Hi All,
I'm new here and registered purely to get help from the community. I hope that's ok.
All my specs can be seen on the snapshots provided.
I have had my Nvidia GeForce 980TI for some time now. It's never been a proble for me at all.
I don't overclock my hardware as I am happy with the defaut performance. Sorry if that upsets a few.
Anyways, today I noticed while playing Jurassic Park Evolution that my frame rate was dropping. Yesterday the game was 100% fine. no problem.
Today, the games FPS will drop suddenly and then climb back up and then drop and climb repeatedly. I have taken some video footage showing the problem.
So I figured it was a driver issue and updated to the latest nvidia driver. No improvement whatsoever.
So I checked other games and lo and behold, it was happening in Surviving Mars as well which led me to believe that the card might be the problem.
So then after doing some research, I saw people advise others to change the Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance. So I did that. no difference.
So then I downloaded GPU-z and checked how the card was performing during gameplay and noticed that the clock speeds for the GPU and the MEMORY were fluctuating every time the frame rate would drop and climb.
Then I noticed the PerfCap reason was set to Pwr which indicates that the card is hitting its power cap but I also noticed that this is not fluctuating when the clock speeds are fluctuating. So that baffled me.
I then downloaded MSI AfterBurner and increased the Power Cap limit and went back in to the game and my entire PC froze and I had to reboot.
During these GPUz tests, I created logs and I am hoping someone can assist me in trying to figure this out. It is escaping me and I would be SUPER bummed if my card has gone for a trip down trash lane!
See attached snapshots and logs.
Thanks in advance.
