: Is the frame rate completely unplayable?
Your framerate varies across games due to different performance levels. The lowest is in Spider-Man Remastered, while Minecraft also shows inconsistent rates. Your GPU and CPU usage fluctuate significantly—sometimes high, other times very low. There are sudden drops in both values. Despite reinstalling Windows, updating BIOS, and using DDU, the issue persists. Everything seems fine in the NVIDIA Control Panel, but performance remains unstable.
Hey there,
Besides your problem, the first thing I'd do if I were you would be turning off your PC, removing the power supply unit and throwing it away. It's a risk to your system. This isn't meant for a gaming machine. Straightforward.
It's conceivable that your power source lacks sufficient capacity to maintain the required voltage or amperage for the GPU on the 12v rail. In addition, combining these two titles presents a challenging situation. One aspect involves playing a contemporary AAA game designed for consoles but ported to PC, which may not be the optimal version, and another involves a Java-based game that suffers from significant performance constraints, failing to fully leverage your GPU or CPU due to language and engine restrictions before the hardware reaches its capacity. I would consider trying alternative titles. Another factor is the DirectX12 overhead on Nvidia GPUs, which hasn't been fully resolved yet; it's worth testing whether the game runs in DX11 mode to assess performance. Additionally, certain PC settings might restrict hardware usage—adjusting the GPU power mode in the Nvidia control panel and ensuring Windows Power Settings are set to high performance could be beneficial. It may also help to verify that your BIOS doesn't impose any restrictions on PCIe devices.
