Framerate decreases and drops across all games, unclear what’s causing the problem
Framerate decreases and drops across all games, unclear what’s causing the problem
Hi, I’m experiencing sudden frame drops in almost any game I play, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated—I’ll do my best to help based on what I know. Thanks for your patience!
P.S. I wasn’t sure where to share this, so I posted it in general. Hope that works!
Your setup details:
- GPU: GTX 1050
- RAM: 2GB GDDR5, 12GB VRAM
- Motherboard: M.2 slot, LX3 chipset
- CPU: FX 6300 (6 cores)
- Power supply: 500W, 1TB HDD, 2x SSDs
- Storage: Optical drive included
I need clear details about your specifications. When did the frame drop begin? Please describe the drops in detail. Are your components current? Have you tracked usage and temperature data?
Regarding the motherboard BIOS version, I’m uncertain if you can obtain a tool to retrieve that data within Windows. I’ve faced problems with my GPU or even a new one where a BIOS update resolved the issue. It might be worth trying if you’re prepared and do your research—it’s quite straightforward.
I'll verify the BIOS version and check for updates. The motherboard is quite outdated, with the last update listed as 2017 on Asus' website. I've experienced this issue for some time, and it hasn't been present during the initial setup. The problem only appeared after a couple of years, unlike when the system was brand new.
I don't recall it ever being this bad, and it affects all games.
