Hey, I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong topic, but I have come across an issue where in games like need for speed Rivals (and pretty much any other post 2010 need for speed game, such as the run, hot pursuit 2010 etc) my FPS is stable at the locked 30fps for about 10-15 minutes but then just drops down to 18-20 and the gameplay slows down, not sure if this is just an issue with the Engine need for speed uses, but also in other games, such as Watch dogs 2 it's really a hit and miss wheter or not my fps is stable/high enough to play the game, or just not be able to run it at proper playable FPS, now I do not have a very high end rig, but this issue has only been happening since a week or so now, at least; that's what it feels like, and I am absolutely clueless as to what might cause this, I have pretty much tried anything to see what can cause this issue;
It might also be fair to mention that if I do run a benchmark such as Cinebench, the first render, or the first 2 renders do show exeptional outcomes (for my chip, at least) but then the next renders drop significantly in score.
I do run an amd fx8320 that was overclocked at 4.8ghz (stable) initially but in the meantime has been brought down to about 4.5ghz without any changed in FPS stability, etc. The 8320 also does not show any signs of thermal throttling or VRM throttling from the motherboard. (clock speeds do not drop, neither does the voltage) (the 8320 never goes over 60 degrees)
Pretty much same story with the 270x which is the Gigabyte 4gb oc version, Initially that thing was never overclocked due to it just not being capable of overvolting or such things, but overclocking or underclocking had shown absolutely no different end results in the quote on quote stability of my games.
The ram, which is a kit of 2x Kingston HyperX Fury ddr3 1600 cl10 OC to 1800, also underclocking, overclocking, screwing aroun with the timings etc show no difference in these end results at all.
Then at last (unless I forgot something) the motherboard which is a gigabyte 970-ud3p rev2 with 1.2 volts at the Vcore (which always worked since I got it, never had any issues) and 1.6volts at the ram (also never had any issues with that)
I also ran various stresstests and stability tests, such as aida64, Prime95, etc all which show no errors of any of the sort. Which really makes me wondering what is going on here, Malwarebytes also came back with no results, not even after 3 complete scans of the whole system.
My operating system is windows 10 64 bits.
And, that's pretty much it, I suppose, thanks for anyone who might attempt to answer this.
