Wow. this worked!!! Thank you! i almost gave up! Such a weird bug.. especially since it happened from Minimizing a game lol Thanks again

final update: launched valheim again and the fps was normal but i was getting a horrible stutter every 2 seconds. i checked my frametimes and its jumping from 2ms to 2500 ms and the FPS graph is going from 2 fps to 85 every other tick. so im pretty sure my gpu is dying. thanks for the help...

apparently you can't just Update MS directX... so I guess im stuck playing games made for openGL API lol... weird. you'd think if it was a hardware issue it wouldn't matter what API im using.

update: I made a little bit of progress. i ran unigine heaven benchmark and MS directX 11 gave me the same fps problem but openGL was fine. ill try reinstalling ms directx and post another update after.

yeah this is really strange. i tried doom eternal on vulkan to see if it had something to do with openGL and i got 400 fps in the UI (which is 3d) but the moment i launch the campaign it goes back down to 1 fps. I still can't explain why both the gpu and cpu are seemingly fine in stress tests...

cpu is approx 50c gpu is 73c

OK i figured it out, the cpu clock speed goes up to 4.04 GHz when its at 100% utilization. but while im experiencing the fps drops the CPU utilization is about 40% on msi afterburner.

according to msi afterburner the gpu core clock jumps from 301 to 850 during the fps drops. Voltage goes up slightly as well. it doesn't tell me the cpu clock though,

i was playing valheim and had to minimize my game. When i maximized it again my fps dropped from 60 to literally 1 to 3 fps. "Slideshow" is an understatement. I restarted the game, same problem. i restarted my pc, same problem. I tried other games and Supreme commander runs fine somehow. halo...
