FPS drops

[Ryguy]

Hi all. I've played a few games recently, and noticed that my new(ish) computer seems to have a problem my old one never did. It'll be chugging away at 200 fps, then the screen will jerk. It's a big enough jerk that I can be a little disoriented after it happens.
If I look quick enough, the fps counter may say something like '186' or there abouts, but there was a definite loss of something more than that. My monitor is only 60 Hz. I'm running a decent setup with an i5 6500 and RX 480. That is leaps and bounds over my old i3 2120 and HD 6870. I never had any problems with frame drops on the old one though. I run a pretty lean system with hardly anything running in the background. Nothing more than I ran on the old one anyway. Any ideas? I'd love it if it was just a setting or two that I could change and it would go away.

My computer also does it sometimes but its a junk pc. I would say disable mumble overlay/close mumble and see if that helps. If not what I do sometimes is alt tab out and back in which seems to work most often for me. If none of that works for me I have to restart the computer and try again.

The most common cause for that I can remember was the Mumble overlay, yeah.

I'll double check to see if I disabled it. Thanks.

The lack of specificity has me suspecting a rickroll.

[Ryguy]

No rickroll, just a $4300 alienware. Well, maybe a rickroll...

Neither Maestro nor Lothar was involved. It's not a rickroll.

[Jediluke]

Well, I'm not wrong.
