Hello,

My computer began experiencing frame drops unexpectedly during gameplay. When I’m in loading screens and menus, the frame rate is typically stable at 120-145 frames per second, but when actively playing the game, it decreases to 60-80 fps. I’ve adjusted graphics settings within the game and installed MSI Afterburner, but I haven't observed substantial improvements. Any assistance would be greatly valued.

Please rephrase this text using alternative wording.

Also, could you provide your computer's complete hardware specifications?

Furthermore, it would be helpful to know the types of games you're encountering these frame rate dips with.

Finally, were you able to track the resource utilization and temperature levels of your components while running demanding tasks?

I’m unfamiliar with PC terminology and I’d like to understand what “under load” signifies. I enjoy playing Rainbow Six Siege and Insurgency Sandstorm.

It refers to the point at which you are actively applying effort to your hardware elements. Force equals exertion in practice.

Therefore, “under load” signifies when you are actively engaged with a game at the same time. Utilizing Afterburner can be beneficial for displaying component percentage utilization during gaming, potentially revealing any performance limitations or resource constraints.

Initially, verify that your drivers are current versions.
How long has it been since you performed a disk declutter, SSD optimization, and malware check?

Alright, thank you; I’ll certainly do that.

I've revised everything to the extent possible.

I possess a virus protection program which performs scheduled scans, though I haven’t completed the additional steps I felt were necessary.

Try it out initially, then provide your thoughts.

Also, keep in mind that online games will be restricted by your internet connection’s speed.

What frames per second were you utilizing when playing those same games? And have you made any alterations or changes prior to experiencing the reduced frame rate?

I’ve completed those actions and I've reinstalled the game, resulting in a frame rate of 100-120 frames per second, which is excellent. However, it’s extremely unstable. (This refers to Rainbow Six Siege, my primary game.) Previously, I consistently achieved 145 frames per second, so I disabled the FPS counter. Later, I unexpectedly noticed frame drops, though I’m unsure why.
