This version has been updated recently; it wasn't part of the original release.
Set up MSI Afterburner to show CPU and GPU graphs. Observe when one reaches full while the other stays low. (Perhaps also monitor RAM usage.) This might be easier another way, but I prefer those long curves. Test how quickly your SSD responds—use CrystalDiskMark for details. Edited February 19, 2024 by leclod
I verify both CPU and GPU temperatures. The Windows installation is several years old.
I've reviewed them. The temperatures stay safe, above 75. The setup is quite old—no reinstall since the build. I just realized I upgraded to Windows 11 via the update and then downgraded using the official tool. Could that have affected the installation?
Absolutely. Even though it's the standard approach, no one confirmed it really performs well. Let's start with a fresh Windows 10 setup so we can focus on hardware or software issues.
I cleaned the installed Windows and reset the drives, updated the BIOS, but nothing has changed yet. It seems the issue isn’t related to software.
