When activity is high, the situation becomes more intense.
Hello, everyone. I recently made a major upgrade to my PC, but it hasn’t been running as smoothly as before. Here’s what I did: upgraded the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and SSD while keeping my old GTX 1070 GPU. Afterwards, I experienced a huge drop in FPS—from around 200 to just 20 when there’s a lot of action in games. At first, I assumed it was a GPU bottleneck, so I upgraded to an RTX 5060 Ti. That didn’t help either. When the GPU stays at 95%-100% usage, I’m convinced the problem isn’t with the GPU itself since the same issue appears with two different GPUs. I’ve attached some videos and pictures. At this stage, I have no clear direction left, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Troubleshooting steps I tried: reinstalled Windows via USB, formatted the SSD to check for remnants, applied all latest updates, used DDU to verify drivers, updated GPU drivers through the NVIDIA app, installed the newest BIOS, downloaded GPU-Z to confirm the GPU slot, enabled Low Latency Mode and disabled Ultra Disabled, and adjusted graphics settings in Device Manager. I also tested games at both low and high settings, tried various titles to rule out a game-specific issue, reinstalled files, and verified everything. Specs: Motherboard TUF GAMING B650-E, CPU AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, GPU MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, RAM Corsair 2 16GB DDR5 6400MHz, SSD Corsair Force Mp600 Elite, PSU Seasonic 650W Gold.

I don't have that information. Could you provide more details or check your device's specifications?
It seems you're asking about the specific issues with modern games and drivers. There might be a problem with CPU limitations in some titles, or it could relate to BIOS/chipset drivers like Armoury Crate or nzxt Cam. Installing Armoury Crate actually causes my frame rates to drop significantly... but it works on my ROG Strix laptop.
