Performance drops consistently when the power goes out.
Performance drops consistently when the power goes out.
my system handled well before the unexpected power cut, but now it’s struggling significantly compared to just moments earlier. the screenshots show unusual usage, especially high in the Resident Evil remake menu at its peak. once the game started, the GPU usage dropped below 50%, and power stayed under 220 watts—normally it would exceed 300+ when running demanding visuals. this pattern was consistent before the outage, so it’s clear something is wrong now.
It's odd to see the main menu show 360 width, but only 220 pixels wide when playing the game itself, similar to what I noticed in Apex Legends. Maybe I'll reinstall Windows tomorrow and see if that helps.
Why not? Those questions often seem confusing because people usually don’t follow through with real feedback. Honestly, when someone asks for help and then shuts it down, it’s really puzzling... What are you trying to achieve? Maybe try a benchmark like 3DMark Firestrike—we already have something we can use.
The GPU includes current and voltage sensors, and he shared screenshots displaying the power output.
