   Genuine question, not trying to start anything. What actually changed my results was slowing down and reading the tooltips properly instead of rushing.

   The default settings are clearly tuned for a different setup than mine. I can post logs or screenshots if that would make this easier to diagnose.

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

   This is the bit people miss — do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

   Had the exact same issue. the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

   Not the answer you want, but the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

   Short version: the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   For what it is worth, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

   Agreed on most of this, except the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

   This comes up a lot, so: if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

   Let us know which part worked.

    I went through this last month. it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    Good luck, it is a common snag.

    This comes up a lot, so: verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    For what it is worth, do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

    Counterpoint: region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

    This comes up a lot, so: you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.

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