Performance drop and FPS reduction observed after several months of use.
Performance drop and FPS reduction observed after several months of use.
I purchased a prebuilt PC on October 22nd to 25th last year. Let's begin with the details. It comes with a Ryzen 5 5600G processor, an integrated GPU, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. It performed flawlessly in the games I wanted to play—like Assassins Creed Unity at medium to high settings, achieving around 40 to 50 frames per second, which felt smooth. It handled all the titles well initially. However, after some time, its performance began to decline, and I suspect the issue is related to thermal paste on the CPU. Even though the CPU temperature shouldn’t be high during tasks, it seems to be running hotter than expected. I have a photo of the specs if you’d like to review them. Could you let me know what might be causing this problem and how to address it?
Have you updated your monitor or adjusted your resolution? This could significantly affect how smoothly your games run, particularly with integrated graphics and large graphical changes [for iGPUs, a suitable resolution is generally between 720 and 1080p]. If that doesn’t apply, verify if any resource-intensive programs are running in the background. If none are open, consider reinstalling the drivers for whatever you’re using. Should these steps not resolve the issue, try running a benchmark like 3DMark and compare your performance to similar systems.
At 1080p the 5600g GPU might not have handled Unity smoothly at 40-50fps, possibly due to an unnoticed adjustment such as resolution changes.
Hi, thank you for your message. I didn't alter the monitor, and I've reinstalled Windows and drivers, so that shouldn't be the issue. Could you please share the 3DMark link?
It seems to have been a high or medium quality at 1366x768 with full smoothness. Possibly a low or medium setting with high performance, though still much improved compared to the current state, which runs around 20 frames per second.
