If gpu is on 100% usage it does sound like that was causing the frame drop @issambard

I have to disagree, EA_Atic.
From racing sims to Battlefield/Apex/TF2, hitting 100% on gpu load hasn't caused any drop in FPS with any of the people I know (who own a powerful enough gpu, for sure). But what might cause this are memory temps on the gpu chipset (hotspot sensors should catch this, but I have reason to believe that's not exactly the case with all chipsets) - so gpu temps and hotspots may be ok, but memory temps are way higher than normal.
I know people with RTX 3070s/2080s experiencing either microstuttering or fps drops even when loads are well below 100. There are even nvidia forum threads where people complain about fps drops and low gpu usage with RTX 3090s (there's a YT video which is quite telling 😮).
There may be several factors (other than cpu/gpu):
- windows updates
- gfx card driver updates
- sound card drivers updates
- some types of attacks on servers
- software causing conflicts with the game itself (years ago an anti-cheat daemon caused problems with a certain sim)
