Hey, your setup looks solid but seems to be struggling under certain conditions. You mentioned a recent drop in performance around 10% or more, despite no changes. The specs are impressive—your i7-9700K is powerful, and the graphics card is top-tier. However, it’s possible that driver updates, background processes, or even thermal throttling could be affecting stability. Try updating your NVIDIA drivers again, ensure you’re using the latest BIOS, and check for any system updates. If the issue persists, consider running a more detailed diagnostics with tools like HWMonitor or Speccy.

Did you adjust the PC recently? It’s possible a loose cable caused the issue. Also, inspect the GPU for any dust buildup.

I transferred it between desks. I'll look into the cables, though I'm skeptical it's the problem.

Push everything forward. The build seemed strong, though loose cords occasionally led to odd issues. Around 10% of cases felt a bit excessive for the card size, but it still held up.
