Literally every Unity engine game i’ve tried lags like crap.
Both GPU and CPU go up to 70-80% usage, I can hear my GPU practically screaming.
Constant FPS drops and stuttering occur. Sometimes the lag gets so bad my Realtek sound driver crashes and resets.
Currently trying to play Risk of Rain 2. On Lowest settings i have ~150FPS max. But it keeps dropping to 10 every few seconds. And god forbid there’s a loud noise or particle effects.
Specs:
i7 7700 3.6Ghz
GTX 1070Ti 8GB FTW2
16GB DDR4
Win10 64bit
Seriously i can run 2 games at once without issues, but when it comes to Unity based games my PC starts going nuclear
That doesn’t sound like something that would be caused by a game lagging.

i have no idea what it is.
It’s a constant problem only on Unity based games.
Driver crashing is a computer issue, not a game issue. There should be nothing a game could do which should cause your sound driver to crash.
The rest could again be computer issues, or the fault of the game developers. The best way to tell would be to see how the same games perform on a different computer with similar specs. There’s nothing inherent to Unity which causes FPS spikes that bad every few seconds.
Unity is the most popular game engine in the world, so if you have any problems while playing any game there is a high probability it is a Unity game just due to the number of Unity games out there. Also, Unity is highly popular with indie developers, and indie devs vary in their ability and time they can allocate to polishing the performance of their games. So if you are playing a bad, poorly optimized game, it also is highly probable it was created using Unity even though the poor optimization isn’t caused by Unity itself.

A lot of what you said is purely based on your hardware. I play risk of rain 2 every day on my laptop with far lower specs and it never has any problems on highest settings.
You already said you get realtek driver issues, so it just sounds like you have either a software or hardware issue on your pc. Its got nothing to do with unity, sorry.
EDIT: are you sure you have a large enough PSU? Have you overclocked anything, either by BIOS or through control panels such as nvidia control panel / geforce experience? The behaviour you have described sounds like hardware faults so thats where I would check first. Also check your graphics card and CPU temps, it could be you have inadequate cooling.
