   Posting this mostly so the next person searching finds an answer. Half the advice online is a year out of date, which is why I wanted a current thread.

   Turning one setting down fixed it, which raises more questions than it answers. Interested in the counter-argument if there is one.

   I went through this last month. if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

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

   This comes up a lot, so: do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

   This is the bit people miss — the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

   Not the answer you want, but give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   I went through this last month. the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   Quick correction to the above: temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   The usual fix here is do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

    Slightly different take — do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.

    For what it is worth, the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    I went through this last month. measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

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

    Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.
