so..... been having this issue for a while now, when im gaming mainly racing games while also streaming im getting huge lag spikes which as you can imagine mid corner that can mess up a whole race. after looking at task manager while this is happening i saw both my cpu and graphics are running at a steady 75-80% load then both suddenly drop to 30% ish and i get the lag spike above mentioned. temperatures are fine as i have a lot of cooling. 30 - 40 degrees under load.
my spec
AMD FX 8350 ( not overclocked)
gtx 1070 ( not oc)
16gb memory
250gb ssd
800W PSU
6 x 120mm fans***
** the reason im stating this is that ive done some investigating and a psu calculator says while gaming i would need 1000+W with that spec, is this true? i know the FX CPU'S use a lot of power and my gtx 1070 under load would use a fair bit so i can sort of believe this, however at £200 i need to make sure that is my issue. any thoughts? im running games in 1080p and i lowered stream settings with no help. i had this issue in the past and it was apm ( automatic power management) in bios, but that is off so cant be that. so im kinda stuck and looking for advice? thankyou in advance
