Recently I have been having a strange problem. About once a minute, my game slows down to exactly 30 FPS for several seconds and then returns to 60. It makes it very jarring to look around and move during these lag "episodes" (as it is not really a spike) and thus very annoying. I have narrowed down what isn't the issue. I don't believe it is due to CPU temperature throttling as the CPU will sometimes run at 75C without issue, while this occurs at about 68C. However, one thing I have noticed is during these episodes is that my CPU usage drops drastically (about 60% down to 20-15%) and processor speeds remain the same, and the CPU temperature drops as a result of the drop in usage. I recently updated my GPU drivers and installed AMD Catalyst Control Center. I have also tried turning AMD Dual Graphics on and off, with no difference in symptoms observed. Any help would be appreciated.
