Analysis of FPS drop in MSI Afterburner graph?
Hello everyone,
I'm facing quite unpredictable freezes and FPS drops only with certain demanding games such as EFT and Ark Survival Ascended. For a while now, I assumed it wasn't related to my hardware, but after using Windows Task Manager and later MSI Afterburner for monitoring, I realized the problem likely lies with my equipment because of the GPU fluctuations that coincide with the FPS drops.
Over the past year, I've installed several driver updates and experimented with various in-game settings, yet the issue persists. I'm not particularly skilled at interpreting these graphs, but I believe the problem should be clear from the screenshots I shared. I triggered five FPS drops and highlighted them with a red dot under the corresponding GPU usage changes.
