I’m seeking assistance regarding my computer’s gaming effectiveness and would appreciate guidance.
Lately, I acquired a new graphics card, the GTX 1070 with 8GB of memory, and it performed admirably at maximum settings in numerous games – including *Witcher 3*, *PUBG*, and *NFS Payback*. Two weeks ago, I was consistently achieving 60+ frames per second on *PUBG* with ultra graphics without any issues. However, after uninstalling the game and reinstalling it yesterday, I experienced a significant drop in frames, averaging between 40-50 fps regardless of the graphics settings I selected, from low to ultra. Initially, I suspected that either the game or a driver update was the culprit, so I attempted to install the latest drivers, but that did not resolve the problem. Furthermore, I tested other games, and all of them exhibited frame rate fluctuations, with some occasionally dropping down to as low as 8 fps. I am currently perplexed by the cause of this issue.
Have you installed an Nvidia graphics card driver, or did Windows install a standard driver on its own?
Using the dedicated Nvidia driver will unlock your card’s full potential.
You can utilize a cost-free tool called DDU to completely remove and reinstall an Nvidia driver.
Begin by obtaining the correct driver from the Nvidia website.
Launch DDU and choose Safe Mode operation.
Disconnect your Ethernet cable to prevent Windows from automatically removing or installing drivers.

“Have you manually installed an Nvidia graphics card driver, or did Windows install a standard driver on its own?”
“I obtained the graphics driver for my GTX 1070 from NVIDIA’s website. Previously, I had a generic driver installed automatically through GeForce Experience before experiencing frame rate drops. Thank you for suggesting the use of DDU and disconnecting cables; I will attempt those solutions.”
