Hello,

For about a week, I've been experiencing FPS issues in all the games I play. During intense action, my FPS drop significantly, which never happened before.

Here is my setup:

Windows 11

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

Motherboard

Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. B450M BAZOOKA V2 (MS-7A38) 5.

16 GB of total DDR4 memory at 2.8 GHz (1.4x2 GHz)

Corsair 8 GB RAM stick

Corsair 8 GB RAM stick

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

PNY CS900 480GB SSD with 447.13 GB SATA III

I have tried the following steps without success:

-Driver updates
-Windows reset
-Cleaning my computer

Thank you for your help

Good evening,

And what about the graphical settings in all this? Haven't they been reset to default or something like that? Same goes for the video driver?

Good evening,

The graphics drivers are all up to date as well as the video driver.

I am talking about visual options.

Here is a screenshot of the visual options

Ok :/

Either you're trolling, or you don't know how to use a computer.

Or at least, say that you don't understand or do some research.

You can choose the visual effects and details from the game in question or from the video driver panel.

There, you're digging into the display settings of the screen under Windows, that's not what I specified.

I don't know what the visual options are in this case.

However, regarding the in-game graphics, I've tried to reduce them, but I don't see any real improvement in my performance. My FPS drop significantly as soon as there's a bit of action.

Maybe we should perform a stress test on the graphics card...

Windows touch -> Nvidia control panel

then:

Select to let the application choose,

Then in the game, go to the video settings (in its settings) and start removing the anti-aliasing filters, ambient occlusion, test the different settings, some are much more demanding than others for no reason, ambient occlusion (ssao and the like) is a prime example.

If you want to test your graphics card and your PC, run UserBenchmark which will give you a comparative result at the end to see where the performance of your components stands, whether in average or below if there is a technical problem.

My settings are set to let the application choose:

Then here are the results of the Userbenchmark test I performed: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/58276768

Your PC's performance is within the norm; the issue lies elsewhere.

Is there an internet connection problem? Is the overlay on Steam enabled? (It can cause lag in certain games).

Is a peripheral currently unstable? Are you playing with a controller that has nearly depleted batteries? Have you added anything recently? Even an unstable driver or cumulative update for Windows 11 on your hardware?

Any other screens to test? Keyboard and mouse?

My internet connection is excellent, I don't use the overlay and I play with a keyboard


The only thing that has changed recently is my monitor, which is deteriorating and has trouble starting up. I don't have another screen on hand, but I think the problem might come from the latter

I changed my screen but the problem persists

The drop in fps often occurs when I open a webpage, for example, my game suddenly becomes less smooth

yes, but it's the connection that causes lag, try the new Opera GX and see if it can solve your problem by limiting the bandwidth.

I have the same problem with Opera after trying it, for reference here is a speed test that I conducted

I didn't have this problem before and the problem mainly occurs when I play in windowed mode

Okay, I'm starting to run out of ideas here. Could it be a problem with the game in question? Downgrading the game to DX11 mode instead of 12 or Vulkan might help. Apparently, for recent games like MW2 or the new version of The Witcher 3, there's an option to enable for RTX to avoid frame drops, but this doesn't apply to all games. Generally, dynamic resolution can also fix these frame drops, especially if you're only using a GTX.

I'll try all of that, thanks
this issue happens to me on League of Legends and WoW, the main games I play, I'll try downgrading to see if it works, it's really strange because this problem appeared out of nowhere

Have you also checked the integrity of the game files in question?

WoW and LoL are rather lightweight and are not supposed to crash, it's strange, have you tested other servers if offered when logging in?

I have tried other servers and reinstalled the games several times; these are the only games I play, so I haven't really checked if the problem occurs with other games.

Even lowering the game's graphics settings, the problem persists. The image is very choppy, and it's impossible for me to have a smooth gaming experience.

I conducted a test to verify my temperatures:

I noticed something when I turned on my computer this morning (I don’t know if it’s related to my problem) when I press the power button there is a delay of 1-2 seconds before the computer starts up whereas before the startup was instant.

Have you updated the BIOS? Some stability issues and driver bugs can be resolved this way, as well as optimizing your motherboard for Windows 11.

I downloaded and updated the latest version of the BIOS last night

Could the problem be related to the power supply?

I don't think so; you would have experienced crashes and reboots otherwise.

According to your HWmonitor image, the voltages are perfectly normal. If you want to confirm, leave HWmonitor open in the background during a gaming session, then return to the desktop. If the maximum recorded values still display the correct voltages within a small margin, there’s nothing to worry about with your PSU.

The different voltages output by the PSU are +12V, +5V, and +3.3V.

Oh okay, the screenshot posted from HWmonitor was taken after about a 30-minute gaming session, so it wouldn't be a hardware issue :(, it's complicated to identify the problem

But to really identify a hardware failure, you need spare parts and to test each component from the most relevant to the least relevant to easily find the culprit.

In your case, for example, it would have been good to have another graphics card to test; here, aside from undervolting/underclocking the GPU or the software settings we just did, we can't really know.

I briefly tested overclocking with MSI Afterburner but I didn't get any conclusive results, and as I said, the game isn't really smoother even when lowering the graphics, I think the problem doesn't come from the GPU.

be careful with Afterburner

 Be careful with this fake MSI Afterburner app, it can steal your data

I don’t know what else to suggest, apart from disk diagnostics or Windows integrity checks, but I doubt that would make a difference.

Too bad, thanks anyway. If this continues and I can't find a solution, I will opt for changing the machine haha.
