So this has been a common problem for a while now, and I believe it's been occurring even before my recent GPU upgrade, but I'm not 100% certain on that. In September, I upgraded from an RX 580 8GB to the MSI RTX 2060 and the performance difference has been quite nice. But, at just random times I'll get frame drops and stuttering that lasts for a couple of seconds. This doesn't happen every time I play a game, though, which is what I'm really concerned about.
Earlier today, I was playing Destiny 2 and it was running on high-ultra settings perfectly. About an hour or so later I rebooted the game and I was beginning to see the frame stuttering and frame drops. This actually happens frequently in Apex Legends. Where one day the game will run smooth like butter, and the other day when I'm in a battle and what not I got massive frames stuttering and drops to where the game was nearly unplayable. I thought that Apex was the problem until today when I was playing Destiny 2. Now, the frame stuttering wasn't completely terrible as the game was still playable, but when you're trying to do a Strike or a campaign mission and there are these frequent frame drops that happen every 10-15 seconds it becomes annoying. My question is, why is my system doing this? I opened up MSI Afterburner and turned on the essential overlays to monitor the temperature, clock speed, etc., and everything was consistent and I wasn't having problems when I was playing another game. If it's not a GPU problem then have can I determine if it is a CPU/Memory problem, or anything else?
Side note: When I purchased the GPU, it was brand new.
Specs:
MSI B350 PC Mate
Ryzen 7 2700x @ 3.7Ghz
MSI RTX 2060
Corsair 650W PSU
2x8 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram @ 3000Mhz
Any help is appreciated!
