GPU performance should match a 2080 model, allowing smooth 144hz operation with modest graphics settings. OC might not make much difference. Have you tested PBO instead? Also consider DDU—launch in safe mode and follow the prompts. After rebooting to safe mode, open options, disable driver updates, select "Clean," then restart and reinstall drivers.

4.2 covers some boost features, yet the overall improvement remains limited. Running on a single core still underperforms compared to the stock PBO version.
Thanks, then I’ll attempt it. Even though I repeated myself, I already installed the drivers for the GPU and chipset yesterday during a fresh Windows setup, but I’m sure I can try again using ddu.
Even after a fresh setup, Windows loads a distinct driver, regardless of your preference to skip driver installations.
I've consistently used 4 sticks of RAM PBO OFF, yet I've already attempted to manually boost it to 4.2 GHz without success—it keeps failing and the system crashes. At this stage, I'm questioning whether it's worth trying with PBO. Regarding temperatures, without overclocking or undervolting the GPU, I'm concerned about spikes reaching up to 106°C in hotspots; on average, it's around 85–90°C, while my CPU runs at 4.0GHz with an average of 55–60°C.
