Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a minor issue with my new PC. There are occasional slight FPS drops, almost like microstutters lasting a few seconds. For instance, when playing at 60 frames, the frame rate drops to around 55 FPS, causing noticeable stuttering. This only occurs with Steam games; Rockstar launcher, Battlenet, and Microsoft store titles don't have this problem. If anyone has any advice or help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey there,
Check if disabling the overlay in Steam improves things. Which monitor are you using?
Also, think about upgrading your PSU to something more stable with what you have now.
