   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

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

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

   Worth a shot before anything drastic.

   Same boat here. you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

   This comes up a lot, so: do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

   That fixed it for me, at least.
