Up until last year my main gaming pc was an i5 4590 (non-k) with a stock Intel fan, 16GB of DDR3 RAM at 1600Mhz, and a trusty GTX 980ti.
Then I upgraded to an i7 7700 (non-k) with a GTX 1080ti and 32GB of 3000Mhz Ram.
Problem is...I never really suffered from frame dips in the games I played on the older system. I only upgraded because I needed a system that could run games over 100 fps on a new 144Hz monitor.
My son, however, only has a 60 Hz monitor, so my older system was the perfect upgrade for him from his old 2nd Gen i5 and a GT1030 card.
He loves games like Assasins Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. But what I have noticed (and have first seen it in Forza Horizon 4) is that he now suffers from these frame dips in games where everything looks smooth, but every 5 seconds or so, just for half a second, it looks as if gameplay freezes. Seen it in almost all the games he plays now, including his most recent install, Watchdogs 2.
I get it, most of the games mentioned have been seen by the public as unoptimized over the years, but Forza Horizon runs smoothly on every single gaming machine we have in the house EXCEPT for his computer.
Is there perhaps some help to be had around here? Anyone else suffered from the same dips in FPS and found a solution?
