My gaming PC is experiencing slow game performance.
My gaming PC is experiencing slow game performance.
My PC’s gaming performance has significantly decreased. Initially, the system performed optimally with games running at 150fps or higher without issues. Approximately four months ago, I noticed a performance slowdown in games. Despite this issue, other system functions remained normal. A month prior to this, my SSD failed necessitating a reinstall of Windows and software, however, the game lag persists. I require assistance resolving this problem. Cinebench R20 results: 10th place with approximately 1670 points.
Download the latest graphics driver from Nvidia, but do not install it yet. Next, download and run DDU in safe mode: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ After DDU has uninstalled the old drivers, disable networking – or disconnect your ethernet or wireless – to prevent Windows from installing a default driver. Now, while you are offline, install the Nvidia driver package you downloaded earlier. Let me know if that works.
Custom-built Task Manager is irrelevant; CPU-hogging applications will invariably exist. Opinion: Malwarebytes Premium—uncertain at present; method of verification required.
Yes, there will always be some. However, 27% – that’s high – you want to have as few applications as possible running when conducting benchmarks, as they will reduce accuracy. Please proceed with a scan if you haven’t already. You can use HWINFO or MSI Afterburner to monitor temperatures. Furthermore, I forgot to ask: what is the make and model of the power supply? I require the name and model number; simply stating ‘500w psu’ provides insufficient information.
CoolerMaster B700 Ver.2 PSU: CPU temperatures: Idle – fluctuating between 38°C and 45°C; Minecraft (gaming) – 52°C and 56°C (34 fps); Overwatch – 58°C to 60°C with unplayable FPS (approximately 13); voltage – approximately 1.14V; GPU temperatures: Idle – 47°C; gaming – 54°C, peaking at 60°C.
Download the latest graphics driver from Nvidia, but do not install it yet. Next, download and run DDU in safe mode: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ After DDU has uninstalled the old drivers, leave networking off – or just disconnect your ethernet or wireless – it’s to stop Windows from installing a default driver. Now, while you’re not connected to the internet, go ahead and install the Nvidia driver package you downloaded earlier. Let me know if that works.
Following SSD replacement and operating system reinstallation:
Verify device manager for missing drivers.
Confirm Windows Updates via the Settings gear icon to ensure a fully patched build.
Identify your graphics driver version.
Determine your current Windows 10 Build.
Provide complete hardware specifications.
