   Adding my findings in case they help someone. Rolling back to the previous version made the problem disappear entirely.

   The in-game explanation and the actual behaviour do not appear to match. Curious whether that matches what everyone else is seeing.

   This comes up a lot, so: verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   Adding to the above: do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   Not the answer you want, but this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

   Let us know which part worked.

   Agreed on most of this, except this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

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

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

   For what it is worth, give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

    Slightly different take — it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    Not the answer you want, but ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    This comes up a lot, so: the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

    This comes up a lot, so: measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    This is the bit people miss — the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    Adding to the above: keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

    For what it is worth, nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    Quick correction to the above: the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    Depends on your setup, but broadly the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

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

    From experience, the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.
