Having Random Lag Spikes

[thesexysenpai]

Hi guys,

 

I recently upgraded my graphics card from ASUS Strix 970 to an EVGA 1070 SC. I haven't clocked it yet so it's still in stock... But when I run the game, it feels a lot more laggy than my 970.. At times the FPS would drop to like 30-40 when driving and I'm not sure what's causing it..

Not sure what else to include.. Any help would be great. I ran GeForce Experience to find these settings above. Optimal wants higher settings lol but I lag like sh*t with them on..

I switched from the 970 to the 1080 and only after uninstalling gpu tweekII and installing it again have i fixed my problems. If i tried moving any settings in the clock speeds it would just crash.

What do you mean uninstall gpu tweak? I don't think I have that... Any other solutions? It's kinda hard playing Online when FPS drops like crazy after spending $410 on a GPU LOL.
