Ok guys, I'll admit this first - I'm a total rookie when it comes to PC hardware and software as well.
Long story short, I was playing The Witcher 3 on my PC for some time and it ran completely fine on medium-high settings, stopped playing for a week, came back, and suddenly the game is slow, clunky, stuttering, and takes much longer to react to my keyboard and mouse.
Now, I tried playing with the graphic settings, tried rolling back the video card driver to the one i used when the game was fine, both, to no avail. So I concluded that it has nothing to do with my video card.
I opened a thread on steam asking for help, and this guy started helping me, telling me to check if my CPU is overheating. I ran HWmonitor while nothing was open on the PC, and while playing the game. Here are the files I saved from HWmonitor: https://filebin.net/la23gw0uq602sjop
The guy said that from what he can see, I'm running a 'big overclock' on it, so he told me to reset my BIOS settings to default, set the right memory settings, and then set my SSD as a boot option. I don't completely know if I did all of this correctly, but here are shots of the changes I did and the BIOS settings: https://filebin.net/6cgfienw2isx7jn8
If I did it correctly, then it didn't work. I barely noticed any kind of change in the game, it was still running slow and clunky.
I really don't know what to do next, I've a couple of other things I've seen on the internet, but they are didn't work as well. It will be a great help for me if one of you guys could review this thread and try to solve this problem.
My specs:
OS: Windows 10 64 bit
Processor: Intel core i7-8700 3.20GHz (12 CPUs)
Video card: GeForce GTX 960
Memory: 8GB RAM
