Low fps, gpu usage etc. after pc on for a while, only reboot fixes.

Hey everyone,

Basically I was over at the geforce forums when another forum member assisted me in realising that potentially a Windows update has caused the problem I am having with my GPU.

Here is a link to the thread:

TL;DR above thread;

So after my system is on for a few hours, I will start up a new game and it will run like crap. I usually play at 144hz vsync on, games will hover around 20-50fps, never stable and is unplayable. Only restarting the comp fixes it, have reformatted Windows, done everything I can software-wise to no avail. Came back to comp two months ago after 6 months of non-use -no memory of issue before, so therefore leads me to believe windows updates have changed how GPU works with OS. All clocks and numbers fine - GPU usage, mhz, mem usage etc.

Hope anyone here can shed some light on the matter and help me realise if windows updates is even a matter for concern. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply. I will stop installing updates now without checking things first, however this doesnt help me with my problem. Neither would rolling back driver updates, as not only have I recently reformatted (meaning also no system restore states) but I have a lot of hardware. I don't have the time to roll back drivers for one of them, wait a few hours to see if the problem is gone, then repeat like 15 times.

I followed those steps and "yes" was clicked, so I clicked "no" to never install driver software. Not sure exactly where I should go from here... My earliest update was on the 18th this month, update number KB3199986. My only restore point is on the 22nd. I don't think rolling back updates is going to help me much to be honest.

Any other ideas?
