So let me catch yall up a bit and say thank you for any help i may receive in advance. I've personally tried all troubleshooting and tests i know how to perform and would love some help
I purchased a new 970 did a full driver uninstall and a clean reinstall with the GPU. My current system is:
- Windows 10 64bit
- MSI Z77A-G45
- Intel I7 3770k - 4.1 GHz
- EVGA GTX 970
- Corsair 750w
- Hitachi 1TB HDD
- off brand 2x4gb RAM
- Patriot 2x4gb Ram
- Some Coolermaster heatsink of some kind.
I have thoroughly watched the CPU's performance and temperature and feel i have ruled that out as an issue. With most games performing at about 35-40% CPU usage and a max temp of 61C.
With games like Heroes of the Storm, H1Z1 i see poor performance. HotS gives me about 75 fps with drops to the 30's and 40's on High Graphics and H1Z1 gives about 50 fps with drops to about 10-20 on low graphics.
Yesterday i pulled my gpu out and tested it on my girlfriends computer with her and HotS ran beautifully with about 120 fps dropping to about 80 fps at lowest.
I then tested the GPU in her PC with all 16gb of my RAM and with each set of 8gb of my RAM and it ran fine all 3 times.
with that being said/done im not sure where to go. Could be a motherboard, HDD or potential PSU issue???
Again any and all help is appreciated.
EDIT: I've tried the DDU fix thats commonly seen on forums about the 970. Both my PC and my GF's PC are running 1920x1080, windows 10 64bit.
