Low frames at low loads

[basjack]

Basically i have this problem that, as far as i know, i see only in Overwatch. Now i had previously lowered most of the more useless feature so that i can have the maximum fps, that is 300 and it would generally stay that way with dip around 280 in high load area.

Now two things changed, a new patch and i bought a Benq XL2546. Since then i only see 300 in the starting/training and then the fps varies from 280 to 200. The fact that bugs me is that while the frames are dropping Cpu is at 50% load, Gpu 60%, Ram is being used around 40% so i don't see a reason for the dip in performance. I tried uninstalling drivers, updating them, changing power option but nothing.

My PC: gtx 1080, i7 6700k, ram corsair vengeance 16 gb, motherboard asus maximus VIII gene.

Are your parts thermal throttling? Make sure everything is clean and the heatsinks are tight

How do i check? the gpu is generally around 60 degree, (max is 67) and i ran cpu-z stress on the cpu, at 100% it was at 50 degree. After a while the mouse was lagging though

do your fans get noticeably louder? Try running the Aida 64 stress test it will show you if anything starts to Thermal Throttle

Total cpu usage is meaningless, are any individual cores hitting 100%?

try turning on multicore rendering if such option is available in game settings.

Sometimes the higher one single core would get is 60% but never 100%, they are always even and close in work load

I ran aida64 on the cpu and it never throttled, the highest temperature was 65.

I also tried stessing the gpu and it is impossible, the mouse lags and then aida64 become unresponsive and then the desktop background become black. I was forced to reset the pc.

Sounds like a problem with your GPU then...

Ok, what? i uninstalled the drivers multiple times. Maybe something in the bios? are there some settings that i should know about?

Try using drivers 1 or 2 older than the newest, there have been driver issues lately
