Dear all,

My PC had been running smoothly for over a year but recent performance fluctuates.
While gaming, the PC will suddenly lag (or unplayable) for around 10 seconds and game resume smoothly.

I used 3D mark to run a stress test and failed to pass with a score of 87.7%.
Attached analysis for reference and would like to ask for your kind suggestions in resolving the outstanding issue

no but you should look in to the evga controversy on there 10 series ? I choose the 980ti over a 10 series card of course when I seen this evga 980ti hybrid for 411$ at newegg I added to cart

[example of issues]

dude I sure would not base the card on that test thing it did not pass for me in my first few trys then had that one pass out of the blue

thing is one run I went and used the frame limiter and capped the FPS to 60 and did not pass got just like in that link I gave where it looped the 20 times and at the end with the scores showed it only looped once [1time] ??????? when I sat here a watch it loop 20 times and also...

Your resolutions are weird.

GPU clock is a little low.

But you really need to tell us more, like a full detail system specs including every piece of hardware inside your computer case, what your the temperatures are for your cpu/gpu while the stress test is running, ect.

Actually, don't worry about it.

Your computer didn't crash, the stress test is just weird, I only get a 93% on it. (though I am having to run the test by remotely connecting to my computer so that could explain why it fluctuates)

What about the other stress tests? the extreme test is actually for like 1440p computers, and again is a stress test.

I can pass the skydiver stress test with a 99.9%, and we basically have the same hardware (mkIII in my sig)

Thanks but i dont understand why my PC would drop FPS sharply for 10 seconds then resume back to normal, this has never happened before.
In addition, my Displayport cable is tightly connect to the graphic card, but i accidentally push my desktop, the screen will fill with smear/tear in which i will have to force restart my computer

Your display port cable could be a cable or monitor issue, you'll have to check out both and see what's the cause.

Those stress tests aren't.... good? or they're more stressful than what your computer can handle.

Try the Skydiver stress test.

You may have some software installed that's causing it, you might try stopping all non-essential programs.

Also if you updated to the latest Geforce Experience, go into the general options and turn off the Share slider.

PSU is Corsair HX1000i

Another issue i wish to mention is that i uses razor keyboard & mouse. Whenever i turn off my desktop, the keyboard & mouse will still have lights on if i hit any key ? Is that something to do with faulty motherboard?

just see drops when the test changes from one type of test load to the next ? the bench changes the during the run to put a load on this or that or combined ?/ its not a steady same all the way through

do you use your OSD like with running afterburner / precision x in the background ? you will see how the ''map'' changes and the drop when it does then reboosts as you go ?

also its easy to hit your cards power limit [around 270w] with fire strike and that will also cause this type of throttling

then if that blue line in temps is your card maybe close to that as well depending on its bios setting to throttle [almost 90c at that one spot ??] temp on Maxwell is a thing and they like cold some report cards throttling at as low as 65c ?

?? don't know only use afterburner or precision x - if it anything like asus suite for the motherboard I would not use or trust it [more opinion]

look at this

http://imgur.com/YDTq3pV

that to me is way too much orange in the blue field that card is easily hitting its power caps then throttling occurs each time most times its hittinh its voltage limit or its max watts [most 980ti cards are set for 270/5 w and you have to do a bios mod ]

Board power limit
Target: 250.0 W
Limit: 275.0 W

Thermal limits
Rated: 83.0C
Max: 91.0C
your graph shows in that temp your right in that ?

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/172890/evga-gtx980ti-6144-150527

you should tell us what exact card you got '' Asus GTX 980ti 6GB'' ??? so many from asus looking at your clocks I guess a reference card ?

https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/GTX980TI6GD5/overview/

I cant run that extreme only got a 1080 monitor [ I can but ?? ] that ultra/ extreme run is for folks with 4k multi gpu's or something to handle it ?? maybe run normal firestrike ,

maybe in the end you running the test that's for more then you got to handle it ?/

well back to what I said

''In the example below, you can see that the system failed the test because its average frame rate dropped from 59 FPS to 51 FPS after the GPU reached its peak temperature. 3DMark shows that the system was not able to maintain a consistent level of performance under load. It had throttled down its performance when hot, suggesting that better cooling may be needed''

thing I feel with these so called ''stress '' test they could do you more harm then good and could ''stress'' your card or what ever to the point of failure or damage ..

another thing is if you look at 900 cards from the get go you will see how folks looking to get water coolers for them and hard to find or maybe just one available did not fit there cards ?? I went with a evga 980 ti hybrid max temps on it are 48c its now down with it maxwells dislike of voltage and power limits ..

maybe just a fact that test you run could only pass with a bios mod and exotic cooling of the card to help from banging all nvidias limitations ??

no I think the ultra or extreme test is for more then you got and can handle ???? I can run ultra or extreme but I know its not going to pass them on a single card and one or 2 1920 × 1080 monitor ?

''My PC had been running smoothly for over a year but recent performance fluctuates''

could be due to you installed the latest driver not all drivers are the same and just because its a new driver don't make it a better driver ? same os ?? maybe you went to win-10 ? maybe a windows update affected something ? with games like from steam and origin or uplay you accept and agreed to mandatory content , downloads or what ever they decide to do to your computer as they see fit ?? they could of made changes to your computer under your nose you agreed to that ''with out limitations'' [ I have nothing from them in any way on any of my computers , no way keep your games and content don't want or need them that bad]

so with just all that in mind you could change out hardware and in a week be right back where you are now ..


why not just run regular fire strike 'benchmark'' not stress test and post your scores

http://imgur.com/BLA7QfW

last time on a different driver I scored 13850 ?? so it can change with every run not like OMG my score dropped 200 points I need a new card or psu or southings wrong , just the way it is and taken with a grain of salt

in the end only you do whats best for you

then things as this ??

Thank you so much for the explanation but I am still confused why my PC is acting up recently. While in any game, I will experience a sudden freeze for 5- 10 seconds and then restore afterward. Could it be PSU ? If I change to GTX 1080 (which apparently consume less power) will then help to solve the issue

hard to say ? could be a hard drive issue ? memory ? ect...

''PSU is Corsair HX1000i '' power should not be a issue unless the unit just went bad

you could try hwinfo 64 and monitor the 12v+ to see how low it goes I think ATX spec it 1.40 v ??

http://imgur.com/AvRnRgU


you can see how close my card peaked to that power limit - I seen it up to 276w on some runs

http://imgur.com/N4V6t5Q

Board power limit
Target: 250.0 W
Limit: 275.0 W


now like I said above like with a program as like using '' do you mean their default GPU Tweak II ''

''I eventually found out that the cause of these freezes was a program that constantly monitored my CPU temp and reported it through an on screen display. I stopped using that but could still sense some freezes, so I closed MSI afterburner, and no freezes! I ''

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/350243-33-split-freezes-game

thing is something could of changed maybe auto updated and just a buggy update like the guy above brought up about gforce experience that's something I never install , just the driver and control panel - PhysX [some times I don't install it ]

I'd look back to where you realy started to notice all this and see anything you installed or changed

http://www.howtogeek.com/166911/reliability-monitor-is-the-best-windows-troubleshooting-tool-you-arent-using/

http://www.howtogeek.com/123646/htg-explains-what-the-windows-event-viewer-is-and-how-you-can-use-it/


maybe do a clean driver install of a older driver you knw worked well before , matter of fact for this 980ti I'm still on 355.82 I try the later ones but come right back to it [don't mean its the best just works out for me the best may not you ?? ]

well ??? if them sereen shots were taken during the test as mine was [firestrike ] see how your gpu clock only maxed to 999.8 ?? look at mine at 1752.8??? then just 54% load ?

you need to run that hwinfo64 in the back ground and run firestrike to get its max readings on everything if you did not [don't use extreme just the normal one for 1080 ]

I don't have sli or a monitor to run the higher tests to help compare the 980ti's we used [ I got a z87 4650 980ti ]

what excat asus 980 ti ??? theres like 4 different models ?

if its a reference one then your card seemed to boost correctly 1202.3 and 1.193 v looks right as well on that part

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img922/2645/YGFeV6.png


your psu 12v+ looks good [better then mine under that load ]

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img921/4565/7NAmXB.png


I never ran that stress test part of things [i don't trust them could cause something to just fail and get damaged if not super carefull ] I can try it but ??? give me a few min to see how it goes ..

did not pass for me as well I guess like said here maybe buggy cause I score great in the bench mark part

http://imgur.com/BLA7QfW

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/3dmark-stress-test-is-bugged-i-think.224109/page-2

like that one guy said about it looped 20 times but only showed it looped 1 time ??

i don't know i guess i have toi dig in to that some ?

so what is your normal bench test score ? [not the stress test ]


well 3ed times a charm ??? it passed

http://imgur.com/Ak24Pbi

I don't know , i'll go with buggy

now 2 things between your card and mine first is I have a hybrid so I don't see any thermal throttling [as you can see my max temp for the 20 loops was only 40c ] 2ed between that and voltage throttling may come in to play

if you got something like precision x or afterburner at default settings only adjust the power cap / target slider all the way up as it allows you to [mine is 110% ] nothing else and apply just that

so that may help overcome the voltage throttling some and may help pass [ that is all part of gpu boost 2.0 on 900 cards and set in the cards bios at NVidia spec]

never used that asus tool ??? try the power target slider up to 110% if that 100% is the default just add 10%

http://imgur.com/7BHkj1F


now one more thing you may want to do is try some better fan speed profiles to help lower the cards max temps the best you can at full load

the cooler you can get it the lees chance of that thermal throttling and these cards can throttle at as low as 65c as some have reported [nothing drastic ]

but 85c your at high risk

like seen from this on a asus strict

Thermal limits
Rated: 83.0C
Max: 91.0C

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/182581/asus-gtx980ti-6144-150727

your screen shot here shows you got up to 85c
