Hey there, I've been using my i5-8400 for quite some time now. This year I've noticed it's really struggling with games, and I'm not sure why. Minecraft isn't performing well, Battlefield 2042 is also slow, and now MW2 seems to be the worst. In particular, with MW2 the beta works fine but it keeps freezing heavily, with no update to gun animations. I've tried lowering the graphics settings, but that doesn't help much. My GPU usage shows high in Task Manager, while NVIDIA says it's around 30%. Also, I know my internet is Gigabit and it's not the issue here. Have you seen any tips or suggestions? I've uploaded a long video to YouTube, anyone have ideas?
