   Every guide I can find skips the part I am actually stuck on. The in-game explanation and the actual behaviour do not appear to match.

   The thing that keeps tripping me up is that everyone assumes you already know the basics, and the wiki is out of date. Curious whether that matches what everyone else is seeing.

   From experience, if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

   The usual fix here is it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

   The usual fix here is give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   Slightly different take — the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

   Adding to the above: the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

   Quick correction to the above: temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   Not the answer you want, but ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

   Report back once you have tried it.

    Had the exact same issue. it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    Only partly related, but do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

    I went through this last month. the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

    This is the bit people miss — nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    I went through this last month. measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    Counterpoint: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    Let us know which part worked.

    Depends on your setup, but broadly give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

    Same boat here. if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

    This comes up a lot, so: nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    That fixed it for me, at least.
