   Every guide I can find skips the part I am actually stuck on. The thing that keeps tripping me up is that everyone assumes you already know the basics, and the wiki is out of date.

   Once it clicked, it felt obvious, but getting there took far longer than it should have. Still open to better approaches if anyone has one.

   The usual fix here is measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

   From experience, it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

   Slightly different take — region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

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

   Counterpoint: it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

   Had the exact same issue. the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

   Let us know which part worked.

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

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

    Only partly related, but the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    In my testing, temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

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

    Good luck, it is a common snag.

    Had the exact same issue. check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

    This is the bit people miss — measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    Same boat here. this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    The usual fix here is the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    Counterpoint: worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    This is the bit people miss — ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

    That fixed it for me, at least.
