I was playing wolfenstein 2 the other day and noticed extremely low fps and stuttering. This game has played perfectly until now maxed in 4k. I've haven't changed anything on my system at all. I ran the 3dmark api overhead test and noticed both my dx12 and vukan draw calls dropped by 50%. I'm going crazy here. Is this happening to anyone else? I've tried switching drivers but get the same results. Dx11 is unaffected.

Nevermind I found the solution to the problem. My cat had jumped on my pc a few days ago and must have knocked the video card loose. Either that or the 7 earthquakes we had in the past few days. Or possibly dust in the PCI slot. I just took it out, blew out the pci slot and reattached it and now everything is back to normal. I never would have thought this was the issue.
I just ran a few dx12 benchmarks and my results seem the same. It might just be that I reached a poorly optimized area in wolfenstein and a 3dmark issue. Still would appreciate some feedback.
