So until the other day I could properly stream and play at a steady 120fps and then I noticed I had a nasty bit of spyware that I picked up somewhere. I decided to wipe the pc and start fresh. But now after installing everything without streaming I get 66fps.

After installing my motherboards default drivers and then updating ect, I could not get the on board video cards drivers to install. Now, it may be because I already had my PCI card in and connected so it disabled it so I figured it wouldn't be an issue. So that leads me to my first question, could this present problems? Because my drivers for my nvidia installed just fine.

Nothing is overheating and my power settings are correct. (active prossecor management ect)

Not quite sure what else to do, but I thought about how it could be the MB drivers while at work and wanted some opinions on it.

os: Windows 8.1 (Same install from the working one)
CPU: quad core @3.4
GPU: nvidia 550 ti

So after some testing I found out that it was my HDD setup, more specifically my dual boot setup.

I installed two versions of the same OS on different boots and it seems one will only give me ~66FPS while the other puts out ~170FPS. My conclusion is that the ~170 is my primary and the ~66 is the secondary and thus is failing to use the proper write sequence. That's the only difference between the two so.. yeah. Maybe something to look into for other people who are having FPS issues for no reason and you have a dual boot?

1st Turn you PC OFF and then ON

Pls make sure you have a fps cfg, vsync (including within the drivers) is off, all background programs (which includes windows update are not running or let them finish), Dual Boot should not affect your FPS unless for some reason you're booting into the OS that doesn't have drivers and settings installed...

Sorry Comanglia, but I know I had everything setup properly on both boots in the exact same way. I in fact use your FPS config :P

But either way, I'm satisfied with this I just found it odd, but I assure you both are setup the exact same way, drivers and all.
