Question

Video card or driver issue?

Apr 18, 2017 12:01PM PDT

Pc build with specs--->https://pcpartpicker.com/b/Nn7WGX

SO i recently built my first gaming pc. Everything will run maxed out but all of a sudden a few days ago, rainbow 6 siege as well as a couple other games arent working as well. Instead of running anywhere from 100-144 fps they have dropped to 25-40. But then if I go and open up Doom or BF1 it runs perfectly fine. Its really starting to get on my nerves. I dont really think its the video card itself if its running other games okay. Im assuming it may be drivers but I dont really know what would be causing it. Its not my display adapter or my video card drivers in general I dont think because ive already tried multiple drivers. If anybody could give some input that would be awesome.

Change your power plan to high perf.
Now go though each setting and set it to off or never.
