   Curious how everyone else approaches this, because my way feels clumsy. It seems to depend heavily on region, which nobody mentions anywhere.

   Happy to be told I am overthinking it.

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   Not the answer you want, but measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

   Depends on your setup, but broadly give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   Let us know which part worked.

   The usual fix here is nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

   From experience, the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

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

   Quick correction to the above: that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

   Agreed on most of this, except that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

    The usual fix here is the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    This is the bit people miss — measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    Slightly different take — this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

    Short version: the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    Not the answer you want, but do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

    Only partly related, but check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

    Agreed on most of this, except verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    Same boat here. the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.
