Problems with game performance have been resolved following a recent update to computer hardware.
Hello! I recently updated several parts of my computer approximately eight months ago. Here’s a breakdown of my current system specifications:
Graphics Card: GTX 1080 TI
Processor: AMD RYZEN 5 2600X at 3.8 GHz (it’s slightly limited, but not severely)
Memory: 16 GB at 3200 MHz
Storage: 500 GB Kingston SSD
Motherboard: ASUS B450M-A
My system is no longer prone to random failures. However, certain games exhibit specific issues. Mount & Blade Warband performs adequately, though I experience occasional frame rate reductions due to its age. Grand Theft Auto V consistently crashes either after a few minutes of gameplay or within under a minute – it initially freezes for roughly 5-20 seconds, followed by a crash. PlayerUnknown’s Battleground similarly loads the server, freezes for 5-20 seconds, and then crashes. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive generally runs smoothly for about an hour before freezing and crashing similarly, along with a somewhat reduced frame rate (around 110 FPS), which is unusual given my graphics card’s capabilities.
I would value any advice you could provide. I believe the problem may stem from my processor, but I lack a means to conduct official testing. Could you recommend any software tools that could assist me in diagnosing the issue, or perhaps suggest other troubleshooting steps?
This discussion is now resolved – I've discovered the solution… honestly, I was remarkably foolish... Haha.
For those who wanted to know: My graphics card experienced overheating, and I completely overlooked it. Disappointingly, due to the timing of my purchase, the warranty is no longer valid, but I intend to address this by applying thermal paste, modifying my ventilation system, creating tailored fan settings, and so on. Farewell!
Following my previous attempt at revision, I was unable to make changes. After a prolonged period of troubleshooting, I realized that a power-related concern was likely the root cause. I performed numerous tests involving performance measurement to assess whether the graphics card itself had any issues, but these tests indicated no problems; in fact, they produced satisfactory results. However, the temperature occasionally rises significantly, reaching as high as 93 degrees Celsius.
The discussion is now concluded – I’ve discovered the solution… honestly, I was remarkably foolish... XD.
For those curious: My graphics card experienced overheating, and it’s surprising I didn't consider that initially. Disappointingly, due to the timing of my purchase, the warranty is no longer valid, but I plan to address this by applying thermal adhesive, modifying my ventilation system, creating personalized fan settings, and so on. Farewell!
