My computer’s performance has decreased since I first purchased it.
My computer’s performance has decreased since I first purchased it.
I assembled my PC in December 2017, and its performance has degraded. Games I previously ran smoothly, such as Just Cause 3 (though I no longer play Fortnite), now exhibit significant frame rate drops, especially when loading buildings. My drivers are current. My hardware specifications are: Graphics card – GeForce 1060 3GB; Processor – i5-6500; RAM – 16GB. Formerly, I could play Black Ops 4 without issues, but now I experience freezing during firefights. I have performed maintenance by cleaning my PC, uninstalling third-party antivirus software, and reducing startup applications. I am puzzled by the discrepancy in performance compared to similar hardware configurations online. My frame rate is consistently high, but I experience stuttering and major frame rate drops when interacting with the game.
