Question Fps drops

FPS drops

I have been getting fps for a while now. I decided to upgrade cpu and ram. Worked a little but still the same.

Specs

R5 3600

2x 16GB ram

Gtx 1050 ti

Asus PRIME A320M-K

600w psu


Could the cause be the GPU?

Have you installed any new programs? If so try to disable them running in the background

I don't think that's the issue. I did that. I also disabled startup programs. I did all of that a while ago.

How long has it been since you have cleaned out the heat sinks, maybe keep check on your gpu temps with hwmonitor

I clean everything each 1-2 months. Matter fact, I was thinking of cleaning it tommorow. I should check for gpu temps. I personally prefer HWInfo.

Thanks!
