Good day Everyone!

I just wanted to ask for help as I've been trying to resolve this issue for months now since i got my components 2 months ago. So this is the issue.

Whenever i start the computer it starts fine for a good hour after that When im playing the fps starts to go down and the game started to get laggy.

The only solution i found so far is when i ASUS GPU TweakII. I always have to use it to Boost my system and kills every programs that are running. whether if its running or behind the system.

Temperature wise, Its good as it doesnt go over 34 degrees.

I really need suggestion on why this is happening.

Here's a spec of my computer.

Windows 10
Intel core i7-6700k 4ghz
16gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 watercooled


thank you very much in advance.
 
First of all I'd try to rule anything obvious out, so I'd open Resource Monitor and leave it running while replicating the fault. When you notice it happening, alt+tab out of the game and check the various readings shown.
 
I believe Sp00n also meant does this drop in performance affect other things, or is it just games? How is performance on the desktop, for example?
 
Just games in general sir, but let me check again as sometimes when im on desktop its a bit laggy. Ill double check again to make sure.
 
Check what the Harddrive usage is? If it's sat at 100% welcome to my hell.

it could be a number of things, antivirus, updates etc running after a set amount of time. Windows indexing maybe.

Make sure everything is completely up to date, turn off AV and test it.
 
If it's bad at the desktop too then I'm willing to bet it's 100% HDD usage, or a huge I/O response time. I had issues with my old SSD, where it wasn't doing its garbage collection properly and it caused the drive to crawl to a halt. I'm not sure how much that should affect FPS though, I would've thought it'd manifest itself more as extremely slow loading times. Resource Monitor will give you a better idea of what's going on.
