I am having poor gaming performance and idk why I have tried multiple things but have not work I need help.

Specs

AMD fx8320 Eight Core Processor
MSI Gtx970 oc 4gb of vram
16gb of DDr3 memory
1tb hdd
 


Like ill be running the game fine than a lag spike, it happens on most games idk if its my gpu or what.

 


Games like Dying Light, Fallout 4, Battlefield 1, 1080p and settings are on the highest except for battlefield 1 some things are on high. Dying light can go from 66-20 Fallout 4 80-15 battlefield 1 its depends on the map.

 


so is there any sort of fix?
 


What would be a good motherboard to get than and how do I do that?
 


Ok all my drivers are upated and Ive cleaned everything. How can I tell if my vram is throttling? Ive checked my gpu and cpu usage.
 


Are any cores hitting 100%?

If it was thermal throttling Id expect CPU speed to drop under 2.0Ghz but usage to be near 100%

Are all your motherboard drivers up to date?
 


Are any cores supposed to be hitting 100%
