Abruptly severe ripping, jerky, and sluggish performance.
Greetings.
For the past month, I've been experiencing significant screen tearing, freezing, and lag—even with VSync enabled. My issues have persisted across a wide range of games including Rainbow Six Siege, Far Cry 5, Battlefield V, and GTA V, despite these titles having operated flawlessly in the past without VSync, frame rate limits, or similar configurations. Previously, I routinely enjoyed these games at high framerates without any adjustments to settings. I'm wondering about the potential source of this trouble. Do you have any suggestions? Considering that I recently acquired my graphics card (less than a year old), should I consider returning it?
Here are my system specifications:
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600k at 3.5GHz
GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM
RAM: 16GB DDR4 at 2133MHz (two sticks)
Motherboard: ASRock Z170 EXTREME4
Operating System: Windows 10
Power Supply Unit: be quiet! system power 8 (500W)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 412S
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO (500GB) and a 250GB drive
Thank you in advance,

There could be a confluence of circumstances, including software and applications, that creates problems.
You can narrow down the potential issues by preventing certain programs from launching automatically – particularly if they aren't frequently used. Also, search online for any software you don’t recognize. Various unwanted items (often referred to as bloatware) can install unnoticed...

Monitor your computer's performance using Task Manager and Resource Monitor to understand its activity. Begin by observing your system’s behavior without playing any games. Keep these tools open and positioned out of the way, then play your favorite game as you normally would. Carefully examine the tools to identify any performance limitations or issues that arise during gameplay.

Initiate this analysis while you are not playing games, then keep these tools open in the background and move them to the side. Continue gaming as you normally would, and then monitor for any performance limitations or issues that appear. Recently, this has been sporadic but consistent, suggesting a background program is the likely culprit—a program that isn’t running constantly. Currently, this seems to be the case, and I am unable to identify the specific program causing the problem.
