Hey everyone! I just joined this forum because this issue is making me absolutely crazy. I know that rust is usually known for bad performance, but here it is different. When the computer brand new, the game ran fine, but now it's getting worse and worse until playing is impossible. The game is lagging way too much and my frame rate (fps) drops to ridiculous levels. Even though in Task Manager the GPU never goes above 40%, I think about a year ago I tried mining crypto on this computer, so maybe the GPU got overheated or broke because of overclocking. I reset the BIOS to recommended settings, but I've tried resetting Windows and everything at least thirty times and it's still the same problem. Here are my specs: Intel® Core™ i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz 32 GB RAM RTX 3090 graphic card. I don't know much about hardware, so I was wondering if any of you guys who really know what they're talking about could connect my PC using TeamViewer and check it out? I'd appreciate some help very much! Sincerely Lavrans

what brand and model do you have for the power supply unit? What is the actual capacity of your SSD? And what are the CPU/GPU temperatures along with their current usage while playing a game?

Hello mate! I’m not so good with hardware. But this is my computer: https://www.multicom.no/multicom-drogo-i...1500015503 it’s in Norwegian, but just press “spesifikasjoner», and you will see all specs. The cpu and gpu is never maxing. But sometimes the fans go absolutely bonkers. Sometimes the computer sounds like a vacum cleaner, when the only thing I’m doing is playing a game, Thank you for the help
