Issue began abruptly a week back. All games I play—whether on controller or KBM—show consistent 120fps with 10ms latency, but after about ten minutes the performance drops sharply to roughly 30fps without any frame timing or actual drop. I've adjusted graphics settings, toggled AFM off/on, and updated drivers without success. My CPU and GPU stay under 60°C around 90% load, RAM and storage are ample. No problems have occurred in months, yet now it's happening. System specs: Ryzen 5 5600X, PowerColor RX6600 TUF A520m, 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 at 3200MHz, 600W PSU, Windows 10 (version 19445.5854), BIOS factory reset and updated about three months ago. No VSync or FPS caps used.

This kind of information becomes clear when you're monitoring stats during smooth operation and observing shifts when things change. We'd check CPU and GPU speeds, power consumption, temperature, and usage before and after. Recording a playthrough with HWiNFO and sharing it here could help us identify patterns. These steps mirror what we'd do on-site to diagnose the system directly; otherwise, we're limited to educated guesses.

Thank you for the details, I'll attempt to log a session using hwinfo and share it later
