I recently swapped out my old power supply for a new one that has more wattage (now 750w instead of 500), and when I started playing games on it, the frame rate numbers were all over the place. At first everything looked fine, but then in Overwatch 2 I was mostly getting super high FPS, like 144 frames per second, but sometimes the game would stutter badly for a few seconds with only 15 to 30 frames. I thought that might just be about the Overwatch game so I tried playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice too and it's basically impossible now! The first few minutes I was getting steady 60 FPS, but after that those numbers dropped way down to around 20-30 frames even on the lowest graphics settings. I honestly don't know if this new power supply is causing all of this, I've updated my drivers and Windows but nothing seems to help. Here are my computer specs: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz GPU ASUS GTX 1060 3GB PSU Corsair MX 750W RAM 16GB DDR4 Motherboard Gigabyte B450M DS3M

You told me you got a 750-watt PSU, but my specs say only 500 watts.

Oops, sorry, I made a mistake. I copied the specs from an old post without checking if they changed from 500 to 750 watts. I even thought I had 600w earlier when it was actually 500oops!

So, which model name do I have for my new power supply unit? Could you please change your first post to say that. Wait... what exactly is the Corsair MX 750W? Did you mean the Corsair CX 750M or the RM 750X? Or maybe something else entirely?
