Hi all, just bought a evga 980 ti and the fps drops are kinda killing some games for me, note that my fps seems to be good as i have max fps of 80-110 in a lot of games but i keep getting huge fps drops and they are so noticeable its ruining the immersion of a lot of games, anyway a few games im having problems with

borderlands two, runs around 80 - 150 fps but during combat its dropping down to 30s :/ physx on high but with low still drops down but 40 instead of 30

heros of the storm again during combat will dive bomb from 70-90 fps to 30

crysis warhead i have crazy ups and downs, fps normally around 90 but it will fly up and down to 35/40 a lot, also if i turn aa max or off the fps stays the same (with the drops too)

i had a old 680 before and used ddu to get rid of old drivers (didnt do in safe mode though) and cant really compare fps since i ran a lot of games on low because i have a 144hz 1080P monitor

rest of the system is
i7 [email protected]
16gig ddr3
Samsung 500 ssd

also my firestrike score was 14k which seems about right, so are these fps drops normal? kinda disappointing if they are

any anwsers are much appreciated and sorry for long post :D
 
It's most probably your CPU not allowing higher minimum frames to be honest.

If you upgraded to a 2600k @ 4.2Ghz all of your minimum problems would fade.

I'm not too sure about all of the games however Heroes of the Storm is the best mess in terms of optimization it's sooooo stuttery

Do you have it set to prefer maximum performance in the NVCP? Is Physx set to the GFX card? Might be nothing but its always worth trying

yea and in windows gna reinstall drivers because riva tuner is showing 0% gpu usage so cant see what % its at in games but cpu is always above 70% in any game im playing atm, skylake cant come soon enough :D

Might want to hold out on the Skylake for a bit. IIRC the first lot are not proper "k" series even though they are lettered. Im not even sure they are DDR4 but the second lot are the ones you want ;)

I'm going Skylake myself so I will look a bit further into it
 
I know borderlands 2 has been a t*rd on my pc since forever. It has never been running properly when physx has been on high or medium. That said I never had performance issues in Heroes of the Storm like what you are describing. I only get hardcore lag if i have RTSS running at the same time(incompatible the two).
 
I get bad framerate drops on Borderlands 2 with a Titan x and 5820k at 1440p

I think its to do with Phys x being on and badly performance hogging for the game.
