Hey everyone, yesterday I noticed problems with all the games I play. On any demanding first-person shooter, my frame rate dropped from around 160-200 to just 15-40 depending on the title. I also play League of Legends, which usually runs at 240fps but now caps at about 80. At first, I thought reinstalling Windows and updating my NVIDIA drivers would help, and it seemed to work until now. But today it happened again. I ran a UserBenchmark and it indicated my graphics card isn’t performing well for some reason. I’ve had this PC for a year—my graphics have been acting up before, then suddenly everything returns to normal. This makes me suspect an issue with the drivers or how my PC manages them, not just a hardware problem. Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

Under heavy load, temperatures tend to rise significantly.

CPU temperature is 92 degrees, GPU at 56 degrees. I also cleaned my fans yesterday and now I don’t feel the heat on the keyboard as much as before when things ran smoothly.
