Worsened game performance

[Bruce]

While I haven’t played with all those available “driver update” programs, and the few I have, have been many years ago, they have been complete crap and advertised as solving all your issues where in fact they are simply not required and usually make things worse. They are great at cocking things up and a great way to get malware.

If it was my rig, unwinding all the little things you have tried to fix the issue with would be reason enough for me to do a complete system rebuild, add into you using a driver update program, and I’d be escalating that and doing it ASAP.

This way, once freshly installed, you could add one game and test your FPS rates.
As you add things, you’ll probably suddenly hit your issue again (hopefully not though) and this way you’ll be able to pinpoint the cause.

If you decide to reinstall that is all and well, I am curious as to if you rebooted after running the batch file? It should have disabled quite a bit of the load on your machine. Could you post fresh logs so I can see the impact of the batch please, I want to make sure it ran correct, up to you.

I ended up going with a clean Windows reinstall, which made my system overall feel alot more responsive and smoother, and it free’d up alot of space on my C: drive. With that said, I was able to install my game and test it on the C: drive. While the FPS remained around the same, the game doesn’t stutter. This leads to me to believe it’s more likely to be the hardware? For stuttering it could’ve been the old D: drive, and perhaps my CPU is limiting me? The CPU is from August 2023, so it’s not that old(?).

As for @Malnutrition, as a result of the clean reinstall I don’t have the logs anymore.

Other factors affecting FPS could be your internet.
Log onto your modem config menu and check line attenuation, signal to noise ratio, and line speed.
Also do a speed test at www.speedtest.net

Sorry for the late reply. It seems that things have smoothened out in terms of performance. However, I am back to the initial problem. Despite replacing my PSU, it seems that this was only a temporary solution, as the issue has returned after a while. The PC wasn’t even under stress while playing, and out of nowhere it just blackscreened, “HDMI1 has lost signal”, while I could hear my friends in the call for a solid 1-2 minutes before it rebooted.
