Tips for improving fps?
Your PC has been running a bit slower lately, even when games are demanding high performance. The frame rates stay steady in most titles, but they often drop sharply regardless of intensity. Whether you're playing CS:GO, Arkham series, or games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Metro, this issue persists. You have a GTX 970 with an i5-4590 processor and 8 GB DDR3 RAM. I’m not sure if age is the problem, so here’s some guidance.
You might be encountering lag due to GPU VRAM or RAM constraints. With limited VRAM, most games now require higher RAM usage, making 8 GB less common for gaming setups. You could try identifying further lag patterns, checking frame rates in MSI Afterburner, and capturing screenshots of the issue.
Another suggestion could be MSI After Burner. It's a popular tool for installing and managing drivers.
When the frame rate decreases, does it recover immediately or remains sluggish for some time? If the problem is straightforward, removing the side panel and directing a fan can help. If the slowdown is due to overheating, it should lessen or stop, guiding you toward the correct solution. -kp
