I have a really good computer. The most frustrating thing to me is knowing my computer can run something, but it doesn't run the way i know it can. My build is
CPU- i7 6700k
Ram- 32GB vengeance
Mobo- gigabyte gaming 7
GPU- dual GTX 1080s SLI

I frequently play rocket league and always have a constant 144hz in game. All of a sudden one day, my frame rate would fluctuate between 144 and 110 in game and it was very distracting. I have tried almost everything besides reinstalling windows and I cannot find a fix. Help me out please
 
Btw, what is your resolution? If you are not at 4K, you'll often find your GPU's usage will be low. You'll also find it is the CPU which will always hold you back if you aren't on 4K.

If you are worried about your system, run 3Dmark Time Spy benchmark and post a link to it (not a screenshot, but the link to the results).
 
Rocket league is not a demanding game at all. My system would maintain a constant 144 in rocket league with the occasional drop to 143. Never fluctuate between the two. Also all the maps would run at a constant 144 but the one snow map would fluctuate between 144 and 60. I know games won't always run at 144 constant but rocket league especially on my system does, or did.
