: Why is the frame rate suddenly dropping?
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
Ram: Ripjaws 32 GB DDR4 3600
GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
PSU: Corsair CX650M
Recent weeks I faced problems with games such as Apex, Rust, and Roblox. They would freeze and show a white screen whenever I tried to launch them. Over time the issue ceased, but now every game I play consistently drops performance by about 20-30%. I've reinstalled Windows, updated GPU and driver files, and temperatures appear normal. Any suggestions?

What is the age of your PSU?
Make sure your motherboard BIOS is current with the latest version. If there are no pending updates for your operating system (assuming Windows 10), you can use DDU to remove your GPU drivers, then reinstall them manually using the newest ones from Nvidia's support site. Run the installer with elevated privileges, such as right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator."
