Hey guys, I've been getting low FPS in all games ive played (mostly csgo & WoW but it affects all other games as well). I get about 40 fps max and tons of lag spikes in csgo when i used to get 150-250. FPS doesn't change no matter the graphics settings. I tried getting an ssd and transferring the games i play onto there but there was nearly no effect in fps, maybe just faster loading times. I checked cpu and gpu temp and they are fairly low. Cleaned out dust from computer as well, even tried a new SATA cable for my ssd as well but nothing has worked. The only thing that has actually done anything useful was unplugging and plugging back in my GPU (took out pcie cable and gpu out of slot completely). This actually increased my fps back to normal settings so i was getting around 200 fps average with no lag spikes in CSGO. The next time my computer was restarted it reverted back to 40 fps max. I tried doing this again but alas nothing happened of course. I have noticed my GPU usage is pretty low - typically about 10-15% in csgo and about 12.5% for Nvidia Container. I highly suspect it was due to my gpu because of this but I have not found a way to fix it. I updated my graphics drivers as well but no difference. Anyways, thanks!
