   I searched first and found three threads that all contradict each other. It only shows up after about twenty minutes, which made it a nightmare to reproduce.

   Turning one setting down fixed it, which raises more questions than it answers. Thanks in advance to anyone who chips in.

   This is the bit people miss — the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

   Not the answer you want, but the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

   This comes up a lot, so: the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

   Quick correction to the above: if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

   Others may have a cleaner method.

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

   Same boat here. that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

   Quick correction to the above: the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

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

    This is the bit people miss — verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    In my testing, the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

    Adding to the above: give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

    Had the exact same issue. do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.

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

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

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

    Slightly different take — you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

    Others may have a cleaner method.
