Hello,
I have recently purchased a pc with the following specs:
Rtx 2080ti
Ryzen 2700x
16gb 3000mhz ram
I am running on the latest nvidia drivers with Windows 10 1809. Just today I noticed battlefront 2 running at 80 fps (1440p max settings) when yesterday it was running at 140 fps on the same level. This occured in all games. I recently installed amd cpu manager software and the latest nvidia driver. I tried rebooting, enabling/disabling game mode and other standard troubleshooting steps. Might I add that gpu and cpu usage is very low and even lowering in game settings to low makes a minimal increase in fps (1 to 2 frames extra). I am rather puzzled and would appreciate any help :)
Many thanks :)
 
do you have a semi-recent system restore point to allow rolling back the changes which might have robbed you of 40-45% of your frame rates?

(Type 'recovery' in Win10 search area, select 'recovery/control panel' from pull down options; for instance, a restore point from one day earlier shows on mine due to a Windows update...)
