List of hardware:
GPU: KFA2 (also known as GALAX) EX OC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8gig
Monitor: Asus VG248qe 144hz
Motherboard:ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. B85M-G (SOCKET 1150)
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.20GHz Haswell 22nm Technology.
Operating system: Windows 10 pro 64bit anniversary update (Sorry [watch your langauge] this up before)
RAM : 8,00GB DDR3 Ripjaw X series 1600mhz
PSU : EVGA SuperNova 850W 80+ Gold
HDD/SSD: SAMSUNG SSD 830 Series , WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0
Actual issue:
Ever since I installed my GTX 1070 my system has been feeling off, and I mean in a negative way. My windows 7 felt slower when I still had windows 7, my games were running at way lower fps and I mean WAY lower, from being at a steady 200-300fps to roughly 100-200 and even below 100 sometimes on for example League of Legends, and yes I know LoL is badly optimized trust me. But I didn't have these issues before so it's definitely related to something either hardware or software and judging from the people I've talked to it seems to be hardware.
When the issue first arrose that my pc felt off I decided to go troubleshoot myself a little, see what could be wrong (maybe I installed a driver wrong or something) apparently, I did not. I just used DDU to fresh reinstall my drivers for the proper windows for my gtx 1070 and when i first got it the DPC issues were quite common, but back then my latencymon didnt show any signs of it being a DPC issue. Then I opened my case (because mind you I got this gtx 1070 and a new PSU which was supposed to be 600w installed by an IT specialist local company). Turns out the PSU they put into my case was only 450w because they [watch your langauge] up serial number wise, the brand they sold had a 450w and a 600w but the only difference in name was a single letter on the box, regardless after much troubleshooting myself i figured hah that must be the issue then, my setup isnt receiving enough power therefore it's not working well, makes sense right? Nope. I got an EVGA 850W 80 gold power supply and the issue persists, and trust me thats more than plenty for my setup as you all may know.
So, I continued trouble shooting with friends who are specialised in the IT field and talked to Nvidia employees as well. Are there any performance limiting options turned on? Nope I checked windows power settings, Nvidia power settings, My Bios' power settings, My hardware specific driver power settings, i put everything on max performance over power saving etc. Two days ago after talking to people in the Nvidia discord chat someone noticed that after I ran my 3dmark firestrike benchmark that my RAM modules aren't placed accordingly, again I did not place these sticks this was done by my so called "professional local IT company" turns out the ram was mismatched and placed single channel instead of dual channel, so I bought new RAM sticks which are the ones I've listed up there and installed those this morning myself. Again this did not fix my issue. One thing I forgot to mention, I've checked my GPU my CPU my PSU my RAM, all of it in the according software you can use to troubleshoot these issues like GPU-Z, CPU-Z, Speccy etc seemed fine, nothing seems like its running less optimal or bottlenecking anything. But then after doing Latencymon today again right after fresh installing my new RAM (which my BIOS detected instantly and so did my PC, i checked) the issue still isn't resolved, and now I've got a DPC issue on top of it, whenever I launch a game there's always a loading screen or some sort of startup screen, right as it loads into that every sound my pc is making, VOIP like discord/skype or music that's playing is super transformery and distorted so after I mentioned that to some people they told me to leave latencymon on again while that distortion happens and sure enough it shows a DPC issue there, which looks like this http://i.imgur.com/1DnNkdf.png . http://i.imgur.com/DzRTvfh.png. Some of them told me that that sound distortion and the spike in DPC happening means something is reaching it's max performance but I have no clue what cause when I'm in a league match at like 120 fps it says in MSI afterburner that my GPU/CPU usage are both below roughly 20% which seems odd to me too.
Then one of the people in that discord asked me how dated my HDD was, so I went to speccy and checked my HDD, turns out it's been in my setup for a while..http://i.imgur.com/OEBbflm.png and it's SATA II. So then here we are today, I have no clue wether it's my HDD that's the problem and if I replace the HDD and it's not fixed then what is the problem, my motherboard? I don't know honestly.
TLDR; I've been trying to fix this issue for a while now I've tried DDU reinstalling for my visual driver, updating my PSU, updating my RAM, updating literally every single performance setting you can in windows/other software or BIOS, installing Windows 10 the list goes on. I've had contact
with Nvidia and other IT specialists no one knows exactly what my issue could be. Temps are fine across the board as well, usually almost always below 50 for GPU/CPU even while gaming and my drives/mobo aren't overheating either..
So, WTB HELP.
