What Causes My FPS Drops?

[NickGB]

I play rocket league, only when I use my xbox 1 controller do i get frequent fps drops. I unplug it and run the game perfectly. Could this be my mobo not running properly and losing connection to the controller? Is it a power Supply issue?

I run a GTX 970

AMD 8350 Processor

asus m5a97 motherboard 2.0

Corsair CX 600 or 650 W

Seagate 1TB HDD

I Have no idea what the issue is.
Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like your drivers may be out of date.

Update your graphics driver with GeForce and the driver used for the controller as well.

My controller driver is up to date. As of today, there is a graphics driver available, but this issue has been happening for multiple graphic driver updates, I doubt this would be the one to fix it. My headset will sometimes stop working for a few seconds, could this be related to the issue.

I noticed the issue occur mid game play. It was running fine and then it dropped fps once and I knew the issue was going to happen. I had the issue before almost a year ago and I stopped playing for months, that fixed my issue.

Try playing a different game with the controller and see if the same thing happens.

Prior to my fresh install of windows, I played witcher 3 nearly maxed out with no lag while I used the controller. I have no others games to test with as of now. I live in a rural area and downloading would use alot of my small amount of bandwidth. I would have to wait till Monday and download a game onto a USB.

I would recommend doing that then. If your computer doesn't lag with a different game then it is obviously just the game. I would say try reinstalling it
