Greetings,
Lately I have noticed a difference in both gameplay and video. I noticed a lot more stuttering in games and videos and my videos have start tearing both horizontally and vertically. Noticed some tearing in Witcher III as well with vsync turned on. Last night I was streaming a V8 Supercars race in browser. Usually no issues but the stuttering and frames skipping was horrid. Make it difficult to watch. I was playing minecraft as well. All the sudden everything freezes and a system waiting icon appears on the mouse pointer but yet I can still hear audio from the race and hear myself walking around in minecraft as I use the keyboard. Then both monitors went black and both reported no signal on both HDMI or DVI. Only way to fix this was a hard reboot.
Framerate drops I have noticed.
Minecraft (unlimited frame option) Went from ~500fps -> 55fps (not that 500fps is needed or applicable, its just to show a comparison) I can no longer keep minecraft stable at 60fps
World of Tanks 60FPS(vsync) -> ~50fps(vsync)
Witcher III (High Settings) ~50fps -> 25fps
Increased Horizontal and Vertical Tearing on both Blu-ray, dvd, and video files from both my ssd (Raid 0 array) and my Hard Drive
I have also noticed some videos are also out of sync where the audio is ahead of the video itself.
CPU voltage reports 1.2059v (Core Temp 1.4)
GPU under load reports usually around 1139mv (Evga Precision X 16)
Firestrike benchmarks seemed to run fine. Final score was in the lower end of town compared to other valid results.
I am not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions? Thank you!
