Question Low FPS and freezes.

[Gamer271]

About a week ago I started experiencing large FPS drops in games like FN. More info is below.

PC Specs:

• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 (Asus)
• CPU: Intel Core i7 10700KF
• Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B560-PLUS WIFI
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16
• Operating System: Windows 10 Home

Issue:

• Large FPS drops - These seem to be increasing in size each day. Initially only dropped to 90 while I was in fights, now can drop to about 20 when fighting, and rarely exceeds 200 FPS when not doing much in game, e.g. looting, etc.
• Freezing - I sometimes experience freezes in game while doing things like fighting, this usually happens for about 1 to 2 seconds, this can cost the game as it happens very unpredictably.

Any help to what has caused the problem would be greatly appreciated.
If there is any other information you need, please let me know.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention cooling/case, drive configuration and power supply model and age.

Few things to check and common causes.

Cpu / gpu temps. Check with Core Temp and Gpuz.

Drive health and available free space. Check with CrystalDiskInfo. If using SSD, minimum recommended free space to allow SSDs to perform is around 100~150GB.

Windows background / startup running processes and malware. Check Task Manager, sort processes highest to lowest. Anything that stands out right click that process to search info on it. Run Malwarebytes.

I use fans for cooling and a Phanteks case.
My SSD has 320GB of free space.

I'm not able to access my PC currently but will get back to you with more information like case model, SSD model, and CPU/GPU temps in about 2 to 3 hours.

Sorry for the wait.

Thanks.
