Low FPS
Have you attempted to reinstall your GPU drivers? If unsuccessful, do you have access to another PC (perhaps from a friend) where you could test your GPU? Another possibility is switching to a different GPU in your system. This might help determine whether the issue lies with the GPU or another component.
Confirm your settings are clear—no V-sync or FPS limits enabled.
I bought a cheap teamgroup SATA 960GB from a couple of years ago. I suspect it was faulty from the start, but I didn’t notice because I grew up with mechanical HDDs. Recently, I ordered a FireCuda 520 2TB NVME from Newegg for $180 to try and fix it. It looks like a good deal at that price. If it doesn’t work, I’m worried about damaging my computer and losing money.
It seems there might be an issue with the controller. The FireCuda 520s are reliable units. We should see improvement if the problem is resolved. Based on your description, it likely points to a defect.
