Hi all – I’m not only new to the community, but new to gaming as well. I have new Dell 9560 with an Nvidia GTX 1050 (full specs below), and while I didn’t buy it for gaming, I did plan on a bit of gaming with the machine. Here’s the most detailed data I can give you for my issue:
- I play Fifa 17 and GTA V primarily, and in the first week or so, the fps count was fantastic for this little card – FIFA typically in the mid 100’s on ultra and GTA V around 60-70fps on high.
- I was totally happy with these frame rates because it was 100% on par with what I see others posting with the same specs (again, below). All was good for many plays/days.
- Suddenly – after about 1 week or so, fps has dropped consistently and dramatically: FIFA on ultra or LOW settings is around 25fps, GTA V on high or low settings is the same, between 15-33 fps.
- Load times for both games have been super, super slow. GTA V used to pop up and be ready in a minute, now it’s closer to 5 mins
- FIFA load times aren’t necessarily slow, but the super simple animations – such as the “17” animation while the menu loads – kind of freezes and stutters as the game loads up
- It doesn’t seem like launching other apps are slow? It seems to be struggling with games
- I’ve installed a decent amount of software since everything was working well – but nothing crazy. Just a printer driver, and a few Adobe apps (lightroom/photoshop), and a display profile (Adobe RGB).
- My 512 GB SSD in about 85% full
Here’s what I’ve tried to do to solve, which isn’t at all working:
- Reinstalled origin and steam
- Reinstalled the games
- Clean install of Nvidia drivers after removing them (installing the drivers is amazingly slow)
- Worked with Nvidia tech support for a few days, who just keep recommending the step above
Again, I’m so new to gaming that I’ve never benchmarked anything – I’m at the “remove and clean reinstall drivers” kind of level of proficiency, so anyone who can give some good detail/guidance to a newbie would be appreciated. Remember, I likely don’t have even close to the experience you do but would love some help if someone would like to dive into the puzzle with me. Full specs:
