low fps

[Hyper]

Went from playing on around 300fps to about 25 on CSGO same problem on pubg and some other games.
RTX2060
I7 10700 KF
Have tried re installing changing settings have even reset my PC same problem.
GPU and CPU are less then 3months old
computers clean
Any Ideas?

its probably.....

When playing these games open up task manager and take a look at the GPU and CPU percentages. Is another program overusing it while running the games? Its not super accurate but gives you a good ball park.

Install a heat tracking software(eg, HWiNFO64) and check for heat when playing the games too. Maybe your computer is running too hot and its slowing itself down to prevent damage (although extended gaming under such conditions usually reset the computer)

You are saying the computer is clean so i am sure you ran an antivirus scan.

finally check you nividia settings and see if you accidently lowered maximum setting for fps across the board although dont quote me on this method as i dont usually mess with nividia settings

Thats all i can think off the top of my head

sorry if this doesnt help

edit: changed taskbar to task manager and added an example for software for tracking heat

One more thing, check your disk percentage during use too and its health. It may be failing

check your disk

EDIT: Running other games without issue only CSGO and PUBG are making my CPU throttle down to 800mhz. I can run Ghost Recon, ARK and Overwatch with no issue my CPU runs around 4000mhz and sits around 75-80 degrees.

Alright lets try to limit your FPS in CSGO to see if it runs stable at lower FPS rather then unstable at high FPS.

Start by making sure FPS counter is on by going in to Steam > Settings > In - Game > In game FPS counter (turn on high contrast as well).

Let your computer rest in idle for around 10 mins so the fans can cool it down.

Next start running CSGO and go to settings > Video > Enable Laptop Power Savings.

Basically it will limit your FPS to 70 but stable. Unlimited FPS taxes your GPU to churn out as many frames as it can at all times causing heat to build up fast and in turn throtlling itself suddenly to prevent over heating.

Now run a few bot games and see the FPS in top left corner and make sure its decently stable.
if not change a few settings in CSGO and lower the graphics fidelity to boost FPS (especially shadows as those always seem to eat the most processing power) .

I am sure your Graphics driver is up to date, if not do that as well first.

I run a RTX 2080 and an intel i7 9700k and i usually get around 300 fps that dips wildly between 180 and 350. After limiting it it stoped at a steady 70 fps. Just putting it out there for reference.

These games are not CPU heavy rather they are GPU heavy as that determines your FPS. They use small amount of CPU normally to run some stuff but the reason I asked for that as well was in case another program was hogging ALL of the CPU which doesnt seem to be the case if its running only at 800mhz.

That heat is in Celcius(not F) during a long gaming session right? Thats not idle temp right? Its a fine if its only during Load but very high for idle.

let me know if this works

Tried to lock FPS run game at all low settings and enable power saving did nothing still have same issue
Temp was during long session of ghost recon. Currently playing CSGO CPU temp is 21 GPU is 27. I do not think overheating is the issue. Any more Ideas?

Sorry I gotta admit i am pretty stumped then, I did find this on the nvidia formus about it being a driver issue , here is the link to it

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/368459/after-new-update-fps-drop/

My current nvidia driver is 452.06 and i am not having problems, check your driver version and maybe think about rolling back your driver version to 442.74 if the newer ones are not helping (446 or above)

FIXED
Disabled MSI Dragon Center gaming mode fps is back, CPU no longer dropping to 800mhz. Thanks for the help everyone who posted.

Oh, I am glad. Was sad that nothing was working but i am happy you found a fix :D
