So the main issue is my FPS. If i take overwatch as an example, i run OW at Highest/Medium settings, so not pushing the fps to max, but a good amount.
I start out a game with 299 FPS, 5 min in or randomly ingame, my fps goes down to 150/140, stays there, goes up to 170, stays there, goes up to 200 for a bit, and then down to 150/160 and stays there until it goes back up til 200 again. The only other thing i have running is Chrome with 2 tabs open but this should not affect my FPS that much.
I have checked my temperatures, they never exceed 70 Celcious, ive cleaned out my PC from dust with pressured air, i have updated everything and Xbox DVR and all that stuff is off. Also checked nvidia controll panel settings and power mode and such to what it should be set to.
Why does my FPS drop with 100 FPS after gaming for a while?
And why does it fluctuate so much?
And yes, i am running on a 144hz Monitor.

Reduce your display refresh rate limit; ideally, set it to 144 to synchronize with your screen, though occasionally this introduces issues. Consider using either 143 or 145 instead. Any frame count exceeding 144 is unnecessary and stresses your graphics card, often forcing it to reach 300 while overheating and experiencing minor performance throttling, leading to fluctuating frames and continuous looping. Furthermore, applications like Chrome with multiple tabs can consume significant processing power, and malicious websites or cryptocurrency miners can exploit your system's resources.
Reduce your frame rate limit, aiming for 144 to synchronize with your display is preferable but may introduce issues; consider setting it one step higher or lower (143/145). Excess frames are unnecessary and stress your graphics card, often causing it to reach 300, overheat slightly, and reduce performance while repeatedly cycling through these fluctuations. Furthermore, applications like Chrome with multiple tabs can consume significant resources, and malicious websites, such as those used for cryptocurrency mining, pose a risk to your system.
