Performance declines across all games you play
Review CPU, GPU and RAM activity during gameplay with MSI Afterburner's overlay to identify unusual spikes. Look for background processes that might be causing issues. Examine your pagefile settings—especially if it's stored on an SSD, consider setting it to automatic size. To view the pagefile config, press Windows + Pause Break, then navigate through Advanced system settings, Performance, and select Virtual Memory.
There might be several factors at play here. First, I’d like to confirm if your GPU drivers are up to date. Then, try checking the Power Saving Plan in your Windows settings—search for "edit power plan" and navigate to advanced options. It’s possible the PSU isn’t delivering sufficient power, but I’m not sure that’s the main problem. It seems unusual to have a GPU operating below its full capacity.
