I built my initial setup the previous summer, everything seemed fine. The first issue popped up while playing Brawhalla with background music. Suddenly, the track rewinds to the same position and my inputs stopped responding. It resolved quickly when I pressed alt-tab. But sometimes it lingers a bit longer. This didn’t bother me much since it was just Brawhalla and happened rarely.
Later, on CS2, I faced inconsistent frame rates. Games run smoothly at about 200fps, but occasionally they freeze briefly, making gameplay uncomfortable. On Epidemic servers, importing skins caused severe lag, even with different skins. I also experience micro-stutters every ten seconds—feeling like frames are skipped. On a 240Hz monitor, the GPU should handle around 4ms per frame, yet it lags noticeably.
I ran benchmarks on Steam and got high scores, but real play is problematic. My system scored low in tests, and I tried reinstalling drivers, resetting the PC, and updating BIOS. Still, games remain frustrating. I’m considering a new graphics card to see if it improves things.
