@JigglyWiggly_: @Cobra_nVidia: It shouldn't do as when I play the game it never drops below 100, yet with v sync on it still drops, I heard syndicate was very well optimized

@Cobra_nVidia: so it should still do this even with v-sync on? I get 170 fps on syndicate without it however with it, it still drops? and are the fps drops noticeable for you or is it just me?

Hey guys, I was just wandering if fps drops of 1-5 is normal in PC gaming, I have had 3 PC's now and they all seem to do this, so I assume it is but I wanted to check. In the games I have tested: dragon age 2, the first mass effect and syndicate, even though my PC is capable of playing these with ease I experience drops from 60. Should all games run at 60fps apart from when saving? these drops occur when just walking around the environment not in big moments or anything.V- sync is enabled in all of them and when it is off these drops still occur and still seem noticeable to me.
