Hello. I have Gigabyte 1080 Xtreme. After upgrade to Windows Anniversary i have weird problem with fps spikes in GTA V and Rise of Tomb Raider.
In GTA V and Rise of Tomb Raider i am getting random fps dips for a second. During fps dip there is core clock drop for example from 1975mhz to 291mhz. During this moment there is GPU LOAD,Core clock and voltage drop.GPUZ shows as reason UTIL.
Here is screen from Rise of Tomb Raider:






In previous Windows version ( 1511 ) i dont had that problem.


My pc:
6700K stock no OC
Corsair 750 RM
16gb ram


Is this something with my hardware?

Hardware is fine. Some process is effecting the games ability to keep the GPU loaded.

Can you monitor CPU load and see if it spikes at the same time?

Sure you can, through task manager. Ctrl+Alt+Del, performance tab.

Though, generally this problem is caused by an open browser or something like that. You can try to turn off hardware acceleration in your browser to see if the issue goes away.
