suddenly getting terrible FPS

[greatgreenman]

Been using a Palit GTX 970 Jetstream.. All was going well until today when I started getting rubbish frames. Even running Valley benchmark I'm getting 20 fps on low settings.

Any idea what the hell happened? CPU, Memory, or GPU problem? Temps are completely fine and I don't see anything unusual in process view...

Might wanna check what resolution is it running on? Also might wanna check your vram utilize?

Not sure what OS u using.

Quite recently, Windows 10 AU introduced changes to WDDM with its specifications updated to 2.1 from 2.0. Nvidia didn't update the spec for its R370 drivers properly and some games like CSGO and OpenGL applications (like firestorm viewer) had these issues.

A microsoft employee on the windows update team confirmed the replicable bug (via twitter) and Nvidia fixed it in like 3 weeks with 373.06 Whql. If its Windows 10 AU you're on, might want to update drivers to rule out driver issues.

I had that AU awhile back and I did a rollback. However, there was another force update today and I'm not sure if it's the AU. I tried rolling back again but I got an error this round...

But yeah this fps drop started happening around the time I had a Windows update.

Did a memtest for about 15 mins, came back, and I was back up to 60 fps again. Played some games for awhile, and my FPS slowly started falling after some time.. GFX Clock on afterburner was stuck at ~300MHz while mem clock was at ~3000MHz.

Definitely nothing to do with temperature that much I'm sure

i suggest doing a reformat

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

have u tried updating drivers?

 

[lamesensei]

use afterburner or gpu-z check if ur clockspeeds are stuck at powersaving mode

Windows 10 updates are cumulative. As long as your update history has "Windows 10 cumulative" KB318xxxx you have the update installed. If the problem is AU + WDDM 2.1, you don't rollback. use 373.06 WHQL with the bugfix.

I had problems with csgo, it was due to some dvr thing, on xbox. can check that out too.

how do you check for that?

turns out updating drivers didn't do a thing.

Clock speed starting dropping after about 10 mins of usage

Do they use base-8 in your universe?

mix up there. 3000mhz is vram. I'm stuck at 405 mhz with 810 vram and it's not increasing at all.
temp at 40 deg.
