Question 4060 is underperforming after re-seating and cleaning ?

[DiegoGG]

i noticed some performance drops in my GPU. In FH5 for example my FPS went from 120 to 60-80 with some stutters.

I tried the 3D Mark demo and It said that my results where average for my pc and GPU-Z detects all the pins correctly.

It's worth saying that It isn't the First time this GPU was underperforming and the issue was even worse. I fixed It by changing the power setting in the control panel but this time it didn't fix it altough the issue seems to be less severe now.

I tried testing FN and the FPS for my GPU where good so the issue seems limited to FH5 altough this performance loss right after cleaning and re seating the gpu worries me for potential damage.

I also tried Heaven Benchmark and got 114 FPS and scored 2880 in Extreme 1080p
Could this be a software issue or its almots cenranlty related to my hardware?

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Its worth saing that It isnt the First time this GPU was underperforming and the issue was even worse. I fixed It by changing the power setting in the control panel but this time it didn't fix it altough the issue seems to be less severe now.
Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

I already done that but nothing changed.

Are you running GeForce Experience or Nvidia App?
Since if you do, that software can reduce FPS.

Yes but why the sudden fps drop After reseating? I had GeForce app before too

Your guess is as good as ours.

It's worth saying that It isn't the First time this GPU was underperforming and the issue was even worse. I fixed It by changing the power setting in the control panel but this time it didn't fix it altough the issue seems to be less severe now.

Your issue seems to be software related since 1st time it appeared, it was fixed with software configuration. And based on what you said, software configuration also remedied the 2nd instance somewhat.

so the issue seems limited to FH5

If so, then it is the game issue.

Either go over in-game graphical settings or reinstall the game.

I tried the 3D Mark demo and It said that my results where average

When bench says results are good, then hardware wise, you're good.

I also tried Heaven Benchmark and got 114 FPS and scored 2880 in Extreme 1080p

Best to run Unigine Superposition,

Since for that, there are leaderboards whereby your results can be compared against other same model GPUs.

1080p Extreme profile may show you slideshow, since it's a torture test for GPU.
1080p High is the usual setting for gaming, so, you can run this preset instead.
Or run both and tell the scores, so that there's more data for comparison.
