   Curious how everyone else approaches this, because my way feels clumsy. The default settings are clearly tuned for a different setup than mine.

   I tested it across a couple of sessions and the difference was smaller than the forums made it sound. Hopefully this saves someone else the afternoon it cost me.

   Only partly related, but that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

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

   For what it is worth, keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   The usual fix here is temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   Others may have a cleaner method.

   Depends on your setup, but broadly check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

   Only partly related, but the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

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

    Not the answer you want, but region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

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

    Report back once you have tried it.

    This is the bit people miss — region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

    Same boat here. you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

    This comes up a lot, so: give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

    The usual fix here is if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

    Same boat here. it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    Worth checking first: do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.
