Game frame rates drop to 100-150 frames per second.
Game frame rates drop to 100-150 frames per second.
I am experiencing instability with frame rates across all games. This manifests as fluctuating FPS levels, such as a range of 80 to 180 in Team Fortress 2 and inconsistent performance between 90 and 120 in Dead by Daylight. I have also observed minor ghosting, which remains unresolved. My system specifications are: Intel Core i7-6700, 16GB RAM, GTX 1660 Ti OC.
The results are satisfactory, suggesting a software issue. Substantially worse performance would result from thermal throttling.
1) This is unlikely, but I will address it – if these games are accessed via Steam, have you verified the game file integrity?
2) Close your browser to prevent CPU and memory resource usage while playing.
3) Both Windows Game Bar and Game Mode are deactivated?
4) Verify the integrity of Windows files...

Greetings, thank you for your response. I believe my computer is experiencing thermal throttling. Below are the results: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22018936
The results are satisfactory, suggesting a software issue. Significantly worse performance would occur with thermal throttling.
1) This may not be the cause, but it warrants investigation – if these games utilize Steam, have you verified the game file integrity?
2) Close your browser; leaving it active will consume CPU and memory resources.
3) Are both Windows Game Bar and Game Mode disabled?
4) Verify the integrity of Windows files: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...le-checker
5) Ensure drivers and BIOS for the motherboard are updated: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/...#down-bios
6) Scan your system for malware with Adwcleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
7) The 1660Ti is a relatively recent GPU; if you previously utilized an AMD card, did you uninstall the previous driver using Display Driver Uninstaller? https://www.wagnardsoft.com/
8) Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings: Low Latency Mode: Off, Power Management Mode: Adaptive or Max Performance, Texture Filtering - Quality: High Performance, Vertical Sync: Fast
Thanks so much for lending a hand, I will try all of these tomorrow and report back.
The only solid evidence (and concern I have) is that my card used to perform SO MUCH BETTER generally a week ago, dbd is the biggest contestant here, it fell from 140-120 Ultra to barely 140 low.
I've switched from MSI Afterburner to Asus GPU Tweak per my friend's suggestion since the card was an ASUS Tuf 1660Ti. Which, oddly enough did sort of stabilize and solve the heat issue. It sits around 45-50 on idle and doesnt go any more than 65 unless I use my custom OC, which locks it at 83c.
Also, it feels like the more I overclock, the bigger of a ghosting issue I have, can this be? I feel like the ghosting issue is foretelling some defect now or something really.
My card idles around 45C with the fans off, so what you're getting is pretty normal.
I think Gpu Tweak has applied a more aggressive, custom fan curve, which Afterburner doesn't do on it's own; you have to set your own.
I've only ever really heard the ghosting term on monitors with high overshoot...
Are you using your monitor's overclock feature - if it has one?
Ok, but yeah, I've never heard of ghosting being used that way...
Perhaps your overclock is too aggressive, and you're seeing artifacts? I'm not sure - the monitor's g-sync feature is on, at least?
Well I've done everything stated on your to-do list now, I've updated the bios, had deleted the AMD files with DDU, but re-did that just to be sure, checked integrity, windows game-mode etc had already been deleted long before as I saw it unnecessary, I scanned my system and finally I've done the Nvidia control panel settings. No luck, sadly...
One thing that my PC used to not do is with the new BIOS it is now beeping once while starting up. This was never a thing, its just a singular short beep.
What else can I do? Thank you
