	I'm currently having issues with a 6 month old MSI GTX 970. My issue is when I try to play any game my FPS is stable right when I turn on the PC but becomes a problem 10 or more minutes into any game. FPS drops to unplayable usually between 5-20 fps I'm usually at 80+. I have uninstalled drivers and clean installed them back. I am in need of some serious help with this.

	Download MSI Afterburner or any hardware monitor program like HWINFO to monitor your temperatures.

	yes you need to monitor your temps. It sounds as if throttling due to heat may be occurring.

	I downloaded MSI Afterburner and monitored my temps. I found that my CPU temp is pretty high and my GPU keeps fluctuating. What can I do to fix this issue from here.

	Might have to take our the CPU cooler, re-apply thermal paste after cleaning the old one off. Then give it a shot. If you don't know how to replace thermal paste just google it.

	Don't see what fans or case you have. Open the side case and let a floor fan blow into the case. If the temps come down it is a cooling issue, more or larger case fans.

Find out moreabout benchmarking from UL

3DMark Time Spy is a popular and effective benchmarking tool for rating gaming performance. It is used by millions of gamers, hundreds of hardware sites and many leading manufacturers. The higher the score, the better the performance and user experience. Note that the frames per second numbers indicate the typical FPS.

Level	1
Step Into the Game	The system is capable of providing a good user experience in the vast majority of 1080p games with medium – standard settings.
Level	2
Next Level of Gaming	You can comfortably play all current 1080p games with high graphics settings. All products on level 2 and above are ready for VR.
Level	3
Kick it into High Gear	You can play all popular game titles with the same graphics setting as Level 2 and many games at max graphics setting at 1440p resolution.
Level	4
Elite Gaming Experience	Virtually all games run 60 FPS or more at 1440p resolution with highest graphics settings, and many games also run excellent in 4K resolution.

Not every system and configuration will be tested explicitly. The scores and data presented are provided by UL and are an estimate of expected performance. UL tests all hardware in controlled conditions. Benchmark results may vary on some systems but have a precision with a margin of 3 percent. Changes in software, such as system updates, driver updates, or changes to the game may affect performance. In very special cases, the device is of a nature that does not deliver consistent performance.

All PCs are tested with games running in 1080p resolution with medium quality settings. The more powerful PCs are also tested with games running in 1440p resolution with the highest graphical settings.
