Significant FPS declines occur in specific titles after new PC builds are set up.
Not long ago I upgraded my PC and experienced significant FPS drops in certain games. I also noticed a white light appearing on my motherboard, which after some investigation seems to indicate a GPU issue. After replacing the GPU, the problem persisted. I also ran a BIOS update. Could anyone clarify what might be happening with this setup?
These frame drops occur regardless of how low I adjust the settings. They mainly appear in gunfire reborn, slime rancher 2, modded Minecraft, and in sons of the forest. My game will completely freeze to 0 frames in some situations, typically around every 5 edits. I just noticed there’s a reply feature now.
I don’t have enough tech experience to understand firmware or Gen 3/Gen 4. I think firmware refers to software updates for your motherboard, and you likely have the newest ones installed.
If you haven't updated your UEFI/BIOS on your motherboard, it's a strong idea to do so. The firmware might be as outdated as the pre-5800x3D release, and since the processor is less than a year old, it's likely a candidate. Particularly with Ryzen systems like AM4 or AM5, this should be one of the initial steps you take.
