The FPS dropped unexpectedly!?
The FPS dropped unexpectedly!?
I started playing Valorant after a couple of days without much gaming and found my FPS consistently low, often around 200 or even dropping to 100. Before that, the game ran smoothly at 300-500 FPS on my i7-14700K and 5070. I tried running other games like Cod6 with maximum settings but got similar low numbers (~145) and Expedition 33, which had some dips during cutscenes or fights. Unlike Valorant, those other games didn’t maintain high FPS consistently. I suspect my GPU temperature might be a factor since it doesn’t overheat, but I’m not sure what else could be affecting performance. Any ideas on possible causes?
I just opened the MSI software, selected the “fan tune,” and noticed my fans were very loud when idle. Then I switched them to PWM mode via BIOS. Hope someone has more tips!
Manipulating fancurves definitely impacts performance. In the 14th generation, there might be some degradation effects.
