Avoid trying to force the driver for the graphics card. Reinstall it instead. Ensure Direct X is completely updated.
Physically taking out the bent pins could be causing the problem. This is likely the reason behind the instability and unusual issues.
At first, the games ran smoothly with high frames per second. But after a restart, performance dropped again. The issue wasn’t my CPU but the GPU clock speeds. There was a clash between MSI Afterburner and Wattman, which forced the GPU’s boost clock to 970 MHz. I adjusted some settings, and everything functioned properly now.
