All games lagging with a High-End PC

[Dutchy NL]

Hello everyone. So since recently my PC started to lag like hell. Games that used to run smoothly started to lag like insane. Games I played are optimized by NVIDIA GeForce Expirience, and the monitors are plugged into the 1080 Ti. Specs below, I hope you guys can help me.

i7 5th Gen
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
16 GB of RAM at 1600 Mhz
250GB SSD for my OS and GTA:V

What could I do?
Task manager shows my resources arent even fully used when playing games.

UPDATE: Disabling the DSR Factor completely did not fix the issue. Also changing performance mode of my GPU to Highest performance did nothing.

Did you remove the Experience entirely, and just manually install the drivers? Because generally speaking, any graphics suite like that is more trouble than it's worth.

Also, are you attempting to run all your games (that have this 'problem') on cranked-to-ultra settings? The usual 'fix' for that is .... reduce your settings until the game runs.

Highest performance just means, consume energy a lot.
All other settings give the same performance, but reduce cost.

Did your problem start after a win 10 update? If win 10, disabled recording feature?

while I have not used Geforce Experience in quite some time now, I never have found it to help anything.

Rather the contrary.

I recommend removing it completely.

I installed GeForce Expirience after these issues started to arise in hopes it would fix this. I will uninstall it tonight. I changed the settings of the games to just ''High'' instead of ''Ultra'' and this did not fix the issue.

I think I disabled to recording feature of Win10, not sure though. And tbh, the issues started a couple of months ago, so its a possibillity it happened after a Win10 update but not neccesary. Also, on my laptop the games run fine. Laptop specs;
i7 7th Gen
1050ti
16GB of RAM

What PSU do you have? Also, what are your temps like while gaming?

[Dutchy NL]

PSU is the Lepa B800M, recently installed. It gives more power than my previous one, which was the B700M.

Where can I check temperature? Task manager?

I've got the same problem as you, couldnt find a fix for now. My specs are i7 7700,16gb ram,gtx 1080 ti (msi armor oc).

Before this happened, I could play the witcher 3 on ultra with ease 100fps, but now barely reach 60fps. Stressed out for this. But CSGO can run up to 290fps.

Well uh, fixed!

Turned out the guys who fixed my PC last time forgot forgot to plug my water pump back in. Result of that was my CPU running without cooling for months.

I can now run games smooth again, is there any kind of software to check my CPU health?

I'd say, just keep an eye on it and occasionally run a temperature scan.

This is definitely why it's SUPER, SUPER important to *build your OWN computer* and not just dump it into the hands of others. When you have that personal hands-on, you do know what to look for :D

I'm very glad this issue was finally fixed, I cannot imagine the damage that would have eventually been done to the components if you hadn't discovered this. :(
