    Hi guys, since 2 days the fps on all of my games dropped by half, for exemple :
    While i had a constant 60 fps (60hz monitor) On Max settings on Dark Souls 3 / Metal Gear Solid 5, i now have at max 30 - 35 fps on them, with no apparent reason, the heat of the GPU is fine, ( around 65 - 70 celsius degrees ), the Ram & CPU Usage are normal ( 40% for the CPU most of the time, 60 - 80% for the RAM ) and 100% GPU usage according to HW Monitor.

    Note that i haven't installed any software whatsoever in the last 2 days ...

    My specs are :
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    AMD Ryzen 5 1500x
    EVGA SSC GTX 1060 6GB
    Corsaire Vengeance 3200Mz 8Go Dual Channel Ram
    Asrock AB350M Pro4 Motherboard (latest bios)
    Seagate barracuda st1000dm010

    I have tried :
    - Reinstalling the drivers
    - Increasing fan speed
    - Disabling useless non-microsoft services and some microsoft services (Windows Installer / Update / Superfetch / Printer stuff, etc...)
    - Disabling start-up services aside from 3 (scp ds3 controller service / eagleget / shareX)

    Please help guys, i'm lost ...

    Have you checked your internet speeds? http://www.speedtest.net is a good site. Not sure if your games involve internet or not. If you use AT&T they have been very slow for over a week where we are.

    Frames per second is due to video card not internet speeds.

    Some games are capped at 72 FPS.There might have been a recent patch to the game that has all so broken this FPS.

    If your CPU is at 100% while playing this could be your bottle neck.Those games should not even touch that 100%.

    You might have stuff running in the back round that is sucking it all up.

    I've checked every obvious reason ^^" that's why i'm posting here, i'm not doing anything new from the time the game was running at 60 fps, that's the main problem

    Maybe we can figure out what is causing the bottle neck.

    Thank's guys for the help & intentions, figured it was a bitcoin mining malware, my GPU was running at 95% even when not playing games, i've reinstalled windows and that solved it.

    How did you reinstall it.

    Did you do a fresh wipe on the hard drive.
