   Adding my findings in case they help someone. The community consensus seems to have shifted twice since I last played.

   Will update the post if I find a cleaner solution.

   In my testing, nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

   Quick correction to the above: measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

   From experience, region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

   Report back once you have tried it.

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

   Counterpoint: 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.

   Slightly different take — 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.

   Only partly related, but the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

   Worth a shot before anything drastic.

    Short version: ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

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

    That fixed it for me, at least.

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

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    Good luck, it is a common snag.

    Depends on your setup, but broadly it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    Had the exact same issue. the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    This comes up a lot, so: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.
