How many games do you have going at once?

Adding my findings in case they help someone. What actually changed my results was slowing down and reading the tooltips properly instead of rushing.

    Hopefully this saves someone else the afternoon it cost me.

    Counterpoint: check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    I went through this last month. nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    Short version: verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    Let us know which part worked.

    I went through this last month. it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    Same boat here. the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

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

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

    Good luck, it is a common snag.

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

    Let us know which part worked.

    This is the bit people miss — that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    For what it is worth, region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

    From experience, the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    Slightly different take — the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

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

    In my testing, if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

    That fixed it for me, at least.
