basically, when i first boot up my PC. anything video lags, and my fps is games is horrible. 10-20fps in any game. Once i restart without doing any type of changes, it fixes the issue. Not sure whats causing this. I've tried different video drivers. took off any start up programs. I also checked to see if there was anything hogging ram when this happens and i dont see anything out of the ordinary. Only fix i have found is to restart the computer once it boots up the first time.
well i fixed my issue. I thought they fixed the issue with a GTX 670 working on PCI Gen3, but on my motherboard it doesn't seem so. I left that option on auto. then i switched it to Gen3 and the issue got worse. Set it to Gen2 and all issues gone.
motherboard is up-to-date. the newest one is a beta. "support future NVMe SSD drive" i know there were issues back in x79 chipsets that it wouldnt fully read a 680/670 in pci3.0 speeds. a nvidia driver update was suppose to have resolved this.
