FPS drop suddenly on a good PC while playing games online

[benny1boi]

Hello everyone,

I have a issue for the last 3-4 weeks suddenly my frame rated have dropped from over 60fps to as low as 1-8fps.

All that happened in the time of it happening was that my pc was moved from one desk to another, now all of a sudden, I can't play games online the same anymore like Ark:survivor Evolved 🙁

Has anyone encounter this issue or know what may be the cause of effecting my FPS so suddenly?

I've moved my PC from place to place before causing these issues. I recommend trying a CMOS reset by unplugging everything from your PC, removing the CMOS battery, holding the power button for 10 seconds, plug everything back in and setup any bios settings you had before (such as boot priority, overclock, XMP) If this doesn't work, here's a list of other things that might be worth trying:

- Remove all sticks of RAM except for 1
- Take out your current GPUs, plug in a significantly older one (I've done this with a Quadro FX 570), plug in your main one (probably your GTX 960) and try again
- Reinstall drivers.

Also, double check that your games have not switched from using your GTX 960 to the GT 610.

It's depending on which port you plugged your HDMI or DP out to your Moniter
If you're gaming use the GTX960 but Ijust wanna know why do you need to plugged in your GT610 anymore
And finally best way is put your GTX960 on the 1St PCI-E Slot for the best performance

You just need to connect from your TV to GTX960 output port
Cuz I think you just put the HDMI into your GT610
