Hello, I've experienced a strange problem with my PC for several months now. Despite its strong capabilities, it sometimes displays an unusually high FPS—around 120Hz—while other times it shows a much lower rate, like 700 in Valorant. I've tested all components and confirmed temperatures and connections are correct. This inconsistency is puzzling, especially since I've built multiple PCs before and never encountered this issue. Could anyone help me figure out what might be causing it? Thanks for your assistance, ROBOTAMSKI.

Consider this from a clearer angle. You're dealing with a challenge that can be measured with straightforward tools, yielding precise figures like frame rate. Yet, no specifics are provided—just vague concerns and intuition. Two factors are influencing the situation, each operating independently. The refresh rate of your display, the game's rendering speed, and your system settings all play a role. It seems you're hinting that the actual performance falls short of expectations. Without details on resolution or hardware specs, it's hard to pinpoint the exact issue. Given your Nvidia GPU, you might try using Alt-R and the built-in overlay in the Nvidia app to assess the situation. If that doesn<|pad|>, you can explore alternatives like DLSS or Framegen. Understanding why the frame rate is lower will require examining these variables in context.

Thanks for your feedback. The issue isn't with the FPS itself, since both NVIDIA's Alt + R and the in-game displayed frame rate remain stable and high. The GPU isn't particularly strong, which limits the ability of most AAA titles to reach your monitor's refresh rate. Since you mainly play competitive shooters—often CPU-intensive—the actual FPS typically stays between 400 and 900, with rare exceptions. Your monitor is set to 360Hz both in-game and via Windows/NV Control Panel. The minor dips you noticed are normal, as they don’t cause stutters but rather a steady low rate. Based on my testing, these fluctuations aren’t unusual, especially after spending many hours in FPS games.

I don’t recall mentioning the 1% lows, but they’re fine according to my observations. This could be a subtle issue that’s hard to quantify without more precise data. I’m sorry if this was unclear.

Could you share some additional checks or tests you’d like to try outside of the usual metrics—like timing, in-game performance, monitor settings, and game build? I’m here to help!
