   Long-time lurker, first proper post. It behaves as expected on one account and not on another, same device.

   Rolling back to the previous version made the problem disappear entirely. If someone has a link to a proper explanation, I will take it.

   Adding to the above: the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

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

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

   This comes up a lot, so: you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

   Let us know which part worked.

   Counterpoint: temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

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

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   Slightly different take — nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    Agreed on most of this, except if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

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

    Depends on your setup, but broadly keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

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

    Report back once you have tried it.

    This is the bit people miss — the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

    Agreed on most of this, except the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.
