Issue: Unexpected frame drops in Valorant without thermal throttling.
Issue: Unexpected frame drops in Valorant without thermal throttling.
Game performance plummets suddenly from smooth 150-200fps to low 40-50fps without any apparent cause. Temperatures rarely exceed 93°C during operation. Game runs well for a while before frame rate drops intermittently, then stabilizes again after a few cycles. Attempts made so far: disabling raw input buffer, switching to dual-channel RAM, lowering graphics settings (1080p resolution), and turning off full-screen optimizations.
