Constant lag spikes in every game - 2018 Razer Blade 15 1070
Hey there,
I’m currently using a 2018 Razer Blade 15 with a GTX 1070-m and I really enjoy it – it performs well under normal circumstances. However, recently I've been experiencing significant lag spikes in almost every game I play. These spikes cause the frame rate to drop by 50-75% for about 15 seconds at a time, and they occur roughly every 30 seconds. It’s incredibly disruptive, but once they stop, things return to normal.
I've tested this with several games including Space Engineers, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Minecraft, and PC Building Simulator – all of them exhibit the same behavior.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
* Disabling all Xbox Game Bar features in Windows 10
* Reinstalling my Nvidia drivers
* Verifying that all games are using my GPU and not internal graphics
* A complete system reset and wipe
* Running games with maximum fan speeds instead of auto
* I've noticed a pattern: when the lag spike occurs, my GPU usage jumps to 100% even in less demanding titles like PC Building Simulator. For example, this is what I observed: [Image description: A screenshot showing the task manager window with the GPU usage spiking dramatically during a lag spike].
If you need any further information or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for your help!
