Fps Drop and no clue why... ;_;

[Matt Salmon]

Hi, I've been getting Fps Drop on games recently and I have no clue why...

Specs:
CPU: Amd 8350 with Hyper 212 evo cooler
Gpu: Gigabyte G1 gaming 980ti
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970a
HDD: 7200rpm 1Tb
RAM: 8GB adata and 8GB hyper x. 16GB in Total.
PSU: 750 Watt Bronze rated power supply

The weird thing is that even if I Turn settings down from Very high (On Gta V) to Normal I still get fps drop... Have no clue why..... I'm pretty sure my specs should be able to run it fine...

It's in pretty much every game I play now and is really annoying me...

Thanks for your help... (??_?)(??_?)(??_?)(??_?)(??_?)

Which GA-970A?. The -UD3P and UD3 are good, other versions will suffer from thermal throttling of the motherboard power delivery with a FX83?? in intense operation like gaming.

On Speccy It says the Motherboard is a: 970a-DS3P

The DS3P is decent, but its power phases are a bit weak. It should be fine in normal usage but can overheat during intense work, like gaming. Running with the case open may help, and if it does it is a sign that this is the problem. You could also zip tie, temporarily, a case fan to blow directly on the VRMs (the components between the socket and the rear I/O shield) and this should help a lot (but not entirely cure things). This does not mean that there is no other problem, but once this is dealt with, we can continue to look.
