usage Drops Over Time

    Hey guys. So I'm having an issue where while playing GTA 5, after around an hour or so, my GPU usage drops from the normal 98ish% to typically around the 60s. This results in my 80-90 fps in the city to drop to the 50s-60s. Additionally, my average CPU usage also seems to drop over this hour...
