I recently got a new gaming PC. Fortnite is one of the main games I play, so I was hoping to be able to crank the settings up. I turned everything to max, running it at 1080p. Performance is decent, honestly was expecting better but I still get around 240fps.
However, while I'm using high settings (it has yet to occur playing on all low configurations), I will randomly drop to ~60 FPS (or lower) and it stays there for several seconds. It feels like I'm playing in slow-motion basically. It happens completely sporadically, and I've never experienced anything like this before. I thought maybe it was the anti-aliasing/super resolution selection, so I tried using DLSS which is what the card was designed to utilize. But, it happens using DLSS as well.
I can't seem to find any documentation on a similar issue. I've asked people who are running the same GPU and they have no issue, so despite this seeming like a driver fault that doesn't seem to be the case.
My hardware specs are listed below:
- Gigabyte 5070 Ti Gaming OC
- Ryzen 9800x3d
- MSI X870 Gaming Plus Wifi mobo
- 32GB Kingston Fury RGB Ram (tried all different EXPO profiles, and completely disabling it)
- Dual NVMe Crucial P3 Plus drives
-Windows 11 Home Edition
So far, I've updated all my drivers (LAN, chipset, along with testing numerous graphics driver versions), disabled various Windows settings, uninstalled unnecessary applications, changed various NVIDIA settings, all to no avail. The temperatures on all the components seem normal. Additionally, I even tried installing Afterburner and setting up the in-game monitor overlay so I can see what happens when those spikes occur. Voltages all seem fine, although I will say the CPU utilization does drop, and the GPU gets more load in those scenarios. I would also think that rules out background apps from causing upticks in latency, so it's probably not that either.
I'm pretty stumped.
Thanks for reading.
