   Low stakes question, but it has been bugging me for weeks. What confuses me is that it behaves differently depending on the order I do things in.

   Would rather learn the right way now than build a bad habit.

   I went through this last month. temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   Quick correction to the above: worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

   Worth checking first: the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

   Only partly related, but keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

   For what it is worth, the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

   The usual fix here is do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   In my testing, the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

   Had the exact same issue. the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

    In my testing, it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    In my testing, this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.

    Worth checking first: the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

    Adding to the above: measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    Same boat here. the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

    This is the bit people miss — check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

    Agreed on most of this, except the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

    Slightly different take — if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

    Others may have a cleaner method.
