Question Games Go from 150 FPS to 30 for a second then back up to normal.

[ematopia]

I'm running games on low and the 150 fps I typically get lend me to believe specs aren't the issue??

Specs:

Intel i7-6700k cpu 4.00 ghz
16 gb ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

Idk what else I need to post

EDIT:
After capping frames at 120 it fixed it for a bit but by the end of the match the problem came back 🙁

It happens on valorant, csgo, gta. I'll try capping the frames.

Seems to fix it as of rn. Ill update later

Your RAM, is it 1x16gb or 2x8gb? Are the games on a HDD or SSD?

1x16gb i think how would i check? They are SSD

 

[vcc98554vn]

slow ram can cause fps stutter i think you should try to overclock it a bit with xmp

You can check by looking at Memory on the Performance tab of Task Manager. It will say slots used and 1 of 4, 2 of 4 or something else. If only running a single stick you will suffer hitching and stuttering in some games. This is because the RAM can only run in single channel which is half the bandwidth of dual channel (2x8gb).

It says 2 of 4
After capping frames at 120 it seems to be running better as of rn. Why would that fix it?

overclock is making the ram running at higher speed from the stock speed

Any reason someone wouldn't do this?

its safe but sometime fps stutter caused by the software , not hardware

What temperature is the cpu and gpu while gaming? You can use a program like MSIAfterburner to monitor these.

idles around 45 but goes to 62 degrees while playing

maybe that was os probelm or ram probelm not temps probelm
csgo and some game will have the stutter on any hardware but i think not so much like that

Just a note before reply: this might not work but it might help a little bit.
I think the problem you are experiencing is called lag spikes if I'm not wrong.
Have you tried searching upon your browser engine on how to stop lag spikes?
Maybe some tips will help you.

Which one is that, cpu or gpu? And whats the temperature of the other?

thats gpu, cpu idles at around 55 with some spikes to around 70 randomly. While playing it sits mostly at around 70.
