   Genuine question, not trying to start anything. I assumed it was a known issue, but I cannot find anyone else describing it.

   I will report back once I have tested it properly.

   In my testing, the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

   Let us know which part worked.

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

   Short version: check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

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

   Worth a shot before anything drastic.

   Adding to the above: verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

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

   Worth checking first: nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

    Adding to the above: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    Let us know which part worked.

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

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.

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

    Same boat here. it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

    For what it is worth, ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

    Only partly related, but it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

    Adding to the above: this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

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