Framedrops on GTX 1050 Ti

[nerdafterdark]

I am getting pretty bad framedrops while playing Paragon and i can't see why this keeps happening. I uninstalled and removed all the remains of the old driver using AMD Removal Utility. After that i installed the Chipset-driver again and the new GTX-driver. The thing is the AMD Removal Utility listed a bunch of things that it uninstalls, but in my stupidity i just agreed and thought i have no other AMD hardware, except for the chipset, which i will just reinstall. Is there anything i might have missed?
The whole performance of the System seems to be unresponsive at times since i got it, but is running games quite well, up to now.
While playing Paragon i noticed that the framerate is really bad and i adjusted the graphic-settings to be really low. Now i am getting around 110-120 fps, but not constant. At times the framerate drops to 50 or even worse. While in the menu of the game the framerate seems to be capped at 60, but even there it drops totally random. When scrolling through the menu fast the frames also drop to around 30.
I am really unsure what is causing this. I tried to set the GTX to performancemode and like i said chose low/lowest settings and resolution.

My specs:
AMD FX-8350
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
8 gb DDR3
Gainward GTX 1050 Ti
Xilence 600w ATX

Run this tool for missing drivers. Download 3.6mb one and install it.

Well there isthe Nvidia version 375.xx and newer driver bugs. It can lock your video memory on low plus much more. I suggest you uninstall the Nvidia drivers and use DDU to remove all the leftovers. Then download Nvidia's older 374.xx driver and test.

Thanks to both of you. I was able to update some drivers using the sdi-tool. I also uninstalled and used DDU, reinstalled the driver, but nothing changed. I guess it has to do with the new driver, so i'll do the whole process again.

Edit: It seems that the oldest available driver is a 375.xx driver.

The driver you linked does not support the 1050 or 1050 ti and as far as i understand from the patchnotes most of the issues should have been fixed with the newest drivers.
I also did some more research. I installed msi afterburner to monitor and i noticed that the utilization of the card drops just when the framedrops occur. It drops from around 50-70% down to 10-20%. Everything else works fine and CPU/RAM aren't under full load. Clock speed stays at 1700 and temperatures are fine. Do you still think that it is a driverproblem or could it be bad optimization of the game?
Is there any other driver i could try?

Try optimizing for sure usig ccleaner and advanced systemcare. Also use driver booster to find any drivers needing updated.

Already using ccleaner and all drivers are up to date. It is probably the bad optimization of the game, as a lot of other people are having the same issues. Thanks for trying.

Your system could be lowly optimized for games. You only have 8gb of RAM and many system services taking that up at no benefits for gaming. Advanced system care can shut down windows services thats holding you back. I would suggest black vipers Windows services site but it no longer online to walk you through removing those you don't need.
