   Low stakes question, but it has been bugging me for weeks. It seems to depend heavily on region, which nobody mentions anywhere.

   Marking this solved once something actually works.

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

   Let us know which part worked.

   Only partly related, but worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   Counterpoint: nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

   Only partly related, but give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   The usual fix here is measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

   This is the bit people miss — the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

   Short version: nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

   Let us know which part worked.

   Counterpoint: do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

    This comes up a lot, so: the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

    Not the answer you want, but the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    Adding to the above: verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    I went through this last month. the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    Agreed on most of this, except nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

    Had the exact same issue. you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

    For what it is worth, measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    This is the bit people miss — the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    I went through this last month. the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.
