Having horrible Overwatch lag spikes.

[Fawxxx]

My GPU is a new GTX 1060 (only had it for a few weeks) and I haven't had any problems with it until about 2 days ago. that is when I started getting horrible lag spikes in Overwatch, going from 100+ frames in all Epic setting, then going to 14 fps for a bit. Doesn't happen in any other games though. Any thoughts or solutions? anything is appreciated, thanks!

are you monitoring cpu temps?


sounds like thermal throttling

no... do you have any programs that you recommend to check the temperatures?

msi afterburner

go into the settings and enable monitoring of cpu/gpu temps in the OSD




then play a game and see what max temps you get
