   Posting this mostly so the next person searching finds an answer. Once it clicked, it felt obvious, but getting there took far longer than it should have.

   Would rather learn the right way now than build a bad habit.

   From experience, the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

   Counterpoint: the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

   Slightly different take — the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

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

   From experience, you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

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

   Only partly related, but it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

   This is the bit people miss — worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

    This comes up a lot, so: region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

    For what it is worth, if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    Same boat here. the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    In my testing, the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

    From experience, give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

    Depends on your setup, but broadly do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

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

    Agreed on most of this, except do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    I went through this last month. this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.

    Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

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